James K. Akane Locked the door to his lab, The young researcher walked over to the table he had in the center of it. Pushing his glasses up, he pulled the sheet off the body on the table.
Her face looked at peace, James' eyes looked at the rest of her body. Her chest cavity was open, Electronics replaced most of her organs, Wires running along veins and nerves. He had to pull a lot of strings to get her body here and then to get the research done to do it. He knew the basic principles were sound at least. He walked to the workbench and pulled the last piece from it’s box. 4 vials, One of his own blood, one of the mixed tissues of omnikinetics that he could access, a few samples from the few he couldn’t access, and a human egg cell. He had made a homunculus before, of course he never did it using the cells of an omnikinetics nor had bound a soul that had truly gone to the otherside. He slid the vials into the rig in the center of her chest.
“Gizmo, wake up, it is showtime” He said into the air, The room's lights flickered as another man appeared. It was like James was looking into a warped mirror, It was undeniably him but several things were wrong. The prosthetic arm was on his right arm opposed to the left, His ears were more pointed, but the most jaring thing was the eyes, while James were a soft shade of hasle, Gizmo’s were electric yellow one was slited like the cats the other was slitted like a goat’s.
“Coolio, Impenetrable has her all dolled up for her part” Gizmo said walking over to stand at the opposing James at the table. He held his right arm over her body as James did the same with his left. James inhaled and started the incantation, Gizmo joining.
“Unravel the laws of Life and Death. Unravel the laws of reality, Weave accourdence with our will Construct a vessel for the soul,” Their hands began to glow, the 4 vials emptied into the tank, the mixtor glowed a soft cyan and a third voice, her voice joined in. “Pulled from the field from afar. We'll see creation and destruction come undone, These bones that bound will be gone, We'll stir our spirits 'til we're one, Then like the softest shadows we’ll be gone.”
Glyphs around the room ignited the room in a soft combination of yellow, green and cyan. The glyphs covered every flat surface, All spiraling to the center of the room. Her body glowed brighter before the chest slammed closed. Her eyes fluttered open and she inhaled sharply. Gizmo stargard back. He held his head.
“I am going to sleep, Remember your part of the deal” He said, before vanishing in a flicker of sparks. James Ran over to her, His daughter, His girl, and took her in his arms
“Dad…D-Did it work?” She asked, James nodded.
“Yes, it did Aurora, baby girl, your back.” He said, then he heard the unmistakable sound of a shotgun racking.
“Ya sure about that partner?” Said the unmistakable voice of Dr. Clef. James stiffened, let go of his daughter, And turned to face Dr. Clef, staring down the shotgun’s barrel. “You got lots of explaining to do.”
My name is Professor Alex Hawk, I am the Head of Foundation’s Special Assist Collection Unit. More commonly referred to as the S.A.C.U. Let me welcome you aboard the Yggdrasil. I'm sure you all have questions about how the ship operates. I will go over some of the more common talking points about Yggdrasil and our mission at the S.A.C.U..
What is Yggdrasil?
Yggdrasil is an ark class void ship, there is a bit to unpack there, so let's start with the easiest, it’s Ark classification. Yggdrasil can support up to 1.3 Million standard family units, 2 adults and 2 children, and a crew of a little 5 thousand personal. It has fresh water purification, hydroponics bays, even hatcheries for fish and fields of raising cattle.
Next is Void Ship. This is a bit harder to explain in layman's terms, but Yggdrasil is designed to travel between realities. It is equipped with 9.5 billion reality anchors, most notably about Yggdrasil’s reality anchor array, they don’t follow design found in SCP-3326. While the S.R.A. is a simi unknown how they work. Yggdrasil’s use a currently unreplicatable element. This element, when powered, will maintain a steady Hume level with less than 1% room for fluxuations. When passing into an area of null reality, Yggdrasil will form a bubble of reality around itself and use its rift engine to glide to a parallel reality.
Who made Yggdrasil?
As much as wish to say we did, that isn’t true. We found Yggdrasil in orbit of Earth’s moon, abandoned and damnaged. We believe a group called the High Mercenary built it to escape some from of reality ending event. Not much is known about them save for their high commander. They appeared to follow a being known as the Valkyrie Dawn. It is unknown at this time if any members of the High Mercenary are on our native reality nor is it our place to worry about I am sure the overseer council is working on that issue.
What is the Special Assist Collection Unit?
