Chris: -listen, if I'm going to say anything today, I'll need something to smoke. There's no way I'm going to be able to keep myself together otherwise, after the shit I've been put through. Do you have any joint I can smoke? Actually maybe a blunt would be better. You got any? I only smoke the good shit
Dr. ████████: My apologies Chris but- it's Chris right?
Chris: Yes
Dr. ████████: Alright Chris. You see Chris, due to our regulations, we can't have our clients consume any sort of substances during the interviews session. All sort of consumption even if minor, is to be done outside the workspace. I hope you can understand-
Chris: Fuck you and your regulations. Can’t a man smoke for once? Hey listen, don't blame me if I can't remember half of the shit you want me to. I know my fair share about not going against the rules but like fucking seriously, it's a blunt. What's one small blunt gonna do compared to all the fucked up shit you guys have locked up in this hell hole?
Dr. ████████: Actually Chris, marijuana is a very potent drug, so we cannot trust its effects when we attempt to interview individuals such as yourself, even if we are to consider bypassing the regulations. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an interview to complete here. I do hope you intend to cooperate with me Chris. If you have any problems with this, I can have you immediately escorted-
Chris: Nah, it's good. I was just speaking out of my mind. Don't take it seriously
Dr. ████████: I'm glad to hear that Chris. Now, lets begin with our interview. As you might know, I'm going to be asking you a few questions about what you experienced. If everything goes accordingly, we won't need to do anything unnecessary. So, let's start with this. Chris. What do you remember first?
Chris: In the? Well a couple of things. First thing I remember is uh, being stuck in this stone padded room, that was pretty much completely empty except for this big wooden crate looking thing. I couldn't find a door or anything, I was pretty much just there by myself. For a minute, I actually didn't notice the cute looking jar, that was on top of the crate. It was actually pretty cool. It had this cork made of clay sealed on top of it, and there was this nice handle just beside it that went perfectly into my hand. Felt nice too. I couldn't actually lift it, I dunno maybe it was too heavy. But damn the fucking design, it was top notch. It was all green and shit, and it looked like some intense stuff. But oh boy, once I opened it, shit went down. Like literally. The walls fucking degraded into sand once I opened the jar. All of the fucking things turned into sand. I closed my eyes so I wouldn't go fucking blind but pretty much all of it was just smoke. When I opened my eyes though… you know I've seen some stuff in the past. I've been through alot and I even got to try acid a couple of times. It was crazy stuff but that… all of that was just completely out there. Fuck, where you guys drugging me or some shit?
Dr. ████████: According to the files, you were brought into the waiting chamber unsedated. Why do you say that? Why do you think you were drugged?
Chris: Cause of the shit I saw that's why. I was literally in a forest when I opened my eyes. A forest. Do you get that? It wasn't even a normal forest. The fucking trees went on forever in to the sky. I couldn't even see the end of them. And they weren't even… they looked like shaved pine trees but felt like they were made out of stone. What kind of trees is that? This is… you're saying you didn't fucking drug me? What the fuck was I seeing then? What was all of that? The sky. It was deep red like some horror movie set or some shit. Actually the trees where the ones that were drowning out the sky. Cause the more up you looked, the more red they got. I was stuck in a living nightmare man I… the trees went on for miles. And they weren't even spaced apart naturally. Nothing in there was natural. It was like I got placed in some surreal art show made by some insane OCD guy or some shit. The trees looked like they were street lamps rather than something natural. They even had the same measurements as one. The grass looked normal though. You know what, it probably wasn't. I just didn't notice it. Like those things. Brings me the chills just thinking about them
Dr. ████████: Are you implying you weren't alone?
Chris: How much I wish I was. But no, I wasn't. Not at all. I know it’s kind of odd for me to say that but… trust me, you never would want to see that in your lifetime. The moment I started walking just for a bit, I saw them everywhere. They were… inhuman. Their bodies man I… I've seen pictures before of extremely starved people but those… their skin had completely sucked in on their bones so that I could see every small detail. And alongside all their body, there where chains digged into their flesh that hung off of them like ornaments. Their stretched faces it… I have no idea what those things where. Not even in my wildest guess. They were completely covered in this disgusting brown tone that made it look like they were made out of rotting paper. Some of them wandered around in circles while others struggled to try and rip off the chains. They were about three times taller than me and uh… I tried my best to avoid them. They didn't seem to care that I was there, but I didn't take any chances. I just kinda started running you know, kept going forward. They only appeared to be at my sides so I assumed there must have been a good reason they weren't in front of me. I thought that my escape must lie just ahead but… I just kept on moving. I had to get away as far as possible
Dr. ████████: Did you find what you were looking for?
