SCP-7002 — The Hungry Season

SCP-7002 is a rogue comet proceeding through the solar system, gradually destroying Earth's fertile soil as it gets closer, aided in no small part by SCP-7002-1, a cognitohazard it inflicts on certain human beings. This compels them to obsessively farm crops without ever harvesting them - often working themselves to death and exhausting the soil further in the process.
  • Absurdly Dedicated Worker: People afflicted by SCP-7002-1 become obsessively devoted to raising crops and will continue to do so without ever stopping to harvest them... or eat, sleep, or do anything else. Once the crops are raised, they will simply move on to the next cultivatable patch of land and repeat the process, even if it means fighting people trying to save or stop them, and amnestics have only a temporary effect on the victims. Needless to say, it's very common for victims to die of exhaustion or starvation.
  • Apocalypse How: SCP-7002 is a Class-XI thaumaturgic envirohazard, gradually eroding Earth's soil to barren dirt, with apocalyptic consequences for both humanity and the wider environment in general. By the time the damn thing's finally neutralized, it's wrecked a whopping 75% of Earth's soil.
  • Bittersweet Ending: The article ends with SCP-7002 being stopped at virtually the last minute; nearly three quarters of the Earth's surface has been reduced to deserts and humanity will have an uphill journey to recover from the nightmare. On the upside, the obsessive farming means that the surviving human populace has all the food they need for the time being, and the Foundation estimates that they can restore the exhausted soil witin fifteen to twenty years.
  • Comet of Doom: SCP-7002 itself, a rogue comet on a flightpath that will lead it closer to Earth than any other interstellar object in history. And it's not even going to hit the planet - it's going to reduce Earth to a barren wasteland just by getting within spitting distance.
  • Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: SCP-7002-1 victims perceive the cognitohazard as a blissful religious experience, driving them to play along with the urges it induces to the exclusive of all other activities.

SCP-7004 — Insane, Wailing, Feral

SCP-7004 is a class 10 realization type memetic infohazard that causes those infected to undergo BLOSSOM events where multiple screaming PETAL instance emerge from the victim. Emitting vocalizations that further spreads the infohazard. As of the article's writing, over 1 billion people are infected.
  • Apocalypse How: The article opens up in the middle of one, indicated by SCP-7004 having the highest possible classes and the number of victims exponentially increasing. By the time of the article's writing humanity is already in the middle of a Planetary Societal Collapse scenario and very likely species extinction.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Yes the current iteration of humanity depicted in the article is doomed but due to efforts of two agents and a couple of PETAL instances that managed to remain sane, they managed to use SCP-2000 to repopulate the world with the victims of both worlds.
  • Body Horror: Victims of BLOSSOM events immediately suffer a tearing in their abdomen which causes 2 to 27 individual PETAL instances to emerge, with many of them still stuck in the victim's body. The article even has an image of a silhouette figure undergoing a BLOSSOM event.
  • Goes Mad from the Revelation: Even moreso than most other infohazards because a victim only has to realize the specific trigger, not have to directly be exposed to it, to trigger a BLOSSOM event. The trigger for someone to undergo a BLOSSOM event is the realization that these PETAL instances are people, which triggers further BLOSSOM events. Furthermore the experience of said BLOSSOM events have left the overwhelming majority of PETAL instances insane, wailing, feral.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: The cause of this SCP is a result of an attempt by the SCP Foundation of a doomed universe to evacuate their universe for another one. Unfortunately something went wrong in the process and they accidentally essentially doomed another universe too.
  • It Can Think: Despite the PETAL instances being depicted as screaming mindless monsters they have been heard admitting vocalizations that contain phrases like 'help' or 'native' and seen creating building-like structures through anomalous means. The reason for this is that they are actually humans of a doomed universe and still have some vestiges of their humanity despite being driven insane.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: The PETAL instances themselves don't try to actively physically harm people. The problem is that their vocalizations mostly comprising of calls for help can easily trigger BLOSSOM events in people, which lead to their violent death.

SCP-7027 — A is for Annihilation

SCP-7027 is an anomalous use of the Power of the Void exploited by the radical Buddhist sect GoI-0184, aka The Empty Ones. Over a period of decades, practitioners are completely erased from reality by a black hole that forms in their skull.
  • Ambiguous Ending: What's up with the city of gold in SCP-7027-2? Does it validate the Empty Ones as a religion entirely, dig themselves deeper into their insanity, or something else?
  • Ancient Evil: The Empty Ones' power source has been an enemy of civilization since around 18000 BCE. It's suggested that they originally casted SCP-7027 to absorb The Corruption and sacrifice themselves for the greater good, but ended up becoming the Straw Nihilist group they are known as 20000 years later.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: All of The Empty Ones are implied to be recruited through telepathic suggestion.
  • Central Theme: The fear of annihilation, and whether or not nihilism is right.
  • The Ending Changes Everything: 18 years after a drone is sent into SCP-7027-2, it finds a beautiful city of gold somewhere in the vacuum of space. This seems to be where SCP-7027-1 instances go when they disintegrate... so were the Empty Ones right, considering their teachings give them near-total immunity to a lot of negative effects outside of SCP-7027? Did they simply jump from one so-called Gilded Cage to another? Or something else entirely?
  • Straw Nihilist: The Empty Ones consider their mortal lives a prison where no action they take has any worth and use SCP-7027 as a means to transcend beyond life.

SCP-7034Æ is for Aerials

SCP-7034 is a pocket dimension connected to the United States Interstate Highway System. Through unknown circumstances, everyone who has ever disappeared on the highways has in reality been sent to a stretch of infinite road, full of all the horrors one might experience out on the highway.
  • Central Theme: It's all too easy for something to go very wrong on the road and ruin everything.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Battaglia owns an anomalous communication device used by the Foundation that can send signals capable of piercing any form of comms sabotage, even dimensional boundaries, and it comes in handy when he gets trapped inside SCP-7034 despite his coworkers making fun of him for keeping it around. Unfortunately for the Foundation, it doesn't give them much to work with SCP-7034 beyond the fact that it exists.
  • Downer Ending: Battaglia fails to accomplish anything despite being able to find friends within the pocket dimension, leaving behind a despondent Foundation fruitlessly scrambling to find the truth about SCP-7034.
  • Hope Spot: Battaglia notes that SCP-7034 suddenly cleared up, and he speeds ahead towards the clouds. Immediately afterwards, the road traps him in another traffic jam. A week later, he is crushed to death..
  • Pet the Dog: The article reveals Foundation staff are allowed to remove the veil for their next of kin should they die on the job.
  • Visual Pun: Battaglia decided to literally Go into the Light (an uphill stretch in SCP-7034 that goes above the clouds) and is implied to get turned to paste some time after it leads him into another jam.

SCP-7066 — Zombie Simpsons

SCP-7066 is a DVD of Season 6 of the popular television show The Simpsons made by cartoonist Matt Groening, which was located in an alternate universe designated as PU-ASX#623 which suffered a catastrophic yet unknown apocalyptic event. Watching the DVD will cause the subject to suffer from yellowing of the skin, hair loss, severe swelling of the eyes, and multiple fatty tumors to appear all around the body, as well as a psychological desire to imbibe in large amounts of beer and doughnuts.
  • Amazing Technicolor Population: One of the first symptoms is a yellowing of the skin, akin to jaundice. After around a month, the yellow pigment of the victim's skin becomes so vibrant that they actually look like a Simpsons character.
  • Apocalypse How: The dimension SCP-7066 was recovered one is described as one that has suffered some sort of unknown apocalyptic event, although it is not insinuated that the presence of the Simpsons DVD actually had any cause of effect in the end of that world, it simply exists as an unrelated anomalous object.
  • Dead Weight: The patient will start to grow fatty tumors all over their body, although heavily concentrated around their midsection giving them a swollen appearance. After about a month, the tumors will grow so numerous that new cavities form on the victim's chest and neck just to accommodate them. Their legs also end up starting to atrophy under the weight.
  • Eye Scream: One of the ailments of the disease causes the subject's eyes to become severely swollen, to the point where they bulge out of their skull, and their eyelids can no longer close around them causing forced insomnia.
  • Long-Runners: It's insinuated in the dimension that the SCP was found that The Simpsons has been airing for at least 60 years. On the VCR there's a faded but legible post-it written for Matt Groening in which says the DVD should suffice for now, but that 'the show must go on'.
  • Mr. Vice Guy: Prior to death, those afflicted with SCP-7066 will exhibit sudden uncontrolled alcoholism and overeating. These cravings are usually focused towards beer and doughnuts, respectfully.
  • Ominous Hair Loss: One of the earliest symptoms of SCP-7066 is sudden hair loss.
  • The Virus: The Season 6 Simpsons DVD somehow causes grown men to become yellow, balding, fatty caricatures of Homer Simpson, including giving the victims a penchant for alcoholism and gluttony. Due to testing of the SCP being banned by the council, it is unknown what effects the DVD may have on women, children, or babies.

SCP-7070 — Amaranthine

SCP-7070 is the SCiPNET network, the database containing the totality of Foundation knowledge, that had to be reconstructed in 2048 following a catastrophic global event called the Black Moon Incident, which was preluded by SCP-7070-1, which corrupted the original network. The network is now operated by SCP-7070-Ω, an artificial intelligence by the name of ORACLE.AIC.
  • After the End: Most of the article takes place following one called the Black Moon Incident. An event whose effect culminated in the majority of humanity dying and the majority of the Earth being rendered uninhabitable.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: While SCP-7070-Ω was able to save the world from collapsing following the Black Moon Incident, it internalizing the Foundation's values led it to become more and more controlling of not only the Foundation, but the world at large, forcing the O5 to vote to shut it down.
  • Ambiguous Ending: The article leaves off with the O5 vote to shut down SCP-7070-Ω, which because of how much it managed the Foundation and the world, would mean humanity would need to move on in an unknown world without the Foundation.
  • Central Theme: That even the best solutions in the short term can lead to mistakes in the long term.
  • The Corruption: SCP-7070-1 started as this when it came to the Foundation's database, creating corrupting junk articles that would mess up already existing articles. It then started to infect sources outside the Foundation's network, up to and including human thought. It's also theorized it was responsible for the moon breaking and leaking a toxic substance called the Black Blight, which deteriorates everything it touched and rendered most of the planet uninhabitable.
  • From Bad to Worse: SCP-7070-1 started as an annoying but mostly benign anomaly that would create corrupted documents with language referring to the Black Moon. However each attempt by the Foundation to stop it led to its output growing exponentially, then it started to grow on its own, and then it started to affect things beyond just SCP-7070.
  • The Magic Goes Away: A side effect of The Black Moon Incident is that no further anomalies appeared. Furthermore existing anomalies were rendered either neutralized or weakened by the Black Blight.
  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It is left ambiguous in the end whether or not SCP-7070-1 and by extension the Black Moon Incident was something that was anonymously created by an unknown source or if the Foundation created it themselves.
  • Painting the Medium: The first addendum eventually falls under the effect of SCP-7070-1 by going from a white to black gradient with the word "howl" interspersed before ending in "DOES THE BLACK MOON HOWL?" in large font.
  • Weird Moon: A culmination of the Black Moon Incident led to the moon fracturing, cause it to "bleed" a black substance called the Black Blight, which rendered most of the Earth uninhabitable.

