Team: "And This Is Fine" Doomsday Contest

World list

Baseline (Aka Earth Tigris)

  • Treat as like reality unless otherwise noted to start off with.
  • Home to most of the mainlist SCPs.
  • Go with bog-standard Foundation here, examine how they react to the crisis on an institutional and an individual level.

Reimagined Earth (Aka Earth Euphrates)

  • Probably the closest to baseline, conceptually, of the other three earths.
  • The whole thing runs on Reimagining Contest logic.
  • I think we should have a Foundation here, too, as a familiar framework.
  • Has 'narrative divergence' with baseline rather than just an alternate history.

Antimountain Earth (Aka Earth Lethe)

  • Mountains. Mountains everywhere.
  • The 'humans' there can't forget anything ever.
  • The black bloby things might be immoral information ghosts.
  • Whole thing is antimemetic.
  • Maybe as the temporal mixing grows, people become resistant to the antimemetic effect?
  • The most alien of the worlds.
  • What happens when antimemes go back in time?
  • What happens to culture when everything is remembered? Everything.

Dr. Khayyam's Proposal: We Are All Just Trying To Be Holy

Item #: SCP-001

Object Class: None

Standing Containment Procedures: Until SCP-001's completion, Foundation personnel are required to follow the organisation-wide program of atonement devised by the Ethics Committee. If intelligence suggests SCP-001 will not reach completion in time, Foundation personnel are required to convert to a religion whose theology:

  • does not involve an entity currently in containment
  • allows for universal redemption
  • preserves the consciousnesses of its followers after death

in order to minimise the damnations caused by the leaders of the Foundation and increase the probability of their successful redemption.

Description: SCP-001 is the provisional designation for the afterlife currently under construction by the Foundation in preparation for the imminent judgement of humanity.

Addendum SCP-001-Aleph [Mulhausen Morality Paper]: In 1983, Dr. Salvador Mulhausen completed the first mathematically rigorous definition of an afterlife, building on the theoretical foundation established with the Akiva measurement system.

Addendum SCP-001-Beth [Godhead Construction]:

Addendum SCP-001-Gimmel [Previous Attempts at Motivated Afterlife Creation]:

{Mention the Anti-Earth, signs that creating the afterlife ends up retroactively creating the judgement day effect?}

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]

Description: SCP-XXXX takes the form of an incorporeal terrestrial planet in geosynchronous orbit around Earth, located approximately one meter above Mt. Everest. SCP-XXXX is heavily antimemetically cloaked, and observation and recollection of SCP-XXXX is impossible without at least Class W mnestics. The positioning of SCP-XXXX remains fixed relative to the earth, but presents cycles in illumination that would indicate that it has a rotational period of ~25 hours. SCP-XXXX is geographically distinct from Earth, with landmasses being nearly entirely mountainous, and oceans covering ~82% of the planet's surface.

Following the discovery of SCP-XXXX's physical coordinates via a Multi-Universal Transport Array (MUTA), Antimemetics division scientists have managed to collect data on the surface of SCP-XXXX itself.

In addition to a variety of flora and fauna, SCP-XXXX is is inhabited by two sapient species, labelled SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B respectively.

SCP-XXXX-A is a species similar to baseline humanity, with marked differences. SCP-XXXX-A possesses a hormonal gland located adjacent to the pineal gland which produces a natural equivalent of Class Z mnestics. Instances also possess a complex series of secondary mutation to the nervous system and kidneys to deal with the increased toxins in the body and the physical inability to forget information. It is believed that this has also lead to the development of a different psychological framework in SCP-XXXX-A than in humans, granting a resistance to hostile memetic infection.

SCP-XXXX-B are {have taffeta write stuff about the black blobby things here}

SCP-XXXX is affected by a similar anomaly which leads to the image of Earth being projected in geosynchronous orbit around SCP-XXXX.

UIU Report

Electronic copy below as per Federal Records Act

UIU File 2018-015: Codename: "Galapagos"

Summary: The sudden appearance of an Earth-like planets in close conjunction with Earth, along with the reconfiguration of star maps as they are visible from Earth.

The Unusual Incidents Unit became aware of the event at the same time as the rest of the global populace. Due to the scale of the event, a coverup was deemed non-viable and resources were instead directed towards crowd control and easing tensions caused by the event.


ReI Earth Database Errors

Lots of data base errors popping up recently. You might want to have someone take a look into whatever anomaly might be causing all this. Anyway, I've restored the corrupted files from the temporal backup files and included a little blurb at the top regarding what they'd been changed to for record-keeping purposes.

A pair of temporally displaced caterpillars capable of leaving markings in the form of poetry on nearby surfaces. Transmuted into an unknown variety of butterfly and disappeared when reintroduced to each other.