Chris: Yeah. I reached something alright. But it wasn't something good. You know I said that those tall motherfuckers we're fucked up but… I think that's overgeneralizing it. Things went from bad to worse. Somehow one of those tall things managed to get in front of me. I was panicking I-I didn't know how to react. But that thing it… it looked like it was more scared of me that I was of it. I was… I was kind of feeling sad for it, I know it's fucking stupid but really. You had to see that disfigured face it… it was completely disoriented. But then I realized it wasn't looking at me. There was something behind me. I-I heard its heavy footsteps first and when I turned around… I saw the fucking worst thing in my life. It… it looked like a normal person. A bit bigger than an average guy, had long black hair but… everything about him was rather normal except of course it's fucking face. It looked like a fucking alligator but if an alligator was mutilated and raised up in the depths of hell. Like its… its jaw stretched out with a size that was about the same length of its body. And that wasn't even your typical alligator jaw it… it looked like a beak. But then the… there where the teeth. They weren't the kind of teeth you would traditionally think of. They grew out of every part of its mouth. On top, on the sides, everywhere. It was just this… abomination of things and… it was all bloodied. For a second I actually thought I was in some kind of a show. The thing, it charged right past me and then jumped on the guy in front of me. It was fucking crazy man I… I only saw for a second what it was doing to it when… I reacted by running. It was tearing it apart, you couldn't expect me to stand there for more than a second. I… I ran. I could hear its screaming as I tried to get away and… the sky felt like it was a stereo of its voice. I could hear the sound of bones breaking over and over again, no matter how far I got. I ran as far away as possible but… I didn't know where to go anymore. Until I heard its footsteps again. I have no idea how it managed to catch up with me so quickly. I thought I made some distance but it somehow was just right behind me again. I turned around and… it said one word in this hoarse and gurgled voice. “Filth”. Right there in front of me it said “filth”. I knew he was talking to me. I could see those blank black eyes looking straight at me. And then the jaw… it started snapping like it was mechanical. It came for me now. There was nothing I could do. I did what I did best though. I ran
Dr. ████████: So I'm assuming you managed to get away, unless something else happened. Is there something you wish to let me know?
Chris: It was strange it… I was supposed to be dead. In every way possible. But the bunny didn't want me to die. You see, it was just after the monster started freaking out and after I thought my death was inevitable, that I saw a flash of blue. I wasn't the only one who saw it either. The abomination glanced at it too and it shrieked in this vile tone of anger, almost like it was scared of it. But it wasn't for long. It flopped to the ground and started to dislocate and reshape its body, like it was getting ready to sprint. When I saw that I… what was I supposed to do? I followed them. I followed the bunny because there was nothing I could do. Yet despite the situation, I knew I could trust them. They guided me through that nightmare of a place like they said they would. I could see it was a bunny because of the long ears, but it was also rather blue for one and moved as swift as a wolf. I was doing my best to catch up with them but I made the mistake of turning around. I thought that thing was gone but… then I saw how it was moving after me. The… the monster, it was shifting through those trees high up in the sky like a… almost like it was hoping from one to the other. But… it seemed like it was propelling through them like a ghost rather than doing it like an animal would. All I really noticed was that it was getting faster and lower to the ground and by that point, I wasn't looking back anymore. It was either I gave it my all or… but luck shined on me. Because after that, the trees started to diminish and the grass grew taller. Just as I could hear its snapping jaw right next to my ear I… I was saved. The area opened up and I was in a vast field of yellow. The grass went up to my ankles now and as I was looking around, I saw the bunny for the last time. It looked like they… fell into the ground and vanished. They vanished right in front of this hole that was situated on the center of an average sized mound, big enough for me to enter it. I was barely a few steps away from it so… I decided to rush into it. It looked safe and I thought that's where they went. I have no idea what I was doing. But I doubt you would be either. That was my only option
Dr. ████████: Was there something you found there?