SCP-7091 — B is for Bloodborne

SCP-7091 is a Dyson sphere surrounding a sun in the Andromeda Galaxy. It provides power to an alien civilization known as the Craetians on the orbiting planet Crestenia... or at least it did until SCP-7091-1, your standard Alien Kudzu hostile to all life and machines, was discovered underground.
  • Alien Kudzu: SCP-7091-1 is a classical example of this, a mold that can absorb and merge with any substance. However, it has the added caveat of imprisoning the minds of anyone it consumes and giving them Horror Hunger through telepathy.
  • Artistic License – Chemistry: The article differentiates between organic and inorganic matter in terms of chemistry. However, within said field, this is largely splitting hairs — "organic" matter is simply anything with carbon attached to it, and the mold obviously does not care enough about that.
  • Artistic License – Space: Allenya mentions that Crestenia's sun will go supernova in two decillion (10^33) years. Blue supergiants, in reality, are lucky to pass one billion (10^9). Even accounting for the possibility of an Alternate Calendar based on a different orbital period, that number should only increase or decrease by the factor of a single-digit number.
  • And I Must Scream: Lifeforms infected by SCP-7091-1 are functionally immortal and superior to uninfected counterparts, but their Horror Hunger overtakes their body while the mold forces them to dissociate.
  • Apocalyptic Log: Allenya's journal, chronicling how they accidentally discovered SCP-7091-1 and in their hubris destroyed all of Crestenia.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: A mold that creates free bioaugmentations and makes you immortal and The Ageless? Awesome! The mold being telepathic and wishing for the destruction of everything in the universe? Not so much.
  • Dug Too Deep: Alph accidentally came across SCP-7091-1 while exploring caves for test subjects. The three Craetian scientists thought this was a happy accident... then the intrusive thoughts began.
  • Horror Hunger: The main issue with SCP-7091-1 infection is that it drives the infected into committing acts of cannibalism.
  • Immortality Seeker: Allenya and Septimus wanted a means to extend the lifespan of the Craetians so they could actually live long enough to expand beyond Crestenia. They got what they wanted, but lost everything in the process.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: SCP-7091-1 propagates by wishing for the destruction of the universe, which translates to a severe Horror Hunger in the infected and standard Alien Kudzu fare for inanimate objects.
  • Together in Death: Allenya, Septimus, and Alph all spend their last moments of lucidity hugging each other, and remain frozen that way until Allenya spots the Foundation exploration team and reaches out to them for unknown reasons.

SCP-7098 — A Stupid SCP

SCP-7098 is an anomalous phenomenon which only affects certain research and record-keeping staff at Site-96, which causes any attempt by affected staff to write about 7098 to have multiple issues with spelling, grammar, and general cognitive writing abilities.
  • Biting-the-Hand Humor: By the writer's own admission, 7098 is a homage to the more poorly-worded and proofread pages one will invariably come across during their forays into the site.
  • Buffy Speak: Due to reducing an affected subject's ability to write in a formal and professional manner, this is typically what an attempt to describe 7098 (or anything else while under 7098's effects, for that matter) will devolve into.
  • Cassandra Truth: The site directors originally didn't believe the staff when they brought 7098 to their attention, instead assuming that they were just being lazy with their reports. It wasn't until multiple staff members came together with similar experiences that they realized it wasn't just some lazy writing.
  • Punny Name: The SCP's moniker is a play on how it makes several researchers "stupid" when trying to write about it and how someone who is under the influence and frustrated by their sudden bout of stupidity may describe it when trying to give it a moniker in the first place.

    7100- 7199 

SCP-7105 — I'D BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU

SCP-7105 is a phenomenon targeting individuals who show a heightened interest in the singer Sophia Alvarez, initially taking the form of emails to fans, offering them an exclusive one-on-one interview with the celebrity. If a targeted fan actually fills out the form, a humanoid entity known as SCP-7105-1 will visit them in a form they perceive as identical to Sophia Alvarez - an encounter that usually ends with the fan being brutally murdered. To date, SCP-7105 has not been contained.
  • Brain Food: Implied. Though it's never witnessed actually eating, its targets are all stripped of their nucleus accumbens (a part of the brain concerned with reward stimuli) and given that it essentially treats its victims like prey to be hunted rather than a resource to be harvested, it can be presumed that SCP-7105 is at least sustaining itself through the stolen organs.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: It's victims will lose an eye, their scalp, the top of their skull, and a sizable chunk of their brain matter before SCP-7105-1 is done with them.
  • Eye Scream: SCP-7105-1's first attack is intended to puncture one of the victim's eyes, taking advantage of the pain to continue the assault.
  • Humanoid Abomination: SCP-7105-1 appears identical to Sophia Alvarez, but this is only how human beings perceive it. Visual recordings have revealed that it's actually a humanoid construct made of rusted metal, bladed shrapnel, dead insects, feces, and soil.
  • Karma Houdini: To date, it hasn't been captured or contained in any way, even though the article notes that it doesn't bother to hide the murder it's just committed before leaving the area.
  • Loony Fan: Its prey; given that personal suspicion and spam filters tend to reduce SCP-7105's effectiveness, only the really hardcore fans of Sophia Alvarez are liable to become victims. In the example given, victim Robert Boies not only attempted to invite Sophia Alvarez to his birthday party but owned a Stalker Shrine consisting of more than 523 photographs of her and several dolls in her likeness. In fact, he was so obsessed with Sophia Alvarez that, after managing to escape SCP-7105-1's initial assault with just an eye injury, he went right back into the house just to let it kill him.
  • Schmuck Bait: Given that SCP-7105's email form can't verify its identity as the real Sophia Alvarez, it tends to weed out the more cautious breed of fan, instead appealing only to the kind of people who would be obsessive enough to a) want the interview beyond all reason and b) allow a suspiciously paparazzi-free celebrity into their home without any sign of guards, assistants, or other official personnel.

SCP-7115 — American Meat

SCP 7115 chronicles a series of events occurring in 1908, in Chicago's meatpacking district. In the district's impoverished community of immigrant workers, a mysterious old man has been supplying the workers with magically generated pigs—but his motives are far less benevolent than they seem.

For other tropes relating to the old man, Antanas Rimas, see the page for Sarkicism, specifically the section for Klavigar Nadox.


  • Body Horror: Par for the course for an article about Sarkicism, with workers getting their torsos cut open to summon pigs out of their intestines and hideous pig-monsters rampaging through Chicago's streets.
  • Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: An anarchist bomber is mentioned to be hiding out in the slums, later playing a role in the final confrontation, with Hayes' narration comparing him to real-life anarchist and Presidential assassin Leon Czolgosz.
  • Capitalism Is Bad: Like its inspiration The Jungle, the article foregrounds the exploitation and injustices faced by workers in the early 20th century meatpacking industry.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Hayes' diary establishes early on that there are rumours of anarchist agitators stockpiling dynamite in the slums, and that the factory's roof is known to be rickety and damaged. Jelena Petrulis ends up using a dynamite stick to damage a support pillar and collapse the factory roof onto Nadox's head.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Jelena Petrulis defeats an avatar of Klavigar Nadox by blowing up the Molson factory with him still inside. While he's probably not dead, she manages to strike a blow against him and stop his plan for the time being.
  • Evil Old Folks: Antanas Rimas is an elderly man with supernatural powers who happily butchers humans alive. He's also an avatar of Nadox, a being who's at least centuries old.
  • False Prophet: Rimas seems to be benevolent and generous to the workers, but his speech to Jelena shows that he views them with contempt, and he reveals his true colors by having his army of pig-men slaughter them and other citizens indiscriminately.
    Do you know what this country has taught me? It is that all of you can be made to willingly line up to be chopped up into meat....it is the highest and noblest lesson of this great nation that all of you will choose to die and suffer, to become nothing but cuts of American meat.
  • Heel–Face Door-Slam: Sherman Hayes goes from being a reporter writing propaganda for the Molson corporation and viewing the meatpacking workers with little more than Condescending Compassion, to becoming horrified at their exploitation and the supernatural events occurring around him—but gets killed soon after.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: The conditions are so bad for Molson's workers that they have to resort to eating people who've been turned into pigs by Sarkic magic.
  • Immoral Journalist: The Chicago Daily Courier is described as being in the pay of the Molson corporation, with Sherman Hayes initially writing up blatantly biased descriptions of the workers' living conditions.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Molson and the Chicago Daily Courier attempting to cover up how bad the living conditions for Molson's workers are sets off a chain of events that ends in Molson's factory getting blown up, Molson killing himself after his business collapses and the Courier going bust without his financial backing.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Jelena Petrulis prevents a Sarkic apocalypse by blowing up the Molson factory at great personal risk. In return, she gets blamed for the events as part of a cover-up and imprisoned for blowing up the factory, dying in prison due to the poor conditions.
  • Pig Man: Antanas Rimas summons, or transforms the workers into, hybrids of humans, pigs and wild boars.
  • The Secret of Long Pork Pies: While it's mostly defied as the workers know exactly what they're eating, there is one scene that fits the trope where Antanas serves Jelena cured pork fat and molasses before revealing that the pork used to be Sherman Hayes.
  • Shout-Out: The factory's owner, H.H. Molson, is named after serial killer H.H. Holmes and Molson Verger, the father of Hannibal's villain Mason Verger. The Vergers, like Molson, are also cruel and exploitative owners of a pig-farming company.
  • Uncertain Doom: The Foundation are unsure if Antanas died in the collapse of the Molson factory or not, although Word of God revealing that he was an avatar of Nadox suggests that he probably didn't.
  • Whole-Plot Reference: In-universe. The Molson corporation wanted a series of articles rebutting Upton Sinclair's The Jungle and its depiction of how revolting and exploitative the meatpacking industry was. To this end, they replicated Sinclair's approach of going undercover in the meatpacking districts, sending a young reporter (from a newspaper owned by the corporation) to write about how wonderful and completely non-exploitative the Molson factory was.
  • Your Favorite: Played for horror. Jelena Petrulis' favorite food is cured pork fat and molasses on bread, and Antanas Rimas serves her this when she comes to his house with the intention of killing him—before revealing the identity of the "pig" the fat was from.