Oddly enough, this is the third most common question I get despite people being a part of it. Now I would understand if it was from the people here for Independent studies, but the number of people who don’t do research is staggering, so I have been asked to add this to the talk. The long and short of it, we collect essential data and personal from realities on an ZK-Class End-of-reality event who failed to execute procedure CYA-009.
Special Assist Collection Unit is an MTF tasked with travelling to parallel realities and extracting data from the Foundation’s central database as well as evacuate any remaining alive personal with priority for administration and site staff, then secondary priority with non-foundation personal. Any redundant administration personal to our native reality are deposited into realities without them. Foundation Personnel who cannot find a reality are offered a new identity to continue work at the Foundation or be given Class F Amnestics and released into the general population. As for non-Foundation personal, we offer some of the same as we do staff, Mainly people with military backgrounds may be picked up as Mobile Task Force agents, field agents, or security agents, If we have an open role in our reality or any of our allied realities. However that only covers about 5%, 95% released into the general population of our allies who have a broken veil scenario, More often they have programs for these refugees. Those who wish it can be given amnestics and moved to a reality where the veil is still maintained, such as our reality, under the guise of war refugees.
Yggdrasil also currently host to 2 independent studies, Dr. Akane’s research on dimensional and reality contestants and Dr. Cooper’s research on omnikinetic reaction in area of null reality. If anyone wants to join them. Speak to the respective doctor or with me, if you want to start your own.
WARNING THIS IS HEAVY WIP AND MAY NOT REPRESENT THE FINAL PRODUCT.
Containment Class:
euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held in a hermetically sealed humanoid containment cell. The cell’s airlock is to be fitted with a Faraday cage and an electromagnetic pulse generator. All persons exiting SCP-XXXX’s chamber must perform a modified level two biological hazmat decontamination in the chamber’s airlock, including an E.M.P. discharge.
SCP-XXXX is prohibited to contact with any type of digital storage medium. All electronic devices that SCP-XXXX comes in contact with should be scanned for the files “Aurora.IBS”, “Aurora.NBF and ”Aurora.SOL” using XXXX-Alpha data crawler. If “Aurora.IBS”, and/or “Aurora.NBF” are present, the power source must be promptly removed and the device is to be destroyed. If the file “Aurora.SOL” is found. The device will be put in secure storage vault XXXX-Γ without a power source. XXXX-Γ is to be lined with lead and internally fitted with a radio jammer and faraday cage. SCP-XXXX is allowed to request non-electronic items for its comfort.
Dr. James K. Akane is allowed supervised visitations with SCP-XXXX twice a week for 3 hours under the supervision of 2 clearance level 1 security staff. Dr. Akane is to be searched before entering and after exiting SCP-XXXX cell for electronic devices. Any found must be taken from Dr. Akane and scanned for modified versions of the above-mentioned files.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a replica of Aurora Akane, the daughter of Dr. James Akane and Dr. Elizabeth Thomspon. Who was killed on the 8th of November, 2013.
SCP-XXXX is identical to Aurora Akane excluding cellular structure. The entity's cells consist of a network of nano-machines each spanning 5 ųM. Each nano-machine can hold 8 bytes of data at a speed of 215 PetaFLOPS. SCP-XXXX’s Total storage capacity is estimated to be at around 240 terabytes. SCP-XXXX’s chest cavity houses a bioreactor, which breaks down ingested foodstuffs into energy and material to replenish lost nano-machines with very little waste.
SCP-XXXX’s operation system consists of three files labeled “Aurora.IBS”, “Aurora.NBF”, and ”Aurora.SOL”. When connected to a device or a data-link connected to a device via physical contact with SCP-XXXX's skin, SCP-XXXX will attempt to duplicate its operating system files. Followed by recreating its core and reactor, mapping along active data-networks to any device that can do so, targeting 3D-printing devices first. However, only one instance of SCP-XXXX will be active at a time. The files will deactivate once leaving the active instance and will reactivate once the active instance is neutralized.
At this time, researchers have not found a way to remove inactive instances of the files from a device once infected other than its destruction. Devices with the “Aurora.SOL” file on them has proven impossible to destroy because of SCP-963-2’s research use in its creation. SCP-XXXX retains minor control of the files being loaded into a connected device capable to halt the file "Aurora.SOL" from being transferred completely. SCP-XXXX has demonstrated the ability to control devices with the "Aurora.IBS" file through Wide Area Networking(WAN).