Chris: I made a mistake. I should have considered what I was doing. But… there was no other way was there? I had to go through there, no matter what. That was my escape, my… awakening. I found myself in a cave. It felt like one, at least. It was too dark to tell anyway. I wasn't hitting my head against anything, but I kept down due to the dampness of the floors. There was light, but it wasn't natural lighting. Some part of the walls looked like they were… ablaze from within. These lights were more like specs though, spread across everywhere randomly. They didn't provide me with much of a visual, but I knew where to turn. I knew where… the floor was leaking with blood. That's why it felt so slick. I saw the… bloodbath of a place I was in. I made a turn, and then everything was blasted with light. I was gonna turn around, I was gonna run back, but then I saw its shadow. Everywhere alongside the walls, I could see the many different shapes of its jaw. It blocked my way back. I must have entered its den. [pause] I can't remember much. Neither do I want to. I'm gonna give you it nice and simple, so I don't have to get into the details. I want to be over with this part quickly. There where people hanging from the ceiling. They were all across the sky. They moved. They were… they were wrapped in metal spikes. Their blood dripped down on the floor. They all looked at me
Dr. ████████: My apologies Chris, but I don't seem to understand what you're saying. I'll need you to explain more, if possible
Chris: I'm trying my best here. Listen, if I can't even tell what I saw, then I doubt I'll be able to explain it. But it doesn't really matter. I managed to get out of that place, after running for what felt like hours. I convinced myself in there that there was no exit to that place but despite all of that, one moment I was in the dark and the next I was outside. I don’t seem to be able to recall exactly how I came there. I was in the cave, and then I saw a light in the shape of a door frame. Of course I was gonna run towards something like that. And luckily, it wasn’t a trap. Where I managed to find myself then was… for what it looked like, that was an ordinary mountain pass. A path somewhere high up in the mountains, where no plants would grow but where you still couldn't find any snow. I exited what looked like a stone ledge, carved out of a irregularly large boulder. The terrain around me was completely rigged with decently large rocks, oddly sticking out of the ground. I could instantly feel the humidity of the air on my face and you could see the heat doing its work on the surfaces. It all looked like a vast ridge leading steadily upwards, and the sky… it was completely white. Pure and milk kind of white. I could taste the freshness of the sky with the colors alone. I would have enjoyed that view, if it wasn't that I heard it's snapping jaw echoing on the walls of the tunnel I escaped from. The mountain pass wasn't steep so I was able to make some ground, but I noticed the danger once I started climbing it. You had to know what you were doing when you were climbing something like that. The rocks where razor sharp on some edges, and one wrong step was all it took. Yet somehow, a convenient path had been laid out leading to the top, despite the crudeness of it all. It was all very inviting. I could have made the decision to climb back down, as the terrain was basically the same that way, but there was something nagging me to go further up. It was almost like I could smell success up somewhere on top of all of that. After some time of climbing, I turned around to see what my situation was. And there it was, going straight for me. Nothing was stopping that monstrosity. With my lack of strength, it was going to catch up with me in no time. So I resorted to projectile self defense. I yanked out the nearest rock I could find, and hurled it at that motherfucker. The rock was too heavy, so my aim ended up being terrible. It landed on the surface of one of those rocks below me, and shattered into many sliced chunks. I looked away in the moment, I got a little fidgety when I saw it go everywhere. But then I heard it's body slam against the rocks. My aim managed to hit its mark after all, and even better than I expected. One of the pieces lodged itself into its torso, causing it to go flying. But it was far from dead
Dr. ████████: Surely something of that degree must have severely damaged it?
Chris: No. It desired pain. Like I said, nothing was gonna stop that thing. It's blackened blood filled out the mountain side, but it didn't seem to care. It didn't stop it one bit. It was just a convenient delay. I have no idea how much that injury affected it. But the way it was reacting…

Addendum SCP-XXXX-2-02
Dr. ████: [noise] Alright. We now begin the interview with serial number D84-
Jonathan: Could you call me by my proper name? It's Jonathan. Or Be- actually it's just Jonathan
Dr. ████: Right, my apologies Jonathan. So I believe you're already aware of why you’re here today?