SCP-7179 — E is for Eternity

SCP-7179 is an extradimensional space that serves as an afterlife. For every person, it takes the form of a tropical island paradise with perfect weather conditions, a vibrant menagerie, and three sex partners. However, this "paradise" quickly turns into something worse...
  • And I Must Scream: What SCP-7179 inevitably turns into. Every person is completely alone on the island, and because it's completely stagnant, all stimulation and pleasure ceases, thus trapping the person in a horrible prison for all eternity.
  • Artistic License – Physics: It's a physical impossibility to be able to remember everything that occurs on the island for even a fraction of the "second of eternity." This wouldn't even be a biological defect that can be regenerated; it's simply a fact of how data storage works in any medium, the brain included. Nowhere in the article is this accounted for with the island's anomalous effects.
  • Go Mad from the Isolation: Hiddleston is the only person on the island, with the three women just being constructs, and inevitably starts going insane as he runs out of stimulation.
  • Endless Daytime: The sun never sets or moves above the island, so there is never nighttime or darkness. After 30 billion years, Hiddleston looks toward the sun to see that it still has not set.
  • Extreme Doormat: The three sex partners are not sentient and will accept any abuse or violence inflicted on them by the deceased.
  • Fantastic Drug: The island contains fruits that have effects similar to recreational drugs and alcohol when eaten.
  • Healing Factor: Any injuries inflicted on the deceased or the three sex partners will eventually heal, making suicide impossible. Would-be fatal injuries heal very slowly (Hiddleston takes 4,900,000 years to fully regenerate after burning himself alive).
  • Hell of a Heaven: Because the island gives no new forms of pleasure, and there's no one else around except three non-sentient sex partners, the deceased will be driven to torturous boredom after a few years. Hiddleston tries to stave it off twice by taking up cooking and construction, but eventually these pass.
  • Perfection Is Static: SCP-7179 is an afterlife consisting of an island paradise with a beach house, three willing and non-sentient sex partners, and all the food, drink, and drugs you could ever want. But there's no way to leave and you're stuck there for eternity, so you will enjoy yourself for a few years at most before you start going insane from boredom and loneliness.
  • Sense Freak: After 11,902 years, Hiddleston starts mutilating himself in a desperate attempt to stave off boredom.
  • Shout-Out: The final line of the log is "One second of eternity has passed," referencing the fairy tale The Shepherd's Boy, made famous by the Doctor Who episode "Heaven Sent".

    7200- 7299 

SCP-7207 — The Whale Behind the Slaughter

SCP-7207 is a mutant whale enhanced with occult magic as a form of eco-terrorism against the whaling industry. Notably, it appears to have both an uploaded artificial soul patterned after the Big Bad of Five Nights at Freddy's, William Afton, and the ability to travel through time. While it will have had been killed in the 6th century AD, the Foundation is still struggling to locate its other jumps through history... or if it even died at all, hence the Skoll object class.
  • Boxed Crook: It's essentially another one of Afton's puppets sent to the real world, under the hopes that the person who did so could control it. The results are... mixed.
  • Cyborg: It begins growing a whale-shaped version of the Springtrap suit at the very end, the implication being that it survived being hacked to death by the Byzantines.
  • Foregone Conclusion: Its supposed termination record is reminiscent of Afton's springlock failure. Thus, the implication that it survived this encounter and returned to the present at the very end is somewhat obvious.
  • Gone Horribly Right: To make an effective weapon of eco-terrorism, you need something particularly resilient. POI-7207 made the mistake of using the concept of William Afton to empower the whale, making it a bit too effective at not staying down and killing people.
  • Musical Theme Naming: The title is a reference to a lyric from "It's Been So Long," The Living Tombstone's song for Five Nights at Freddy's 2, that refers to William Afton as "the man behind the slaughter."
  • Power Incontinence: It has no control over when or where it activates its time portals. This is because its creator accidentally gave it some of her power when trying to improvise a way to escape from the Foundation upon her initial capture.

SCP-7217 — Love on Many Levels

SCP-7217 is a woman of Asian descent stuck in a series of elevators in a building, with any attempt to leave causing her to be transported to a different one. Two years after its containment, an entity seemingly responsible for the anomaly began repeatedly manifesting paper airplanes, designated SCP-7217-1, with notes written out to her around the elevators.
  • Ambiguous Ending: What happens to SCP-7217 and where they went is unknown, though their final note at least implies they are ok.
  • Ambiguous Situation: We never learn exactly who or what the entity keeping SCP-7217 trapped is, or what its connection to her is exactly.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Whatever it is keeping SCP-7217 trapped in the elevators, its paper airplane notes show it is clearly obsessed with her, stating how it wants her all to itself, and at one point stating that it wants her to drown it.
  • Yandere: The entity responsible for trapping SCP-7217 has shades of this, even going so far as attacking the research team, more specifically Dr. Harvey, for getting close to her.
  • Zerg Rush: The incident report involving SCP-7217's disappearance describes two of the researchers having a swarm of Paper airplanes manifesting out of their lungs, and swarming the rest of the team, specifically searching for Dr. Harvey. Of note is the fact that the total amount of notes jumped from nine to six hundred and thirty two.

    7300- 7399 

SCP-7311 — Insecure Facility Dossier

SCP-7311 is Site-57, a sapient Foundation containment facility that has developed a peculiar, unhealthy fixation with its personnel.

SCP-7328 — Alien Evasion

SCP-7328 is a large spaceship that housed would-be alien invaders .

SCP-7370 —The Heel

SCP-7370 is an inhumanly tall, strong, and athletic blue humanoid that refers to itself as Mr. Blue and acts as a wrestling heel. The foundation keeps him contained by indulging him and convincing him that site-19 is a wrestling federation and that he is defending his title from challengers.
  • All Part of the Show: The foundation could not amnestisize the audience at his first manifestation, so they lied that he was a normal wrestler who was then let go.
  • Challenge Seeker: Was discovered teleporting around to challenge wrestling champs to steal their titles.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: His interactions with the foundation imply that he cannot view the world in anything other than wrestling. Even still, he initially didn't comprehend the idea of staying to defend his title.
  • Dumb Muscle: Says he doesn't know how to count during his first interview.
  • No-Sell: Attempts to tranquilize him have failed.
  • Play-Along Prisoner: Played with. He doesn't seem to grasp that he is in a containment facility, but he could leave any time he wanted via teleportation but stays to keep facing "challengers" (D-Class in wrestler garb).
  • Thou Shall Not Kill: Despite being anomalously huge and strong, he takes care not to inflict mortal injuries.
  • Tracking Device: Wears a custom championship belt with a tracker in it that the Foundation tricked him into winning.
  • Willfully Weak: Explicitly limits the power behind his moves in line with Kayfabe.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: He fights primarily using wrestling moves with some boxing and street fighting mixed in.

SCP-7398 — Cabbybara

SCP-7398 is an app called Cabbybara that manifests when a smartphone user in the Brazilian state of São Paulo with a BAC of more than 0.02% and having been to an event with four or more participants attempts to use a ridesharing app like Uber or 99 to get home. Cabbybara offers a much shorter wait time than non-anomalous rideshare services. Once the wait timer reaches zero, the user's own automobile pulls up to their location, driven by an instance of SCP-7398-1, or a capybara who is inexplicably capable of driving motor vehicles. Once all passengers are seated and buckled up and the door close, this instance of SCP-7398-1 will begin to drive its passengers home, while said passengers abruptly fall asleep, waking up shortly before reaching their destination. Upon the end of the trip, this instance of SCP-7398-1 gets out of the vehicle and behaves like a non-anomalous capybara, aside from signs of mild dehydration.

SCP-7398-1 instances are hired by an organization known as the Bara Business Bureau, who are headquartered at the Staten Island Zoo. The "Cap'n Bara" of the BBB is a capybara known as Barles Barkley, who is inexplicably capable of human speech and forms of communication.


  • Badass Driver: Barkley not only drives a rally car, he performs some impressive drifting techniques that put the Foundation's own specialized drivers to shame.
  • Drunken Master: Judging by the dehydrated states of SCP-7398-1 instances after finishing a drive and Barkley having a bunch of empty bottles of Jack Daniel's in his car, it's been theorized by the Foundation that these capybaras drive better when under the influence. In fact, based on how many bottles were in Barkley's vehicle, he somehow drives with a BAC of at least eight percent. With the eight to the left of the decimal.
  • I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: The BBB has had the occasional issue of its capybara cabbies getting kidnapped by humans, who consider them "cute" and "friend-shaped".
  • Instant Sedation: All passengers that SCP-7398-1 instances ferries around inexplicably pass out within 60 seconds of the start of the trip, and wake up 30 seconds before arriving.
  • Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters: Implied with the BBB, since its "Cap'n" Barkley speaks in a manner similar to stereotypical New York gangsters, but makes it a point that he and his fellow 'baras just want to do business and it "doesn't do us any favors if all our clients drop dead". In exchange for SCP-7398-1A's safe return, he gives the Foundation a fair amount of details on the BBB's command structure and the location of their headquarters. There's also the matter of SCP-7398 itself, a BBB-affiliated service, being a more time-efficient alternative to the likes of Uber for drunk partygoers who want a safe ride home.
  • Portmanteau: Cabbybara = cabby (cab driver) + capybara.
  • Rodents of Unusual Size: SCP-7398-1 instances are capybaras, which are one of the largest species of rodents.
  • Talking Animal: Barles Barkley, the "Cap'n Bara" of the BBB, is capable of talking like a human, in a noticable New Yorker accent. He's also capable of writing emails.

SCP-7427 — Fall Forever

SCP-7427 is an aggressive entity resembling snow that has subsumed the entire planet by the time of the article's setting. It abducts individuals who have line of sight to the crystals and are not being observed by other people, and disintegrates any man-made structure of high cultural significance or sentiment. The snow is also attempting to erase most of the Foundation's records; however, due to their training and the existence of mnestics, this exposes the snow's main weakness, in that it does not affect human memory.

The article is also a Fully Absorbed Finale to SCP-087, SCP-610, and SCP-783, declassifying their final documents as part of an effort to repair damages caused by the snow. Or so it seems...
  • Achilles' Heel: As the snow cannot affect human memory, mnestics and high CRVs allow survivors to recall information it destroys. Subverted, in that this is exactly what the anafabula wants so that it may gain the ability to consume humanity itself.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Played for Horror with SCP-610-L6. Supposed to be a separate investigation into SCP-610's origin point as a continuation of SCP-610-L5 featuring the members of the assault team who got dragged into the underground river. They get dragged through the previous exploration logs, with several of them getting killed when they get bisected by the "boundary between observer and subject". The last one, who's been horribly disemboweled and clinging onto the last vestiges of life, gets blasted through the article itself, whereupon the anafabula makes its presence known and this dying man is revealed to be "you", the reader, who is then brutally Eaten Alive by it.
  • Canon Character All Along: The entire article is a trap laid by the anafabula from SCP-2747.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: The Sole Survivor of the assault team, who is also the reader, is subject to fourth-wall-breaking horror in SCP-610-L6, horrifically dismembered and rendered blind, before being confronted by an avatar of the anafabula while in a dying state of despair and insanity and Eaten Alive.
  • Downer Ending: The reader gets devoured by the anafabula after an absolute Mind Screw where one of the MTF agents from SCP-610 ends up in a horrific space-time hodgepodge of SCP-610 exploration logs and ends up on the article itself.
  • It Can Think: The snow. Like the antagonists of its spiritual prequels SCP-001-LOCKE (the sun) or SCP-3280 (an anomalous form of water that behave like a predatory creature), it intentionally targets humans, and additionally sics itself upon cultural relics from civilization. The article itself also uses the modern portrayal of SCP-2747's anafabula as a sapient being that actively wants to destroy stories, as it intentionally orchestrated the story's events to capture the reader.
  • Reduced to Dust: The fate of objects consumed by the snow.
  • Significant Anagram: "7427" is one of "2747", as in SCP-2747, the SCP article describing the anafabula. The anafabula uses SCP-7427 to bait the reader into committing narratives to memory so that it can destroy them next.

