[WARNING: The file you are about to read is an XK-End Of The World Scenario from another universe that is possibly parallel to ours.]
Item #: SCP-5988
Object Class: Apollyon
Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-5988 being an event from an alternate reality, containment is nonexistent. Even though SCP-5988 is unable to be contained, all documents and SCP-5988-2 are safely contained in Site-██.
Description: SCP-5988 is an event from an alternate universe similar to ours. The event of SCP-5988 took place in the early twenty-second (22) century, and during those events the sun turned a blood red color and wiped out half of the human race and ninety-nine (99) percent of all SCPs on their earth and in their solar system. The effects of SCP-5988 were whoever was in direct contact with the Blood Sun’s (SCP-5988-1) solar rays would then calcify and will then turn to dust in seconds.
Those who survived the many months of SCP-5988 began to notice their intelligence and memory were affected by SCP-5988-1’s radiation. When SCP-5988-1 rises and sets, it will give off a low droning sound similar to the increased speed of our sun’s sounds.
[NOTE: If the image of SCP-5988-1 is viewed by any personnel will then experience similar effects caused by the victims of SCP-5988. Affected personnel must be administered Class-A Amnestics immediately.]
DISCOVERY:
09-23-2005.
After recontaining SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED], Dr. ██████ Seits returned to his office and found a slightly burnt memory SD card on his desk wrapped in paper later found to be made from asbestos.
The letter reads as follows:
To any fortunate soul who finds this message through the realms, thanks to SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED].
//Our world is dead and hope has died along with it. We hope this recording will prepare you for if this reality happens in your dimension.
If not, then best of wishes to you and your future. //
Keep this safe and live good lives!
-Felix
[The writing seems as though this “Felix” wrote the letter at a fast pace at the last second.]
Dr. Seits inserts the SD card into his computer and finds one photo of a red sun peeking over the horizon, a photo of a pile of gray ash, and twenty-seven audio files labeled “Blood Sun Reality” with the numbers next to the title in numerical order.
Dr. Seits plays the first audio file.
The audio files plays as follows:
AUDIO FILE - Blood Sun Reality-1.mp3:
audio crackling can be heard from someone setting up a microphone, a male’s voice begins to speak
Ok… this is Felix ██████, age twenty-seven (27), Caucasian, German/American decent, and The Site Manager of Site-██.
It’s October twenty-first (21), twenty-one hundred and one (2101), and I’m starting this audio journal to share my…. Forgive me… “our” experiences with this Solar anomaly.
So where do I begin? I guess a description would be a good start.
Last month we all heard this deep horrifying droning sound echo throughout our planet, later we found that the sound traveled through not only our planet, but our solar system. At sunrise the sky lit up with a bloodstained hue and our sun had a red light instead of its natural yellow hue.
Fortunately for me and my colleagues, we had an overcast sky that day and we got to experience it safely, but once we went back inside the facility we found that our skin suffered from sunburn. Not only our face and hands, which were the only body parts that were exposed, but our entire bodies were burnt.
Now I shouldn’t say “burnt” lightly for everyone else who were… less fortunate. After tending to our mysterious sunburn, we had an announcement informing us to watch the world news. We turned on the nearest holovision set and got a report saying that millions of lives were lost. From what intel has told us, those who stood out in the “Blood Sun’s” rays directly…
Felix pauses for seven (7) seconds
…they were all calcified to stone and turned to ash within seconds…
I’m sorry. I can’t do this right now…
*crackling from the mic can be heard again*
[END RECORDING]
AUDIO FILE - Blood Sun Reality-2.mp3:
audio crackles like before for the first second
Hello Fortunate souls. Felix again. So we have good news and some bad news today, which by the way, today is now December nineteenth (19), twenty-one hundred and one (2101). I’ll start off with the bad news first.
The sun still burns a blood red color and everyone on earth is afraid to go outside in the day. Although at night we can freely move around, but the night sky emits a black-red hue, and the Blood Sun’s rays make our moon glow a light red color. When the moon is full we suffer from sunburn the same way how our sun use to do to us on a hot summer day.
*sigh*
…..We lost a few hundred more in the last week… and we're all trying to find a safe way to combat the Blood Sun’s rays.
Now moving onto the good news. SCP-682 from Site-██ breached containment again, but we all rejoiced after the breach because it finally died! After all these years, he finally died. What happened was he tore through every sector like paper, and once he set foot… or claw outside, he immediately began to calcify and turn into a pile of ash. When he began to calcify his body was trying to adapt to the Blood Sun’s rays. Fortunately for us, SCP-682 was no use to The Blood Suns’ power.
That lifted the foundation’s hearts for a while during this crisis.
Felix cracks a chuckle
*sigh*
Although, when SCP-079 heard the news… it self-terminated out of grief and is now labeled Neutralized.
Some of the 05’s didn’t take that lightly.
In recent news from what I’ve heard, we lost 05-█ to the Blood Sun. 05-█ was on a special mission to find out more about this Solar anomaly, but there was an accident and 05-█ got caught in the Blood Sun’s rays.
That’s all I have for this update. End of recording.