Jonathan: Well yes, I was told the basics
Dr. ████: That's good. So-
Jonathan: I’m ready if that's what you're asking. Just get to the point already
Dr. ████: I understand how you feel Jonathan, but there's no need for you to be so tense. There's nothing to be worried about Jonathan, I'll be just asking you a few simple questions. It'll be over in no time, trust me
Jonathan: That's what I've been waiting for. What do you take me as?
Dr. ████: Very well. Jonathan, in one of your previous interviews, that if I'm correct you had with Doctor █████, you mentioned something of note that I would like to pick up on today. While in discussion with Doctor █████, you said that quote “it was a frozen wasteland full of bodies”? Could you elaborate on this?
Jonathan: [pause] It was what I said it was. Absolutely barren and cold to the bone. Well except for the bodies of course. And the… I have no idea how I got there. First thing I remember is… it was cold. Like you've just been locked in a freezer and left to die. Way worse. I wasn't there by myself either. Those things, they…
Dr. ████: Are you talking about the bodies?
Jonathan: Yes. Yes I was jackass. You don't like being subtle do you? Right to the center, no matter how the other side feels like. That's just how the bunch of you are huh? Yeah. Yes, it was filled to the fucking brim with bodies. Solid and rotten as if they were statues rather than corpses. But those faces… I knew they were people once. There was no denying it with those taunting faces. And I had to fucking walk over them, hoping I didn't step on something that could cause me to fall over. Do you know how that fucking feels like? No, of course not. Not people like you. Not you
Dr. ████: Is there anything else you saw?
Jonathan: Oh yes. Much more. I think I started walking ahead because of those flames. The bodies further ahead where… burning somehow, in massive bonfires. I knew it wasn't natural and I should have tried to go somewhere else but… it was too cold, I couldn't just stand there. Maybe it was those faces that made me move. Or maybe it was their… insides. Th-they were torn and… fuck I can't. I can't. I… I had to keep myself warm. The wind was fucking making my skin feel like it was being torn apart. I just had to get closer to those flames somehow. Until… that thing walked out of the flames. I couldn't… I couldn't move
Dr. ████: What was it that you saw?
Jonathan: It was moving. I… I think it was a person and… no. That thing wasn't human. His skin was all burned and… he looked like the exact opposite to the rest of the place. Like he was just moments ago dousing in a pit of fire and made a wrong turn in hell. He shouldn't have been there. I thought I was all a fucking dream. It should have been. Yet he looked at me. He… I knew this wasn't a dream anymore
Dr. ████: Could you explain how it looked like?
Jonathan: You fucking… he looked like the fucking thing that would keep you alive until every fucking ounce of your blood was sucked out of you. How's that huh? Is that not good enough for you? His eyes where fucking bleeding while he smiled at me and… and… please just… he was smiling. I could see those perfect white teeth while his torn eyes dripped down on them. His jaw was mutilated and… it stretched out like some sort of a joke. And those eyes… I swear I thought he was crying until I saw how torn apart they where. There was barely anything left of it. But the… the fucking gel just kept on coming. And he started walking towards me and… that's when I fell down. I couldn't take it
Dr. ████: Did this entity assault you?
Jonathan: No. No he didn't. I knew he could have and I thought he would. But… he wasn't there for me. I thought he stopped getting closer because of the blade I was holding but… what the fuck was a blade gonna do against something like him. It was stupid of me to think I could stand a chance against that thing. The blade was… I realized I was in a battlefield when I picked it up. I didn't know what those things sticking out of them were at first but… there must have been a battle there long ago. I didn't think those people could have done such things to… to themselves. I… no there must have been something else. All of them were… torn from the inside, it… that wasn't no ordinary battle. It couldn't have been
Dr. ████: So what did this entity do exactly Jonathan?
Jonathan: [pause] It was hungry. No, what the hell am I saying? That's so… but no, that's true. It must have come to feast. It went up to one of those bodies and… ripped its head off with its foot. And-and the fucking head started wailing like it was still alive. I-I think it was screaming in its hands while he held it up for me to see and… no, NO! That couldn't… it crushed it like an egg. And its skin just fell off like it was some ragged cloth. It went for the… for the…
Dr. ████: What where the entities intentions?