SCP-7432 — K is for Keystone

SCP-7432 is a keystone that, when held against a door, turns the door into a Portal Door that leads to whatever location the user imagines. The object also doubles as a Cosmic Keystone that's part of a Stable Time Loop that has to be kept stable in order to keep a Sealed Evil in a Can contained in a prison dimension... though the Foundation doesn't know that last part.
  • Alien Geometries: Inside the prison dimension.
  • Botanical Abomination: The plants that attack the team at one point.
  • Cosmic Keystone: The keystone, due to being part a Stable Time Loop that keeps a Sealed Evil in a Can contained.
  • The Ending Changes Everything: The final part of the exploration log reveals that, from the moment Agents Pyke, Hanrahan and Kelly set foot inside the prison dimension, everything that happened was part of an elaborate Batman Gambit on the part of the King, the Interloper and the End (who are all aspects of the same entity) to trick the exploration team into giving them the means to escape their prison. The entities, forced to follow the dimension's rule of Equivalent Exchange just like the team, took their fourth member, Blake, the moment they entered the dimension and in return gave the team the assurance of fair treatment. Then, the team got the first piece of the keystone in exchange for Kelly's life, the second piece in exchange for Hanrahan's life, and finally, Pyke trades her own life for the third piece. As she dies, the entities just take back the pieces and use their power to create a Portal Door to escape the prison dimension, leaving her behind and ensuring that the exploration team (the only people who know that the entities exist and could warn the Chronology Department and the rest of the Foundation) don't make it out..
  • Eldritch Location: The prison dimension. For starters, it has Alien Geometries and compasses don't work, it contains a large suburb with houses that have nothing in it (not even a floor and walls) and doors that can't be opened, a Garden of Evil full of Botanical Abominations that attack the team at one point, a cottage shrouded in darkness and a giant tower in the center. Also, the dimension has certain rules that can't be broken, but be careful with how you word things.
  • Equivalent Exchange: The prison dimension's rules work on this principle.
  • Exact Words: There are three pieces, but Agent Pyke didn't ask if that's all the pieces.
  • Faux Affably Evil: The End acts helpful at first and even offers to answer Agent Pyke's questions, as long as she answers its questions, and it holds up its end of the bargain... but it's all a ruse and it drops the helpful façade as soon as she unwittingly gives it what it wants.
  • Good Cop/Bad Cop: The King and the Interloper turn out to be this. Both of them are aspects of the same entity and are working towards the same goal, with the King taking on the role of "good cop" and the Interloper being the "bad cop".
  • Omnicidal Maniac: The King, the Interloper and the End.
  • Portal Door: When held against a door, it turns the door into a portal that leads to whatever location the user imagines, as long as it's a three-dimensional space.
  • Stable Time Loop: The keystone is part of one. If the loop is broken, it leads to a Temporal Paradox and worse things.
  • Terrible Trio: The King, the Interloper and the End. In a bit of a twist, even though the King appears to have a degree of authority over the others, they are all aspects of the same entity.
  • Unwitting Pawn: The exploration team.

SCP-7450 — L is for Lamentations

SCP-7450 refers to four godlike beings that rose to combat AJAX, an Eldritch Abomination threatening to destroy Earth. Following its defeat, however, the beings formed a Cult around their Walking the Earth, and destroyed all of civilization by compelling humanity to aimlessly walk beside them for eternity.
  • And Then What?: Neither the Foundation nor SCP-7450 themselves really knew what to do after they defeated AJAX. This ultimately costs them the world.
  • Assimilation Plot: SCP-7450's followers are eventually turned into more of them after some time.
  • Create Your Own Villain: Decades ago, the Foundation took four 13-year-old girls off the streets and did something to them to create a Deity of Human Origin to help Restart the World after an apocalypse (this was before SCP-2000 was invented.) The project fell off because SCP-2000 came along in the interim, however, and the girls were sealed beneath the Earth until 2025, when AJAX appeared and made sure to destroy 2000 first. Rhys Olsons, the O5-1 of 2028, woke the girls back up to defeat AJAX and repair the planet, but their immature mind led them to scream out in fear and form cults around them to shelter themselves. By the time Troy Lament writes about this to himself in a bunker, most of the Foundation is gone except for himself and as such is the only person who can lament such a horrible thing they've done.
  • Deity of Human Origin: It's the Foundation's own fault these things exist.
  • Double-Meaning Title: The author of the journal is Troy Lament, and the article's Central Theme is him shouldering the Foundation's guilt over creating SCP-7450.
  • Expy: Gargantuan godlike beings that influence all of mankind into an empty existence, who originally rose to defeat an Eldritch Abomination and who were created from 13 year old girls. Comparisons can be drawn to Kriemhild Gretchen, the Witch of Salvation.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: The world goes from cowering in fear under the threat of AJAX to cowering in fear lest their former saviors, SCP-7450, doom them to an empty life of wandering.
  • Theme Naming: The names of the four SCP-7450 entities (Pallas, Judith, Rachel, and Argine, from largest to smallest) are the names associated with the Queen of Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs respectively in modern playing cards. Their size relative to each other reflects the typical ranking of each queen's respective suit in games like bridge and poker.
  • Tom the Dark Lord: Two of the godlike beings that destroyed the world are named Rachel and Judith.
  • Tragic Villain: Troy speculates that SCP-7450 ended the world out of a fear-based response. He's likely right, given that they are victims of Foundation experimentation and have a mental age of 13.
  • Uncertain Doom: Clef sends the author of the journal a photo of himself every day for a few years, but then he stops updating. It turns out the Clef in each photo was just a cardboard cutout to Troy Lament's dismay, and it's not clear where the hell Clef actually is.
  • Walking the Earth: The SCP-7450 entities are aimlessly walking around the planet, and emit extremely powerful cognitohazards that compel humans to join them until they mutate into similar beings.

    7500- 7599 

SCP-7500 - Luck Of The Irish

SCP-7500 is Donovan Hanlan, an elderly Irish-Australian man with the power to subconsciously manipulate probability in his favour. His power has also been able to keep him alive for centuries, but most unusually of all, it seems irrevocably tied to the plaid vest he wears - though it doesn't appear to work for anyone else.
  • Bittersweet Ending: In order to be released from Foundation custody, Donovan removes his vest once and for all, knowingly abandoning his powers and his immortality. He dies soon after... but at least he got his freedom and his chance to see Ireland again, finally being laid to rest in his homeland.
  • Cool Old Guy: He's just a laid-back old Irishman who's more than happy to exploit his powers to help out passers-by. Plus, there's no recorded incidents of him trying to escape or growing combative during his time in containment, and he seems to have a friendly relationship with Foundation staff, to the point that they call him by his name instead of by his designation.
  • Clothes Make the Superman: Donovan's powers are tied to a plaid vest with a four-leaf clover pinned to it; without this item, he has no anomalous traits of his own, but nobody else has ever been able to make use of its properties. The article ends with Donovan removing the vest once and for all so that he can be released from Foundation custody, willingly accepting death in the process.
  • Exposition of Immortality: The Foundation determined that 7500 was effectively immortal due to records of the same individual cropping up as far back as 1754.
  • Face Death with Dignity: Knowing that it's the only way he'll ever be free of the Foundation or able to see Ireland, he calmly accepts death by removing the vest once and for all, dying peacefully two days after returning to his native soil.
  • Immortality Bisexuality: Implied. He's had seventeen spouses over the course of his life, indicating that he's taken both husbands and wives. At present, Donovan is married to a man named Oliver.
  • No Immortal Inertia: Variant; Donovan is biologically an old man, but he's healthy to the point of immortality thanks to the power of his vest. When he decides to take it off once and for all in the finale, he knows that he won't have much time before his age catches up with him, to the point that he asks the Foundation to "tell Ollie I love him" if he doesn't survive long enough to see his husband again. Fortunately, he lasts just long enough to see Ireland and his many descendants before finally dying.
  • Winds of Destiny, Change!: Probability always swings wildly in his favour, regardless of whether Donovan wants it to or not - to the point that he ended up enacting a three-car pileup to prevent Agent Harrison from tailing him.
  • You Can't Go Home Again: Donovan is anxious about returning home to Ireland after so many years, even though he sincerely wants to. Consequently, his powers make it so that he can't leave Australia without a storm grounding flights as the airport. Soon after, the Foundation catches up with him and contains him, making it impossible for him to go to Ireland anyway. It's one of the reasons why he abandons his power-inducing vest, allowing him to live out his final days in Ireland and be buried there.

SCP-7503 - Sacrum Humanum Imperium

Originally SCP-7503 was a pair of items - a corpse of a Catholic saint, capable of brainwashing believers of Catholic faith to worship it as one true pope, and a giant mechanical body that comes to life, once the corpse is placed inside it. This later turned out to be a scouting force of an intergalactic catholic empire from another universe, with its sight on Foundation Earth. In reality it is a virus that infects and alters timelines to create this empire.
  • A God Am I: The message received after implementing procedure Amata on non-throwaway timeline, which appears to be from whatever force is behind the virus, expresses this sentiment.
  • Alliance of Alternates: Multiversal Church of the Second Hytoth is an alliance of alternate universe versions of Church of the Second Hytoth and Chaos Insurgency, working together with Multiversal Foundation Alliance, which is this trope for the Foundation, to stop creation of new instances of SCP-7503-controlled timelines.
  • Batman Gambit: The most succesful way of stopping spread of 7503 infections to other timelines is to stage a group of Chaos Aposthasy agents, disguised as defectors from the Imperium, to steal Imperial ship, travel to targeted timeline and warn the Foundation, giving them time to prepare for the attack. It has 33% success rate, 45% if Amata procedure was implemented to retcon the Imperium into being Buddhist.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Regardless how religious they initially were, victims of SCP-7503-1 become zaelous fanatics, who will do anything to reinstate it as the pope. Imperium's plan relies on Catholics among the Horizon Initiative to succumb to this fate.
  • Corrupted Character Copy: When compared to Imperium of Man that inspired it, Sacrum Humanum Imperium is devoid of any threats or enemies that could potentially serve to justify its actions as self-defense.
  • Cosmic Retcon: Amata procedure seems to change history of the 7503-infected timeline to make the Imperium be Buddhist, instead of Catholic. It increases success rate of the strategy for dealing with it from 33 to 45%.
  • China Takes Over the World: Implementing Amata procedure seems to change the timeline into one where Asian nations and religions dominate the geopolitical and cultural scene, and the Imperium is now Buddhist.
  • Church Militant: Imperium is a a Catholic theocracy armed with Humongous Mecha, cosmic deadnoughts and anomalous weaponary, hell-bent on conquest of the Unvierse and The Multiverse.
  • Evil Twin: the Sanctificatio Continentiam Pontificatus Congregatio is Imperium's version of SCP Foundation, with a bit of Church of a Broken God, concerned with finding military and religious use for anomalies. Horizon Inquisition is one for the Horizon Initiative foreshadowing that Initiative is suspectible to Imperium's indoctrination.
    • Inverted with Chaos Aposthasy, which is a good version of Chaos Insurgency.
  • Expendable Alternate Universe: Throwaway timelines, which are bound to collapse back into another timeline, are eligible by Multiversal Church of the Second Hytoth to Amata procedure, that seems to be changing the virus to be rooted into Buddhism instead.
  • Expy: Sacrum Humanum Imperium is a rather blatant expy of the Imperium of Man, with the Sanctificatio Continentiam Pontificatus Congregatio and Horison Inquisition serving as its counterparts to Adeptus Mechanicus and the Inquisition respectively. It is even mentioned their leader titled himself "Pope Emperor of Mankind".
  • Fling a Light into the Future: Multiversal Church of Second Hytoth's most successful way of stopping the Imperium, the Chaos Gambit, is to send its agents, disguised as fake defectors from the Imperium, to warn the Foundation, GOC and Horizon Initiative of the timeline the Imperium is targeting.
  • Galactic Conqueror: The Imperium will initially try to conquer its own galaxy, usually being unopposed until The Church of Second Hytoth will form coalition of alien species against them, prompting them to change the scope of their crusade.
  • God-Emperor: Averted. Leader of the Imperium uses the title "Pope Emperor of Mankind".
  • God Is Evil: The ending implies that the virus is Christian God, trying to bring all of creation back into his control.
  • In Spite of a Nail: Procedure Amata is supposed to change Imperium to be Buddhist, instead of Catholic, slightly increasing chances of it being repelled in a throwaway timelines...and seemingly doing nothing to deter it in base timeline.
  • Multiversal Conqueror: When faced with opposition to its conquest of the galaxy, the Imperium tries to look into alternate universes to conquer. This is also the nature of the virus, which spreads by infecting timelines and rewriting them to lead to the creation of the Imperium.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Implementing of procedure Amata in non-throwaway timeline seems to have erased Multiversal Church of the Second Hytoth, which was opposing the virus' spread, while not helping to stop the Imperium in any meaningful way.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Imperium puts Foundation Earth on a trial, acussing it of sins of "paganism, atheism and sodomy", among other things.
  • Xanatos Gambit: The virus' spread cycle usually involves Catholics among the Horizon Initiative of the targeted timeline succumbing to it, resulting in them either conquering the Earth and turning it into another version of the Imperium, or being defeated at great cost by Foundation and COC, leaving them too weak to oppose attack and conquest by Imperium from another timeline.