SCP-XXXX appears to be at the equivalent cognitive level for children in its age bracket, however, it shows accelerated memory recall and processing, because of this it is difficult to accurately measure its cognition level. SCP-XXXX is aware of its anomalous properties and is mildly distressed by them.
Incident log:XXXX-1: The following is recorded on 10-15-2023 from an onsite security station outside Dr. Akane’s office:
Camera recording empty hallway, the security station's inbuilt Kant counter spiked to 6,015 Humes, triggering an automated lockdown. The door to Dr. Akane's office glows brightly before it vanishes from the wall
the onsite security team arrives within 5 minutes, lead by security chief Daniel “Dusk” Burst
Dusk:(Scans the wall with a handheld Kant counter) The hell? Where the fuck did Akane’s office go?
Security officer Aaron Gragson approaches to security chief Dusk.
Gragson: The Kant counter in station 4-32 has detected a possible reality shift, sir.
Dusk: (Squeezing the bridge of his nose.) I want everyone to spread out, I’ll stay here till the eggheads arrive. Everyone check the stations to establish if there is any activity on them.
Security team disburses, and Dusk moves to the end of the hall to await containment team Bravo to arrive.
After 10 minutes, security Station 4-32 starts to read a Hume level of 12,800. Dusk turns before a light fills the hall, and Dr. Akane’s office reappear.
Dr. Akane opens the door, Dusk draws his service weapon and aims for Dr. Akane.
Dusk: Akane The hell is going on.
Akane: (Holds up his hands) Woah, Dusk, Don’t Shoot.
Remainder of the security team appears in the hall, drawing their service weapons.
Unknown Child’s voice: Dad, What’s going on?
The entity steps out Dusk narrows his eyes, changing his target to it.
Dusk: Team, Contain both of them, Bring Akane to my office and give the girl to the eggheads.
Dr. Akane Turns to the entity.
Akane: Aurora, you need to be a good girl and do everything they ask. Okay?
Entity nods before being escorted by two security officers to intake researcher Philips' office.
Akane: all right Dusk, Lead the way (Turning to the officers.) You might want to get someone from the D.E.A.D. come up and have a poke around on an unnetworked computer.
Interviewed: Research doctor James Kane Akane,
Interviewer: Daniel “Dusk” Burst, the security chief of site 06.
Foreword: Dr. Akane was detained pending a possible containment breach. Dr. Akane was fitted with a reality anchorage cuff to prevent any attempts to escape.
Dusk: Do you mind telling me what the hell was that was?
Dr. Akane: (Adjusting the cuff) That was my daughter.
Dusk Your….daughter (Dusk sighs) Akane, what did you do?
Dr. Akane: There was a file…on one the old data-banks…About an old overseer, File was numbered 321, I read over it, and thought about it, I could do better. I could bring her BACK. I called in a favor from Anderson, Got one of the AI frameworks. Next was the hard part, 963-2 once I go-
Dusk(cutting off Dr. Akane) All research to 963-2 is level 5.
Dr. Akane: I can re-write the fabric of reality in a room in a few dozen lines of code, You think the Level 5 Data-bank’s firewall would have stopped me?
Dusk: (pauses, before sighing.) please continue.
Dr. Akane: Once I got the research on 963-2, I unbound my office from time using around 4,800 runes, had to use every flat surface in my office to do it. Once unbound, I traveled to the point of her death (Dr. Akane takes a shaking breath) Seeing her body like that. I primed a File, Labeled it Aurora.SOL Rested the drive on her chest as she struggled to breath (Dr. Akane pauses before inhaling and exhaling) Then I scanned her brain into the AI, The Device uses high-density waves, It microwaved her brain. If she wasn’t already dying, from… (Dr. Akane pauses then swallows) It was a mercy, Once the scan was done she had stopped breathing, it trapped her soul and mind in the drive. Once I had both I returned to my office and put them in in the core. A bit of my design, lifted from a proto-type Anderson sent with the AI. Replaced the hydrogen fusion reactor with a bioreactor. Then gave her only two nano-forges, instead of the 6 the original needed. Finally, feed the framework with an image of her body, I had a few in an old scrapbook I had in my desk. Loaded her brain scan and soul. Then started the reactor. After 10 minutes I had my daughter back. Granted had to block the memory of death to prevent the Psychological feedback, But it was still her.
Dusk: I see, I have everything I need to file a report with the site head. Swear you cause more paperwork than any other of the doctors.