Jonathan: It went for the teeth. It plucked each one out and ate them. Ate them like it was a fucking normal thing to do. I could fucking hear him chew on those teeth like they were hard candy… and his smile never faded. He just kept on chewing as he looked at me, to see what I'd do. I knew he was taunting me. Whe-when the last teeth was gone he just dropped the jaw and walked back to the flames. Walked away as if I wasn't there to begin with. And then [laughter] it was gone. I was left there all alone, so I could rot. But I wasn't alone was I? No. I was with them. They were calling me to join them in their frozen graveyard. That was going to be my fate. Until it saved me
Dr. ████: Saved? Did something happen afterwards?
Jonathan: Yeah. I was saved by a hare. Well uh… I think it was a hare anyway. I heard it's voice first, right behind me. It spoke to me like a parent would to their child. It was blue with long thin legs, looked just like the regular animal. It had many shades of blue actually. Bout the size of a dog. Don't know how it got there. I didn't see it being there before. But I could care less. It was there to help me, that's what mattered. I told me to follow it. Said I was ready. All of this was… I don't think this world was the kind of real we all know it as. But it was happening, just on a different level
Dr. ████: I see. Where did it take you to Jonathan?
Jonathan: It's not “it”. The hare had a name but… it's just that I can't remember their name right now. They walked up in front of me and… somehow made a clear path for me to follow. The bodies, they… sunk in the ground when it walked on them. It was strange but it managed to create a trail for me to follow. I don't know what they were doing but as long as I remained on its path, I couldn't feel the cold anymore. It was like it was summer rather than winter. I was still a bit stiff, so I couldn't catch up with them when it ran up ahead of me. I took me some time to get where it wanted me to, don't know how long I was walking. The fog that was there since I got there was still too thick, so I couldn't tell where I was going until the area opened up right in front of me. This um… area was a completely different place. I uh… I actually can't remember much what happened there. I was… things changed
Dr. ████: Well Jonathan, if you can't remember now we can wait for another time. Or we could go for some therapy under Doctor ██-
Jonathan: No, no wait it's not like that. My memory is just fussy. Actually no, it's more like I can only remember what I felt. There was some things but… I guess I'll explain that. I remember seeing a stone slab with something on it and then… I was drowning. That's what happened next. Don't know how, don't know where. All I know is that I felt water entering my lungs soon after I saw the… I can't actually tell you what it was. It's completely blank. I could only feel it there. I have no idea what was happening, but I wasn't really drowning. I was more like drinking it rather than it hurting me. Well… I did feel like complete shit when it went into me but… it also cleaned me out. Something had been inside of me and it had to rip it out. That's the only thing that hurt in that situation. I remember punching something afterwards that caused it to splinter and let me out. I think I was stuck under a layer of ice, or something similar to that. Things became much clearer once I got through. I felt… but it didn't make any sense. Because I came back where I was before. The exact same spot. I uh…
Dr. ████: Are you suggesting that the events happened on repeat?
Jonathan: I couldn't tell you. There's nothing I have to prove for it, or against it. They all happened because they had to. Just like those soldiers marching. Sorry I… the uh, there was an army treading alongside the graveyard when I got back. They where only a few meters away from me but… I didn't want to approach them. I was just… I couldn't do it. I can't. It's too much. I don't wanna leave. I… they looked like hollowed skeletons. I could see the details of their bones, but there was still skin there that kept it together. I don't think they had any eyes. It was too hard to tell due to their uh, iron robes. Yeah their… they were dressed in metal? Like you know… it looked like metal. Something completely solid. I couldn't see the clothes bend and they were gleaming as they moved. But it wasn't… plated or split into pieces. But honestly even that close, I couldn't tell what it was. Uh… there was three rows each. And all of them held a banner in their hands. Either a black or a white one, barely twice their own size. I meant the, the overall banner size. It was the kind of banner that had the flag at the centre of the stick. And they were all singing. More like preaching but, what I got is that they were saying “deas era, deas era“ over and over again. It sounded like they were trying to evoke something. Or maybe they were trying to warn someone. At least that's how they were saying it. The column it… it wasn't a long column. Maybe there was about a little over a thousand of them in total? it didn't take long until they all disappeared in the fog
Dr. ████: Jonathan, I've noticed that you've failed to talk about the events prior to the ones what transpired in this… "graveyard”. Is there a reason to this?