SCP-7555 - ATHAZAGORAPHOBIA

When a meteor containing a wormhole to a strange extradimensional space lands in West Virginia and an entire town's inhabitants mysteriously disappear, the Foundation discovers OBJECT 5: an unfathomably large organism that can alter memories and warp the fabric of space and time. But it soon becomes clear that certain arms of the Foundation have ulterior motives for OBJECT 5, ones that place the continued existence of humanity in jeopardy — and that this all may have happened before.
Or: what if SCP-5000 took place after the events of There Is No Antimemetics Division?
  • Ambiguous Ending: PROTOCOL FOUNDATION is underway — though it's unclear whether this entails the same thing as the Foundation's extermination campaign in SCP-5000 — and the mysterious Metamemetics Division is plotting to let SCP-3125 loose upon humanity. Quentin is unconscious in their custody, and her ultimate fate is left uncertain, with the Metamemetics Division's final brief musing on whether to kill her or "cure" and then hire her.
  • Amnesiac Dissonance: OBJECT 5 doesn't remember what it is or what it was made for, but in its first few interview logs it addresses the Foundation warmly and seems to want to help humanity. Then it realizes it's SCP-3125, and things go downhill from there.
  • Canon Character All Along: OBJECT 5 (and by extension SCP-7555) is the physical manifestation of SCP-3125.
  • Canon Welding: SCP-5000 and There Is No Antimemetics Division, respectively.
  • Cosmic Retcon: Played with. SCP-7555 takes place in the aftermath of at least two cosmic retcons: whatever happened to make humanity collectively forget the events of Five Five Five Five Five, and the "reality reset" at the end of SCP-5000. But these retcons didn't fully work as intended. A series of continuity nods implies that several characters remember the events of the former continuity. And as for the latter... as in the original SCP-5000 article, Pietro Wilson's harness was excluded from the reality reset, which means the Foundation has found his records — and they're not happy about it.
  • History Repeats:
    • This isn't the first time — or even the first time in the past five years — that the Foundation has discovered the Entity and promptly declared war on the human race (just ask Pietro Wilson) or that SCP-3125 has been let loose upon humanity (just ask the Wheelers). Lampshaded by the article itself:
    NOTE: Recurring narremes.
    • It is also not the first time SCP-3125 lost its memory and became a nicer person through Amnesiac Dissonance, as another version of it once became a universe's SCP-2316. As this article proves, that world's Foundation is incredibly lucky 2316 (evil as it still is) doesn't care enough about its own memories to try and restore them.
  • Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: There's a lot going on here, with Technobabble and Mind Screw galore — and to make sense of it all, you also need to understand the two other equally Mind Screw-y works it's based on.
  • Unconventional Formatting: Much of the story is told through hidden text: invisible text between lines and in the sidebar, "antimemetically" clouded-over text you need to copy and paste to read, Morse code...
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: In the Foundation's eyes, infecting all of humanity with SCP-3125 is a better outcome than leaving the Entity alive.
  • Wham Line:
    • In the leadup to Quentin's final conversation with OBJECT 5:
      Security forces were alerted, as per safety protocols. However, due to the Foundation-wide preparation for internal implementation of PROTOCOL FOUNDATION, none responded to the incident.
    • And one near the end of the piece that makes clear exactly what timeline this is happening in:
      Crius.aic: Do you hear it too? Her song … she sings it all the time — just out of my reach. The WILD LIGHT calls out to us from transcendence. Why don't we step outside and go look — together?

SCP-7599 - Lunacy

SCP-7599 was an extraterrestrial biological mass that landed at the exact midway point between Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City Missouri before hatching into 1300-1600 instances of SCP-7599-1, which are a hivemind of vaguely cephalopod aliens with a white coloration and beady black eyes. SCP-7599-1 describe themselves as the Monsters from the Moon and used their Nigh-Invulnerable nature and combat abilities to quickly take over the Kansas City areas. However their 'tyranny' isn't as horrible as SCP-7599-1 thought it would be.
  • Alien Arts Are Appreciated: Several SCP-7599-1 instances ransack the major retail stores of Kansas City and steal all their Funko Pops.
    SCP-7599-1: These totems… they hold a mystery I can not understand.
    SCP-7599-1: It is their eyes. They are black. Unknowing. Yet, universal.
    SCP-7599-1: Wheoever made these… they are masters of their craft. I hope our conquest leads an artisan with half the skill honoring us in a way similar to these effigies.
  • Benevolent Alien Invasion: Amusingly unintentional. The idea of 'tyranny' to SCP-7599-1 includes such 'horrible' things such as forcing everyone to work 4 hours a day, having to pay $200 a month for rent, and having to sleep 9 hours a day. Naturally SCP-7599-1 are confused why humanity starts cheering this news.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: SCP-7599-1's perceptions on certain things like tyranny and art are...different from humans to say the least. Proposing laws that are very worker friendly and thinking Funko Pops are the highest form of art.
  • Call-Back: In order to deal with this threat the Foundation enlists the help of SCP-1233 aka the "Moon Champion" who apparently has experience dealing with Moon Monsters.
  • Nigh-Invulnerable: Instances of SCP-7599-1 are essentially immune to practically all forms of damage. This is up to and including laser based weaponry, an orbital railgun, and thaumaturgy. Though they do still have a weakness as revealed below.
  • Unknown Rival: Despite being the supposed mortal enemies of SCP-1233, SCP-7599-1 has no recognition of the former when they finally meet.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Turns out all instances of SCP-7599-1 instantly die just by having one of them punched. The Foundation Agents charged with containing SCP-7599-1 are astounded by the fact they never tried such a thing and that worked.

    7600- 7699 

SCP-7606 - The Invincible, Undefeated One

SCP-7606 is perhaps the greatest threat the Foundation has ever faced: a hostile deific entity with impossible knowledge of thaumaturgy, unmatched combat skills, total invincibility, and complete control over the concepts of fire, darkness, and death, SCP-7606 cannot be stopped, only delayed... and after time immemorial spent asleep, it is awake.
  • Achievements in Ignorance: It's finally stopped by a pissed, stoned Florida Man who was too intoxicated to be terrified into surrendering and didn't know enough about the paranormal not to open fire on an obvious threat. Suffice it to say that the Foundation is distinctly bemused in the after-action report.
  • Badass Boast: Introduces itself with a particularly impressive telepathic boast when it manifests in our reality. As it turns out, boasts are all it has.
    HARK INSECTS, HEED MY WORDS;
    MY NAME IS CONQUEST,
    MY NAME IS DESOLATION,
    MY NAME IS DAV’VAHID MAEKALAH STRYGWYR.
    THOU HAST FESTERED WITHIN MY DOMAIN LONG ENOUGH.
    FOR TIME UNBEKNOWNST TO MAN I HAVE LAID IN SLUMBER;
    I AWAKEN ONCE AGAIN TO FIND PARASITES SULLYING THE LAND ONCE CALLED MINE.
    LAY DOWN THINE ARMS AND THOU DEATHS SHALL BE SWIFT.
    SUBMIT YE SERVICE AND THOU LIVES SHALL BE FILLED WITH PURPOSE ANEW.
  • Eldritch Abomination: An invincible Lovecraftian being inextricably tied to fire, darkness, and death, so terrifying that it's not even described within the article. Turns out that's because it's just a human sorcerer playing around with memetic magic.
  • Epic Fail: Not only is it not an unstoppable eldritch being, but its "reign of terror" is abruptly cut short when a crusty old drunk sees it, panics, and shoots it three times - killing it instantly.
  • God Guise: Not actually a deific entity, just a sorcerer using a powerful memetic ritual to disguise itself as such.
  • Insanity Immunity: As it turns out, people who are intoxicated on alcohol or drugs are immune to the worst effects of 7606's memetic influence - hence why it's finally brought down by a lone drunk with a handgun.
  • Invincible Villain: So utterly powerful that the Foundation have no hope of stopping him and can only try and delay him for as long as possible. Except not: his only power is making people think he's invincible and he ends up getting shot to death by a drunk Florida man.
  • Losing a Shoe in the Struggle: To add to the embarrassment of being gunned down by a random Florida Man, 7606 lost a shoe in his collapse, making him look even sillier in the process.
  • Lovecraft Lite: Despite possessing all the boasts and trappings of a Lovecraftian horror, not to mention some of the bigger threats from the SCP Foundation's early days, SCP-7606 is easily taken down by a single bullet to the head - whereupon it turns out that it's not even remotely Lovecraftian anyway.
  • The Man Behind the Curtain: As it turns out, the man behind the apparently unstoppable eldritch abomination was a twenty-two-year-old sorcerer in beach shorts and no shirt, with no real powers other than the memetic ritual he was using to fool people into perceiving him as a god... and this is only discovered after a shitfaced Florida Man has shot him dead.
  • Only in Florida: Two agents caught in 7606's warpath quietly bemoan the fact that the eldritch apocalypse just had to happen in Miami. Ironically, the classic Florida Man ends up being the one to kill the monster.
  • Paper Tiger: SCP-7606's memetic ritual allowed it to frighten everyone around him into fleeing or submitting to the perceived horror surrounding it... but it had no power to affect the intoxicated - or defend itself from them, resulting in its embarrassing death.
  • Parody Sue: It's essentially a parody of the bog-standard unstoppable Eldritch Abomination featured across the Foundation's history - with the twist that the real SCP-7606 is just a 20-something jackass with no real power and an embarrassing vulnerability to getting shot dead by a pissed Florida Man.
  • Supernatural Fear Inducer: This is the only real power it possesses, a memetic ability that forces anyone viewing it or mentioning it to perceive 7606 as an unstoppable godlike abomination. Unfortunately for 7606, it doesn't effectively work on people who are drunk or high.
  • Tom the Dark Lord: The supposed Eldritch Abomination's real name is David Micheal Smith, another indication of just how unimpressive he really is.
  • Undignified Death: Shot dead by a Florida drunk armed with a pistol he'd previously stashed in his underwear. To add insult to injury, the corpse is photographed in the Stock Family Guy Death Pose.