Dr. Seits tries to play the next few files, but unfortunately the files were corrupted
AUDIO FILE - Blood Sun Reality-5.mp3:
audio begins with sounds of screaming and the alarm going off, heavy breathing and running footsteps can be heard
//January eighth (8), Twenty-one hundred and two (2102)! Felix again! SCP-[EXPUNGED], aka. [EXPUNGED], just breached containment again and perished from the Blood Sun’s rays. Half of the facility is now exposed to the Blood Sun and we are all now heading down to the lower levels before the topside of the facility collapses. //
*a voice echoes out through the entercom. “SCP-[EXPUNGED] has been spotted outside the facility! Repeat! SCP-[EXPUNGED] has been sighted outside the facility!*
[REDACTED] I got to go!

AUDIO FILE: Blood Sun Reality-13.mp3:
Hi. Felix again. It’s now… god… I don’t know anymore. I’m not sure if the sun is affecting my memory or… I just don’t know. Every morning and at dusk we always hear that dreadful moaning… that damn moaning from that [REDACTED] bloody sun!
pause for twenty (10) seconds
//So many of our staff have… taken their own lives. Only a few of us are staying strong during this whole crisis.
I guess now is best to tell you… ninety percent (90%) of our SCPs have either vanished, been neutralized, or have perished from the Blood Sun which we are now calling SCP-5988.
We sent an S.O.S to any extraterrestrial SCPs out there that could help us, but unfortunately none have replied except SCP-179. She finally replied back to us saying, and I quote, //
“Spend time with your loved ones. For Hope is now lost. The End has come for the Solar System. Goodbye.”
The 05 council didn’t approve of her response and are now awaiting response from SCP-[EXPUNGED].
In other news, SCP-[EXPUNGED] is still roaming around outside the facility. We are not sure how it’s withstanding SCP-5988’s rays, but it puts us all on edge. We believe that once we are all gone, SCP-[EXPUNGED] will be all that remains on Planet Earth…
deep droning sound can be heard
//Ah… it’s finally getting dark outside. //

AUDIO FILE - Blood Sun Reality-14.mp3:
We just got word from the foundation’s observatory… SCP-[EXPUNGED], its moon, and Pluto itself… are gone. No trace of them can be found anywhere.
We also got word that SCP-2399 is inactive. We checked our satellite orbiting Jupiter, and found that not only is it inactive, but is completely dead. Even the octopid creatures protecting it are dead.
Even SCP-2146 is gone. When the astronomy personnel tried finding it after the loss of most of the SCPs from space…. Forgive me. I believe the Blood Sun is affecting our intelligence now. anyway… all we could find from SCP-2146’s location was a cloud of ash. We believe SCP-5988’s rays hit SCP-2146 and…
alarm goes off, announcer echoes through the building:
Warning! All Foundation Staff vacate the premises! I repeat! All Foundation Staff vacate the premises! SCP-[EXPUNGED], has breached containment! All Foundation Staff vacate the…..

audio starts. Sounds of foundation members crying can be heard in the background
Hello…… Felix again….. SCP-6000 is about to rise once more…. We were able to escape from SCP-[EXPUNGED]… but all of Site-██ is now overtaken by SCP-[EXPUNGED]’s effects… thanks to the cover of night, me and a few other Foundation members were able to find a new location to hide from SCP-5988…. *voice cracks*….. I can’t take anymore of this horror….. I want this nightmare to end…..
heavy breathing can be heard
The Foundation is over….. all the 05’s killed themselves…. Ninety-nine percent (99%) of all SCPs are either dead or left us behind by traveling to another reality or universe… eighty-seven percent (87%) of plant life is gone… thirty-two percent (32%) of our oceans are dried up… half of the human race is gone…. and all Hope is lost…
deep droning sound can be heard louder than before, The Blood Sun has begun to peak over the horizon
SHUT UP!!! JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT TO TAKE FROM US?! LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!!
droning sound stops suddenly
a clock ticking can be heard in the background
….it…. it can’t be…. it…. it finally stopped~! After all this time! It finally stopped!
audio crackles and heavy breathing can be heard. Running footsteps can be heard as well. It’s deduced that Felix is running to look outside. A door creeping can be heard

sounds of horror can be heard
//Oh god….. oh…. what is that….?
Something is…. it’s…. A Phoenix just emerged from our sun…. It’s now flying towards… us… //

screaming and fire breaks through the audio
sounds of footsteps running and panting can be heard, a metal door slams