Jonathan: Well uh… I guess? I thought I explained already what happened there to Doctor uh Doctor… the previous guy who talked to me. It wasn't anything special, that's why. I went into the room like I was asked and followed the instructions. Which lead me to where I ended up. Like I was saying to that other guy, there was nothing there in the room expect a stone ledge and a book. Can't tell you much else than that. The moment I opened the book, the room vanished and I was in that… spot. That's when everything happened. I came back out when I heard that fucking whistling thing you guys bombarded in my ears. It did help me though, so I guess I should be thankful. I was in a tight situation when I heard it so, yeah. I guess it worked. That's about it
Dr. ████: Does this conclude what you last remembered?
Jonathan: About. But you haven't heard the most of it. The uh… the ground started shaking sometime after those cloaked guys vanished. It was fucking crazy. The whole fucking world started throwing itself apart and into the air. It was like an earthquake had just been unleashed right there and then. Probably was actually. The ground was erupting right in front of me man I… I couldn't do much. I mean, I couldn't see anything at all apart from how fucked I was. It threw me down right away once it all started. Fuck, I thought my head was gonna split open. That's when I heard the voice. It was… it was just fucking crazy. The voice, it drowned out absolutely everything else. Ate out the rest of the sounds like they were nothing. And the funniest part, it sounded like it was talking in my head. I… wait actually no, scratch that. I heard the voice before that. The voice it… sounded like it was speaking beneath me. Maybe that's why the earthquake happened. Well uh… it doesn't really matter. I fell down there anyway
Dr. ████: Is there by any chance that you fell into a dark enclosing? Does something like that sound familiar?
Jonathan: No, sorry. I got out of the room right after I fell in. Happened pretty much simultaneously. I was opening that door right away when I saw it. There was noth- or wait I forgot. I actually remember what it said. The dialect it used it… those word's ain't gonna leave my mind any time soon. “What is”… wait just give me a sec. [pause] “What is secured must be broken. What is”… what was it? uh… oh right “What is locked must be set free. What is protected must be” [pause] “left to destroy. The one true key cannot be imprisoned” That's what it said. It's burned into my brain
Dr. ████: Is there anything else you want to tell me?
Jonathan: … no
Dr. ████: That completes my interview then. If you have nothing else to add, I'll be concluding our session
Jonathan: It's bout time. I'm done. I've done my part

Addendum SCP-XXXX-2-03
Mustafa: Are we starting? Do you have to say my name like that everytime? Anyway,
Dr. ████████: it's just protocol that's all
point noted

Addendum SCP-XXXX-2-04
Dr. ██████: So Jan, how are you feeling today?
Jan: What do you want me to say?
Dr. ██████: Anything at all. I'm here to listen.
Dr. ██████: What did this entity say Jan exactly?
Jan: It only spoke two words, that I’m certain. If you asked me, the language it spoke sounded very ancient but comprehensible if you get what I mean, probably some variant of english that no one speaks seriously anymore, so I can't tell what it was trying to say exactly. If I had to do a wild guess though, it sounded something in the lines of “dice in ray” [pause] so maybe “it dies in israel”? Probably something that sounds similar to “die” and “ear way”, maybe “I read” or “eye red” for the second one, but seriously I can't-
Dr. ██████: Do you possibly mean “Dies Irae”?
Jan: [silence]
Dr. ██████: Jan?
Jan: How did you know that? Oh wait I see now, so this is all a big joke then? So you guys knew all this shit all along? It's all just one big stupid prank at the end of the day, is that it? Very very funny. So what, do you-
Dr. ██████: My apologies Jan, but I didn't mean to surprise you. I have simply connected a reappearing narrative to your story. You see, other personnel who have interacted with SCP-XXXX, have also claimed to see or hear the words “Dies Irae” somewhere within their … journey if you will. It's quite the coincidence I must say
Jan: Others? There's other guys who saw it? Just like me? W-where are they right now? Can I see them after this? Are they-
Dr. ██████: They're doing fine Jan but we cannot afford to sidetrack now, not when we’re doing so well. You're doing a very good job Jan. Now, if you could explain