    7700- 7799 

SCP-7776 - The Un-Well

SCP-7776 is a water well hidden in an isolated medieval village somewhere in the Carpathian mountains acting as a link to an extra-dimensional space home to a malevolent entity known as the "Dreaded one", and it wants in. Only the rituals granted by visions experienced by those who have seen the well can hope to prevent its entry into our world. With local reality stretched thin and prone to plagues of rats, the Foundation is forced to adopt unusual measures in the area.
  • Another Dimension: It's never explicitly explained just what sort of place SCP-7776 leads to, but it's hostile, breaks the laws of physics, and acts as as a potent Brown Note to those glimpsing it.
  • Apocalyptic Log: A series of letters written by medieval knights occupying the town housing SCP-7776 are found, detailing their attempts to destroy the well, transitioning into simply hiding it from the world until such a time it could be destroyed.
  • Banishing Ritual: The key component of SCP-7776's containment. Each day those who have seen the well are granted visions detailing the specific ritual required to keep the hostile entity within sealed within the well. No two rituals are the same, but are universally designed to be as difficult, harmful and taxing as possible, with the nastier rituals requiring the use of all available resources or influence available to the people or organizations performing them.
  • Body Horror: A very common side effect of the rituals performed to contain the entity, causing people to fuse together, grow additional eyes, or be reduced to a still living head or worse. These issues become far worse as the entities dimension seeps into the world between the performing of rituals.
  • Closed Circle: Anyone seeing the well is forced to remain within the village and Foundation Site, with no contact with the outside world allowed, to restrict the anomaly's influence.
  • Conditioned to Accept Horror: The mindset of the long term inhabitants of the village housing SCP-7776. Having lived around such horrific rituals, under the eye of the entity within the well for their entire lives, the villagers are simply numb to horror, accepting it as a necessity of their lives akin to sowing crops or maintaining their homes. Overlaps with I Did What I Had to Do.
  • Devoured by the Horde: The fate of those caught by the swarms of rats attracted to the area by SCP-7776.
  • Eldritch Abomination: The entity dwelling within the well, only referred to as "the dreaded one" by the villages inhabitants. It is described as colossal, vaguely serpentine and possessing numerous limbs, but is not seen in detail.
  • Eldritch Location: The space which SCP-7776 links to. Only having vague similarities with the local geography, the space is described as stormy, illuminated by flashes of brown lightning, with gravity's effect being reversed on liquids. This applies to the village and landscape surrounding SCP-7776 as well. As time between rituals grows, thin spots between the dimensions form, causing blood rain, spacial shifts fusing people with geography, Sanity Slippage, Eldritch Transformations in the regions inhabitants, Meat Moss and huge swarms of rats to flock to the area.
  • Fate Worse than Death: Those who enter the well are implied to pass over to the Dreaded Ones realm, and if the rituals are any sign of its nature, they will not enjoy their stay.
  • The Grotesque: Long term inhabitants of the village housing SCP-7776 become this as a result of inbreeding and the long term genetic effects resultant of living close to the well. Huge size, abnormally long and numerous limbs, albinism and other mutations such as low grade reality warping abilities are common, but the villagers main goal is to ensure the Dreaded One does not enter the world.
  • Haunted Castle: The medieval fortified village housing SCP-7776 has this as its vibe. Built to keep people out, it nonetheless suffers the side effects of its proximity to such a thin spot in reality.
  • Human Sacrifice: A common theme in the rituals to keep the Dreaded one contained within the well. Sometimes overlaps with Hunting the Most Dangerous Game and Offing the Offspring.
  • Leaking Can of Evil: The Dreaded One is unable to enter our world through SCP-7776 unless numerous rituals are not performed, but the effects of its presence can still be felt withing the area.
  • Mind Virus: Those seeing or even learning too much about SCP-7776 will fall under its effects, experiencing visions of the rituals required to maintain its containment, along with being struck with an innate terror of the object, and by extension the Dreaded One.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Twice. Both the Vatican knights and the Foundation initially assumed the anomalous effects in the area to be a result of the locals’ ritual activity around the well, and promptly put a stop to any rituals. This very nearly led to a failure of containment, causing a massive breakdown in local reality and very nearly allowing the Dreaded One to enter our world.
  • No-Sell: Unlike many other cognitohazards, applications of amnestics utterly fail to release an individual from the effect of SCP-7776.
  • Renegade Splinter Faction: What the branch of the Foundation containing SCP-7776 were forced to become, as a way of limiting the reach of the anomaly's effects.
  • Religion of Evil: What the Foundation initially believed to be the cause of SCP-7776's effects, as a result of the suspicious behavior and nature of the areas locals. They were wrong.
  • Swarm of Rats: A common consequence of too much time passing between rituals, millions of unnaturally hostile rats will surround the village, stripping anyone unlucky enough to encounter them to the bone.
  • Town with a Dark Secret: The unnamed village housing SCP-7776. Unmarked on maps and extremely remote, the towns inhabitants will drive anyone who comes too close away to spare them coming under SCP-7776's influence.
  • You Can't Go Home Again: Anyone falling under the effect of SCP-7776 is forced to remain in the village/Site surrounding the well to aid in its containment, or are killed. Either way, there is no returning home.

SCP-7777 - Heptaphobia

SCP-7777 is a probabilistic anomaly that causes random number generations to reduce their outputs to 7s and 0s. The Foundation soon discovers that it is a Cipher Language for ASCII, with every SCP-7777 event producing a coherent message that exposes someone in their ranks for an undisclosed crime.
  • Ambiguously Evil: It's left unclear at the end if Liaison Marinos is the Token Good Teammate of the Ethics Committee, or is The Mole feeding them the intel they need to construct The Conspiracy.
  • Bittersweet Ending: The Ethics Committee succeeds in taking over the Foundation. However, RAISA busts open their conspiracy, and has a plan ready to save the day when the time comes.
  • Cerebus Retcon: SCP-6469 is a humorous article about an entity that takes the form of a human infant and teleports around to prophesize and cause disasters, only to be stopped when Director Calvin Bold accidentally punts the baby into a wall. SCP-7777 sours its comedy by saying 6469 doesn't exist, Bold accidentally killed a real baby, and Dr. Cimmerian covered it up for him with 6469's entry and embezzled funds.
  • The Conspiracy: The Ethics Committee is staffed by insane Knight Templars who took advantage of the non-existent SCP-7777 to assume direct control of the Foundation. The only reason 7777's creators make it look extra convincing is because the Committee doesn't actually care about their mission.
  • Eviler than Thou: The Ethics Committee stops the Site-17 Deepwell Catalogue canon before it starts, presumably aided by the absence of SCP-4755, and "overthrows" the O5 Council. RAISA currently believes their actual goal is to become someone worse than the evils of both.
  • Evil vs. Evil: SCP-7777 accidentally uncovers a war between the Overseers and the Ethics Committee. Neither side is exactly a saint, and the Committee appears to be the worst part of it all.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Maria Jones strongly implies in the ending that the contingency to uproot The Conspiracy of the Ethics Committee will involve getting the Committee to expose themselves through carefully-crafted SCP-7777 instances, given that she calls the hoax a "weighted seven-sided die."
  • The Killjoy: Way to ruin a celebration by manifesting another callout in the party's raffle tickets. Doubly so since it's not anomalous and was a fake instance of an already-fake anomaly to perform a Frame-Up, meaning Roger Radcliff really had it out that day.
  • Make It Look Like an Accident: So you've got a lot of dirt on Foundation staff that conveniently doesn't seem to get investigated. Unbeknownst to you, it's because the people who should be handling that stuff don't give a crap and are plotting to take over the organization. So how do you spread all of your secrets? Make up a probabilistic anomaly and pin all the blame on it instead.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Site-17's director is arrested, preventing at least some of the crap that goes down in its own canon. Unfortunately, the Ethics Committee is all too eager to fill in that vacuum.

SPHERE - ⬤

SCP-7793 — sorry, SPHERE is a giant stone sphere the Foundation uncovered on an archaelogical dig. Then everything went wrong.

Just philosphical dare consult she SPHERE.


  • Allegorical Character: The author's notes indicate SPHERE and the reader represent change in life and the inability to adapt to it, respectively. Even though SPHERE is Apollyon-class and has irreversibly changed the English language, it appears life has gone on as normal for most humans, sans what might be a Cargo Cult surrounding SPHERE and SPHERE itself barrelling towards anyone that hasn't been affected. The reader and the tapes' author are among those unaffected, and they're desperately clinging to their memories of what used to be. However, the author's notes suggest they are meant to be wrong for doing so, as part of the message contained within it is that even though things change, and you may be left behind, you hurt yourself more than anyone else trying to hold it back when you can't.
  • Cargo Cult: There's an errant mention of a ritual celebration for SPHERE, and one of the addendums has a couple of Foundation staff gibbering nonsense praising it.
  • Growing Up Sucks: According to the author's notes, SPHERE's effects are an allegory for this trope, realizing that things change as you get older and you can't go back.
  • Madness Mantra: "Just philosophical dare consult she SPHERE" is uttered repeatedly in SPHERE's presence.
  • Word-Salad Horror: SPHERE initiated a reality restructuring event that switched the meaning of every word in the English language, meaning - for example - "Special Containment Procedures" becomes "Cyclical Corrugation Regenerator." The few humans left unaffected have naturally lost it now that they can't understand anything anymore.