Dr. Akane: Understandable, I have a talent for it.
Closing Statement: Investigation to how Dr. Akane gained access to 963-2 is pending admin action, at this time the entity isn’t to be classified as 963-3, rather it’s own SCP due to its unique properties.
Intake Interview:
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Intake specialist Dr. Philips.
Foreword: SCP-XXXX was brought to Dr. Philips with the aid of Dr. Davson from the D.E.A.D. in the hopes of understanding its nature and intentions.
Philips: Hello there dear, Can you tell me what your name is?
XXXX: I’m Aurora Akane.
Philips: Do you know where we are?
XXXX: Dad’s work?
Philips: Yep, Do you know how you got here?
XXXX: I was at school then… (SCP-XXXX’s face scrunches in confusion) I was in his office on my back…but I don’t know how I got there.
Philips: That’s all right hun, me and my partner are going to run some tests, all right?
SCP-XXXX nods, Dr. Phillips preps the entity for a blood draw. Dr. Davson sets up a laptop isolated from the Foundation network,
Philips: This might sting a little (Dr. Philips successfully performs a venipuncture. SCP-XXXX instinctively tenses up. Dr. Philips fills the vacuum syringe with a thick black liquid before sealing and sending it for testing.)
XXXX: That didn’t hurt at all like they normally do.
Philips: Well that’s good to know sweetie.
Dr. Davson moves to SCP-XXXX with a USB cable and fronds
Davson: (To Philips) There is no data access point, where is the plug s’post to go?
SCP-XXXX reaches and takes the plug and presses to its skin above where Dr. Philips performed venipuncture, The skin gives for a moment before transforming into a female USB port. Allowing the laptop to connect to SCP-XXXX
Davson:(Surprised) I guess that’s where.
SCP-XXXX slumps in her chair as Dr. Davson starts a file scanner.
Davson: How are you feeling, love?
XXXX: (hesitantly when SCP-XXXX talks, It’s voice issued from both it’s mouth and the laptop’s speakers) It’s Kinda weird, I can see what looks like a web of lights. Each one ending in a brighter light.
Davson: Try opening the Notepad.
The laptop opens the program Notepad.
Davson: Good Good, can you try to type “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog,”
SCP-XXXX types out the requested phase verbalizing each word as it does so.
Davson: Very good, Can you try only speaking through the laptop.
XXXX: How do you mean? I'm talking through my mouth.
Davson: Try talking though my computer, talk without….using your mouth.
SCP-XXXX Nods slowly and begins speaking, its voice is muffled from its body. However, Its voice was clearer and louder from the speakers of the laptop.
Dr. Davson finishes the scan of SCP-XXXX. The scans return 3 files. “Aurora.IBS”, “Aurora.NBF”, ”Aurora.SOL” Dr. Davson disconnects the laptop from SCP-XXXX. When looking for the shutdown command for the computer. Dr. Davson finds that the laptop refused to shut down, finding the files saved to its operating system. Dr. Davson forced shutdown by removing the battery and power cable and marked the computer for further investigation.
Philips: How are you feeling hun?
XXXX: A little dizzy, but otherwise fine.
Dr. Philips nods
Philips: Good, Well I’ll get you a room so you can lay down.
Research Notes: The blood sample came back negative for biological matter. Instead, under magnification, showed the blood cells were a network of nano-machines. Further samples from SCP-XXXX has shown 100% of its cells are synthetic. It is unknown how the cells transmit data between themselves or how they hold cohesion, it is possible that under the right conditions that the entity could airlize its cells and spread in an area. It is my recommendation that the entity is held in a hermetically sealed room to prevent it from spreading itself. - Dr. Philips
SCP-XXXX is equipped with an aggressive worm. Its operating system will spread to any devices networked with SCP-XXXX. However, these files do not do anything once on a system. It is a leading theory within the D.E.A.D. that they are a fail-safe system if the main instance is damaged. With SCP-XXXX's ability to adapt and control devices through a remote user interface. It is possible SCP-XXXX could represent a data-hazard and all devices used for testing should be destroyed if possible. That being said all attempts to destroy the laptop used in the intake interview have failed. If what chief Dusk has said is true, it is possible the file Aurora.SOL is protecting the system as a whole to prevent destruction, even preventing device shutdown. For the time I recommend removing the power to force the shutdown of a device and storing it in a vault. - Dr. Davson.