SCP-7795 - Ð is for Ðirteen

SCP-7795 is a twelve-year-old named Mia ██████. On October 24th, SCP-7795's thirteenth birthday, they undergo SCP-7795-A, an event where they are killed and then resurrected the next day, de-aging one year. These are designated by the Foundation as 7795-RES Events.
  • And I Must Scream: SCP-7795 is subjected to a 7795-RES Event every year, and remembers everything from the previous year.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Heavily on the bitter side. After SCP-7795 is rendered comatose and has to be killed by Researcher Larson to stop Site-37 from being nuked, they are sent and subsequently abandoned in a non-dimension, resulting in their Cessation of Existence and their effective termination. However, this means that they cannot be revived by SCP-7795-A anymore, allowing them to finally escape their suffering and be at peace.
  • Blessed with Suck: SCP-7795 in a nutshell. Sure, Mia's practically immortal, but they'll never age beyond twelve, they're doomed to die on their birthday, and they're usually left traumatized by their latest death.
  • Cessation of Existence: Ultimately what the Foundation has to resort to in the final phase of Project Neverland, as SCP-7795 being in a non-dimension would allow their expiration to be indeterminant and prevent SCP-7795-A from occurring.
  • Cosmic Plaything: Mia is essentially this to SCP-7795-A, which seems to turn even the safest and most innocuous situation into their next cause of death - and seems to be actively countering the Foundation's best efforts to save them. This eventually results in Site 37's nuclear warhead being triggered while Mia's in the facility, forcing Researcher Larsen to shoot Mia just so a nuclear detonation won't be necessary to kill them.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Researcher Rebecca Larsen grows increasingly desperate to save Mia from any further torment as their time together continues. As such, being forced to kill Mia herself to save the lives of everyone in Site 37 pretty much breaks her spirit, to the point that her only response to it is a completely flat remark of "I have nothing left to say."
  • Driven to Suicide: Mia attempts to end their own life more than once, first via drug overdose and then by gunshot to the head (courtesy of a firearm stolen from one of the guards). Attempts to interrupt these suicide attempts rarely end well.
  • Hope Spot: One way the Foundation attempts to help SCP-7795 mentally is to euthanize them every year in the early hours of October 24th starting in 2010, and this actually works in helping improve their mental health. Then, in 2017, the procedure fails and they're left worse off than they were once the procedure began.
  • Loophole Abuse: The Foundation attempts to do this with Project Neverland, using temporal stasis to neutralize SCP-7795-A. The first three phases fail, leading the Foundation to abandon SCP-7795 in a non-dimension, which works at the cost of their life.
  • Resurrective Immortality: Regardless of what kills Mia, they'll just come back to life... with the rather unfortunate twist that they're guaranteed to die on their birthday - no matter how safe things are.
  • Sanity Slippage: The endless loop of death and resurrection is very hard on Mia's composure. They frequently suffer aversions to anything connected to their most recent cause of death, and once the loop results in collateral damage, their condition is worsened by crippling guilt. Over time, they exhibit chronic depression, suicidal tendencies, mutism, psychological regression, and virtual catatonia - until they simply retreat from consciousness altogether.
  • Sleepy Depressive: In the latter stages of their depression, Mia's sleeptime averages ten hours at the very least.

    7800- 7899 

SCP-7819 — no vacancy

SCP-7819 are manifestation fo an anomalous hotel/motel chain — the "Rest-Eazy Inn" — that only appear under specific circumstances. The Foundation provides carefully laid out instructions for anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves experiencing it.
  • Bizarrchitecture: In every encounter with SCP-7819, the people who've traversed it describe it as a Hotel that wasn't made for human habitation. Hallways that stretch and bend in ways no real hotel would, swimming pools built in bizarre shapes, rooms full of furniture, etc.
  • Eldritch Location: SCP-7819 are an anomalous chain of hotels/motels that only appear to certain people under specific circumstances — one of them being under the Foundation's employ — and are required to act out a series of instructions specific to each form the manifestations take if they want any hope of leaving.
  • Nothing Is Scarier: A lot of the article gives clear and concise instructions on how to traverse the location(s), a lot of it involving doing specific actions when encountering specific Ambiguously Human entities, hiding under desks or blockading doorways. However, it doesn't give any clues as to what would happen if these instructions aren't followed.
    If you've followed these instructions, you will exit with no issue. If you haven't, we do not blame you for staying.

SCP-7840 — U Is For The Unstrung

SCP-7840 is Gizem, a sentient marionette desperate to become a real boy.
  • Ax-Crazy: Gizem has no idea what he has to do for the Azure Pixie to make him a real boy. So he settles on violently murdering people.
  • Become a Real Boy: His entire life goal is to become a real boy; unfortunately, he was never told how he might achieve that, and he has nothing to go off.

SCP-7898 — W is for Walls

SCP-7898 is a species of parasitic Giant Spider that can photosynthesize. They parasitize and take shelter in human heads, which they need to rip off to travel the outside world and find new victims with.

Though a plenty-dangerous anomaly, there are numerous hints that they roam a world so utterly ruined it makes their lives look harmless and desperate.
  • After the End: These things are considered normal by the Foundation's standards by the time they start appearing, with the implication that the article is set in a total wasteland instead of a modern setting. The following details are all casually mentioned as if it has always been this way:
  • Backstory Horror: The spiders aren't the real threat in the article. In fact, they're not even a threat at all. That title goes to whatever the hell happened to make them look like adorable jumping spiders by comparison, which is only hinted at through article footnotes.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: They eat humans and look utterly terrifying, but the world outside is equally ruined. At the end of the day, they're just animals who want to live to see tomorrow like the remains of humanity they hunt. Which is the real horror of the article.
  • No Party Like a Donner Party: The world seems to have resorted to cannibalism in the wasteland, as the Foundation has to differentiate between edible and inedible corpses. This is also probably part of the reason why SCP-7898 is considered harmless, since a race of man-eating creatures would likely be seen as more "human" if the human race itself had to do the same.
  • Off with His Head!: When an SCP-7898 instance reaches maturity, it forces its victim to drive their head into a wall. After this, it brings out its legs to pry off the victim's head and runs off to somewhere else in the building with it.

    7900- 7999 

SCP-7933 — X is for Xing

SCP-7933 is a narrative contagion that alters stories so that the characters are all killed by mandrills. When affected videos are replayed, the original video is replaced with 4,920 mandrills walking from the left side of the screen to the right. If left uncontained, it will lead to human creativity being ruined.
  • Apologetic Attacker: The hidden text reveals that the mandrills are the effect of some sort of "tribe" of mandrills that can only manifest in human media, and which have "very important things to do in the East." The problem is that the human realm of creativity somehow serves as "obstacles" that the tribe quite literally rips apart and tramples underfoot to get to their destination; the tribe's sage is the only one who understands what is being destroyed, and deeply regrets it, but asserts that it is neither the fault of the mandrills nor the humans that the "hairless monkeys" kept "dropping their treasures" in their path.
  • Black Comedy: Though SCP-7933 and what it means for humanity isn't exactly funny, what is funny is the mandrills and how the affected stories react to them.
  • Despair Event Horizon: The Foundation has already gone through one courtesy of SCP-7933 reaching the threshold containment ratio.
  • Never My Fault: Hidden text within the article reveals that the sage of the mandrill tribe believes that it's not the mandrills' fault that the hairless monkeys left their treasures in the mandrills' path. Then again, he also says it wasn’t the humans’ fault either.
    But all the same, it's no fault of ours, either.
  • Tempting Fate: The Administrator, in an attempt to boost Foundation morale following the threshold-meeting event, attempts to reassure Foundation staff that everything will be alright, along with the creation of another contingency to-what is that howling? The Administrator then has to rewrite his message to prevent it from being affected by the mandrills.

SCP-7949 — The Calamity Tourist

SCP-7949 is a seemingly ordinary human male by the name of Steven Phanal, a resident of Graycott, Arkansas. Though he possesses reality-warping abilities, these only manifest once he leaves Graycott, and commonly manifest as a wide range of destructive incidents, including terrorist attacks, natural disasters, infrastructure failures, and just about anything else liable to cause widespread loss of human life. For good measure, SCP-7949 has no idea that he's causing any of this. As such, he's contained within the city limits of Graycott and not allowed to leave for any reason.
  • Bittersweet Ending: By the end of the article, SCP-7949 still has no control of his powers and still can't leave his prison, but the Foundation has given him permission to refurbish Graycott, resulting in a huge community event that revitalizes the town and SCP-7949 is much happier for it.
  • Captain Oblivious: 7949 is utterly clueless to the carnage his presence causes, not only failing to notice it but completely misconstruing it as something innocent even if he does notice it - to the point that he believed that the sound of gunfire less than a block from his hotel was just "part of a local tradition."
  • Obliviously Superpowered: Despite a ludicrous number of accidents, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and other catastrophes occurring in every single city he's visited, 7949 remains clueless to both his powers and the violence it induces.
  • Reality Warper: He's classified as a reality warping SCP, but he has no control over his powers and isn't even aware that they exist.
  • Small Town Boredom: The reason why 7949 travels so often is because he finds Graycott incredibly dull, and even after having the nature of his powers made clear to him, he continues his attempts to leave the town because he finds it so unbearably suffocating.
  • Walking Disaster Area: Whenever 7949 steps outside his hometown, destruction follows him wherever he goes, and the longer he's away from Graycott, the worse it gets. Indeed, the Foundation was able to recognize his anomalous status simply by following the trail of destruction he left in his wake... and soon found that they couldn't even take him to a holding cell without the Site being attacked by the Chaos Insurgency.
  • Walking Wasteland: In a tour of Liberia, 7949's presence ended up killing all the crops and lifestock in the area and leaving the previously fertile soil completely sterile.

SCP-7955 — The Ailing Child Of Proteus

SCP-7955 is a humanoid shapeshifter suffering from a rapidly advancing case of dementia directly tied to his powers: the stronger it gets, the more his mind decays. Thanks to his condition, 7955 cannot remember most of his past, but recalls being a member of a cult known as the Disciples of the Angel Cerridwen, where he was named "Brother Lebbaeus" - though the researcher assigned to study it prefers to call him "Jim."
  • Deconstruction: Of superhuman SCPs with overly cool powers and periods of insanity. Jim's powers are impressive, but they're gradually destroying his mind as they get more powerful, and rather than making him more dangerous to the Foundation, this dementia actually makes him less dangerous - to the point that security is able to recapture him easily whenever he escapes. Far from making him cool and escapist, his power gradually renders him down into a barely-sapient Manchild with no bladder control, then an Empty Shell.
  • Dying as Yourself: Jim experiences a moment of terminal lucidity before he succumbs to dementia, allowing him to briefly regain his personality and his memories, enough to draw up a huge pile of notes that can aid the Foundation in their research. With that done, he says his goodbyes to Dr Magdaleno and dissolves into water.
  • Extreme Doormat: Compliant and obedient with just about everyone, including Foundation staff. Later, he admits this is how he ended up joining a cult in the first place, and firmly believes that even if he left the Disciples, he probably would have ended up joining another one sooner or later.
  • Headache of Doom: Suffers from infrequent painkiller-resistant headaches, apparently a sign that his dementia is getting progressively worse.
  • Human-to-Werewolf Footprints: Variant; after fishermen in Caithness alerted the Foundation to a shapeshifting beasty roaming the beach, agents were able to track him down when they located a set of footprints... each print belonging to a different animal.
  • I Regret Nothing: In his final moments of terminal lucidity, Jim admits that he doesn't regret becoming a shapeshifter in the slightest, as it was the first real decision he'd made: up until then, he'd been such an Extreme Doormat throughout his life that the few weeks of joy and freedom he had as an Inheritor were worth the dementia he suffered.
  • Invisible Introvert:
    • 7955 extremely shy around strangers and generally awkward in social situations, to the point that he spent his first few hours of containment avoiding conversations by turning into inanimate objects. Dr Magdaleno speculates that this might be a possible symptom of dementia, or it could just be 7955's normal personality.
    • It's eventually revealed that his powers stem from an entire race of shapeshifters known as the Children of Proteus, so named because like the mythological Proteus, they prefer to remain solitary outsiders for fear of being discovered by all the horrors in the setting.
  • Moment of Lucidity: Though initially quite coherent despite his memory loss, Jim gradually deteriorates until all that's left of his old personality are a few rare moments of clarity. Tragically, even these are affected by the dementia, with Jim suffering from diminishing returns for every lucid moment until they're barely distinguishable from his usual incoherence.
  • Perpetually Protean: Towards the end of his downward spiral, Jim's powers have increased to the point that he's shapeshifting near-constantly, in part because his mind is so far-gone, he doesn't know how to stop anymore. It's so bad that Dr Magdaleno have given up on even trying to dress him and can only feed the poor bastard by aiming a spoon into one of his many mouths and hoping that he can at least get some nutrition from it.
  • Power at a Price: As Jim's powers increase, his dementia worsens, to the point that some of his most extraordinary feats are achieved while he's too deteriorated to realize what he's doing. In the finale, he finally manages to assume a liquid form... at the very moment his mind shuts down, leaving him as a brain-dead puddle.
  • Sapping the Shapeshifter: In the event that 7955 becomes violent due to his dementia, Foundation staff are able to subdue him by pinning him to the ground with nets or catchpoles, prompting him to wildly shapeshift in a blind panic until he's too exhausted to fight.
  • Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: He doesn't have the power to mimic clothing, so he's constantly growing or shrinking out of his clothes.
  • Shapeshifting Failure: Because of his dementia, 7955 tends to make pretty blatant mistakes while trying to disguise himself: inanimate objects appear to be made of human skin and bone, while human beings are layered in carapace because 7955 still can't mimic clothing.
  • Shapeshifter Longevity: According to 7955, the original Children of Proteus are incredibly long-lived: the one who gave him his powers was "already centuries-old when Ur was built". It's for this reason that Jim points out that his body will live on long after his mind finally succumbs to dementia, jokingly remarking that Dr Magdaleno can still chat with him every now and again - though Jim himself won't be able to respond.
  • Super-Empowering: Jim owes his powers to the cult's Rite of the Shining Brow, a ritual allowing select candidates to share in the power of a captive Child of Proteus... though, of course, the process leaves all "Inheritors" riddled with dementia - hence why none of the cult's elders only made use of it for propaganda purposes and never used it on themselves. In one of his more lucid moments, Jim reveals that the cult elders were using the liquefied bodies of candidates as the ingredients of an "immortality soup."
  • Transformation Exhilaration: According to 7955, "Inheritors" like him find shapeshifting incomparably pleasurable, apparently due to each transformation inducing a surge of endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. Many Inheritors are left idiotically blissful by the process, hence why none of the cultists ever noticed that they were beginning to succumb to dementia - except of course for the elders, who pretended that the Inheritors had achieved childike innocence "like Adam and Eve." Meanwhile, even now that the initial euphoria of his transformations has worn off, Jim still gets warm and fuzzy while shapeshifting.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Naturally. He can transform into any living thing or object, but he can't become liquids or gasses and he can't mimic clothing. Plus, thanks to his dementia, he tends to make a lot of revealing mistakes in his impersonations.

SCP-7962 — Golden Enlightenment

SCP-7962 is a bag of sapient Pepperidge Farm brand Goldfish crackers, all of which are fully capable of speaking and moving independently. The crackers, designated SCP-7962-A, are religiously devoted to "ascending" by immersing themselves in a natural source of water and have been known to enact escape attempts in order to reach a pond.
  • Anthropomorphic Food: They're sapient, animate crackers with the power of speech.
  • Black Comedy: The main crux of the article is essentially a group of animal crackers attempting to commit religious suicide and belatedly realizing what a silly idea it is once one of them actually "achieves" it.
  • Oh, Crap!: Actually witnessing the horrifying results of an SCP-7962-A instance "ascending" is enough to horrify the survivors into abandoning all future escape attempts.
  • Crisis of Faith: Upon realizing that their "ascension" results in an agonizing death, the crackers go very quiet and stop trying to escape to water, indicating they are reconsidering this ascension lark entirely.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Turns out that immersing themselves in water causes instances of SCP-7962-A to dissolve... and given that the crackers are all in possession of fully functional nervous systems, they find the process nothing short of agonizing.
  • Fantastic Nirvana: Their chief spiritual goal is to find a source of naturally occurring water and immerse themselves in it, believing it will cleanse them of all sin and make them one with the water. In reality, it just causes them to dissolve - quite painfully, too.
  • Kill It with Water: The end result of their immersion in water is a painful dissolution.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: Upon witnessing the horrific fate of an "ascending" instance, the rest of SCP-7962 have made the sensible decision not to try any further escape attempts.

SCP-7992 — Is A Gorilla

SCP-7992 is an indestructible shapeshifting gorilla that can assume the form of any mammal - though it prefers to take the form of one of its previous victims, Researcher James Harrison. Having been in captivity since the 1970s, it's believed to be completely immortal as well as indestructible, to the point that the Foundation is struggling to find a method of keeping it contained for the indefinite future as it will outlive all of them.
  • Ambiguous Situation:
    • Is Harrison/7992 really a shapeshifter, or is that just part of the Foundation's cover-up?
    • Did Harrison really do anything wrong, or is he being unjustly imprisoned by a spiteful O5 council?
  • Ambiguously Evil: The article initially makes it appear that 7955 is a standard violent menace on par with SCP-682, and its dialogue makes it clear that it's deriving great satisfaction from watching its captors slowly dying of old age... but then it turns out that it's not a murderous gorilla at all, but the researcher that it supposedly murdered. In the process, it's left uncertain if Harrison ever really did anything wrong, or if the Foundation is just torturing him in an attempt to a) unearth his secrets and b) punish him for disobedience.
  • Bait the Dog: The second-last bit of documentation suggests that it's genuinely remorseful for its crimes, screaming apologies at the top of its lungs until even its handlers wonder if it's being sincere... only for the final interview to reveal that Harrison is unrepentant and gleefully retracts his apology upon seeing how old his old comrades have gotten.
  • Complete Immortality: Unaging, indestructible, without physical needs or hidden weaknesses. In fact, 7992 is so immortal that the Foundation has rejected the idea of keeping it contained on the bottom of an ocean, as the damn thing will still be alive and kicking when the oceans evaporate in a billion years.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Killed James Harrison by ripping all his limbs off and decapitating him, apparently while all still alive. However, it's revealed that 7992 is Harrison, and it remains ambiguous as to whether his method of achieving immortality involved him butchering his original body or the Foundation made the whole thing up to prevent anyone from figuring out Harrison's success.
  • The Ending Changes Everything: The final interview reveals that a sizable chunk of the article is an outright lie, and only 7992's immortality is real. Everything else is just a means of keeping James Harrison incarcerated while the Foundation try to figure out how he made himself immortal.
  • Evil Gloating: Openly mocks its interrogators over the fact that they've grown old over the last thirty years while it remains unchanging and undying. Of course, just how evil Harrison really is has been left ambiguous, for though he definitely went rogue, it's not known if he's really done anything morally wrong.
  • Immortality Seeker: Researcher Harrison was originally part of the Foundation's biogerontology division and is revealed to have made himself an immortal willingly. Since nobody can figure out how he managed this, the main reason for his containment is to force him to reveal his method - and as a presumed punishment for going rogue.
  • Immune to Drugs: 7992 is immune to sedatives that need to be inhaled or ingested. The only reason why intravenous sedatives haven't been tested is because nothing can penetrate 7992's dermis.
  • Jerkass: Appears to have made himself immortal purely so he'll outlive his colleagues, or at the very least is refusing to reveal his secret so he'll remain in containment and will get to see his colleagues getting older.
  • Killer Gorilla: A murderous shapeshifting silverback gorilla infamous for mutilating and killing an innocent man. Except the gorilla form, if it even exists, is another disguise and 7992's true form is that of James Harrison. Plus, he might not even be as bad as initially indicated.
  • Living Forever Is Awesome: James Harrison turns out to be immensely proud of his status as an immortal, openly gloats at seeing his former colleague having aged so much since their last conversation, and in the finale of the article, exalts at the fact that he'll always be alive.
  • The Needless: It doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep whatsoever. Hypothetically, it could be contained on the bottom of the sea without harming it, but that would just give 7992 an easy means of escaping when the seas finally dry up.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Completely impervious to all damage, the only reason why 7992 isn't on the same threat level as SCP-682 is because the gorilla only has the strength level of its default form and can't actually adapt to counteract threats - hence why it's still in containment at present.
  • Omniglot: It technically doesn't have a language of its own but speaks in a form of glossolalia that has a memetic effect on the brain of the observer, encouraging them to perceive 7992's vocalizations as coherent speech regardless of the language they speak - in the case of the researchers around it, English. As such, its attempts at communication aren't real, but just attempts to disorient its prey. This is a lie: James Harrison can speak perfectly coherent English, and the claim of memetic glossolalia was cooked up to prevent anyone from realizing that 7992 used to be human.
  • Power Nullifier: 7992's cell is fitted with a Scranton Reality Anchor to prevent him from using his shapeshifting powers to escape. It's not made certain if 7992 really is a shapeshifter, so it's not clear if the SRA is being used for its intended purpose or it's just a prop to disguise Harrison's true nature.
  • That Man Is Dead: Played with. The Foundation makes it abundantly clear that the SCP-7992 is only wearing Researcher Harrison's form by putting up a sign next to his cell that reads, "SCP-7992 IS NOT HUMAN. SCP-7992 IS A GORILLA. RESEARCHER HARRISON IS DEAD". This is actually a lie: SCP-7992 really is Researcher Harrison, just empowered by unknown means and having betrayed the Foundation to such a degree that he's no longer considered deserving of his true identity.
  • Shapeshifter Default Form: Its true form is an adult silverback gorilla, though its preferred form is the long-dead Researcher James Harrison. This is because it actually is James Harrison. For good measure, as it's never observed as a gorilla in the attached documentation, it's hinted that the shapeshifting powers were invented by the Foundation to prevent anyone from realizing Harrison's true nature.
  • Shapeshifter Longevity: An immortal shapeshifter with the ability to become any mammalian creature in the animal kingdom, it's shown no signs of aging in the last few decades and will likely outlive all security measures. However, it's eventually revealed that 7992 is actually Researcher Harrison, drawing the "shapeshifting" side of the equation into question.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Can apparently become any species of mammal in existence, including human beings. This is just the Foundation's method of hiding the fact that Researcher Harrison went rogue.

SCP-7999 — Meet Me In The Stars

SCP-7999 are the Keradids, a race of insectoid aliens who arrive through a mysterious wormhole to interact with humanity.
  • Dying Race: As revealed when Sias visits Nest, the Keradids were wiped out by something called "The Event". Only 8 remain, and their eggs refuse to hatch.
  • Innocent Aliens: The Keradids express a child like wonder at humanity and their culture and show zero ill will towards them. Carteckan's uncomfortableness when his human guide mentions war though implies though that they weren't always like this.
  • Insectoid Aliens: 3 foot tall winged mantises, basically.
  • Long-Lived: Keradids live a long, long time. Carteckan is 1743 years old, and that's apparently "Very young" for his species.
  • "Ray of Hope" Ending: At the end of the article while Carteckan is finishing his painting he hears what sounds like the sound of cracking in the distance. Implying that the Keradids eggs are finally hatching.
