NullnNow Cthulu on Ice

Characters:
Dr. NAME
Been working at the foundation for several years, slowly been working up the ranks
Finally got a big break and was assigned as lead researcher for this scp
This is because he is from Antarctica and drilled ice with a college professor one year
Plans on drilling a small hole in ice to determine TODO
His left arm gets covered in barnacles then becomes a tentacle
This leads to the following fears:
- fear of becoming an SCP
- fear of losing the work and renown he had been building
Slowly needs to learn how to use tentacle + wright with his right hand (was left handed)

Ice Drilling:
Main goals: To determine whether or not the iceberg is shrinking or growing
To use the ice core to identify age of iceberg + compare it to surrounding ice
Process: use a mechanical to drill and retrieve a series of ice cores with a diameter of 50 millimeters and length of 5 meters. This process was repeated 10 times, the doctor getting increasingly paranoid and shoved 7 of the cores back in before being stopped by a researcher. the remaining 3 cores were kept and the hole filled with some spare ice core samples from surrounding ice sheets.
The doctor was speaking gibberish when retrieved

Learned the following: That the first 15 meters of the glacier are easily thousands of years older than the surrounding ice
That it is shrinking at a slightly faster rate than it should be, although it is unclear if this is anomalous in nature

Took ~3 hours to get the 10 cores, ~20 minutes of refilling before getting stopped

this incident led to a reclassification of safe to euclid

Other notes:
people stationed at SCP occasionally have dreams wherein they claim there is a creature in the ice, but fail at elaborating when pushed for further details. Unusually high rates of anxiety, paranoia, insomnia, and depression.

Item #: SCP-xxxx

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX should be regularly monitored to track any irregular size changes or sudden collapses. MTF-Khione is in charge of convincing various industries and countries of implementing environmentally friendly practices, particularly those targeted towards eliminating and/or reducing the effects of climate change. MTF-Khione should also try and discredit sources and political figures arguing against climate change.

Description:
- Giant Iceberg discovered in xxxx
- located in south pole
- Personnel claim that there is some sort of monster at its center
- Psychological events
- A creature can be seen when viewed with thermo goggles?
- This 'monster' is believed to be the cause of incident xxxx

Test Log XXXX-A:

Date: June 12, 2013
Time: 11:00 AM

Procedure:
Use a mechanical drill to retrieve a series of ice cores with a diameter of 50 millimetres and length of 5 meters. These ice cores will be used to identify the age of the iceberg and will be compared to ice cores retrieved from surrounding ice sheets.

Results:
Over the course of 3 hours Dr. Fry proceeded to drill 9 ice cores, but as he was retrieving the 10th core he suddenly began placing the cores back into the hole. Upon noticing this, researcher Buick notified security who proceeded to subdue the doctor. Dr. Fry was described as "not lucid" and "rambling incoherent sounds". Three of the ice cores were recovered, and the next day the hole was filled with some extra ice cores obtained from the surrounding area.

Upon analyzing the remaining 3 ice cores it was determined that the first 15 meters of the glacier were thousands of years older than the surrounding ice. It was also determined that it was shrinking at a slightly faster rate than it should be, although it is unclear if this is anomalous in nature.

Took ~3 hours to get the 10 cores, ~20 minutes of refilling before getting stopped

Incident Log 1:

Date: June 12, 2013
Time: 11:00 AM

The following events occurred during Test XXXX-A. It is unclear how many of these events were related to SCP-XXXX nor are the total amount of deaths that resulted, although it is estimated to be in hundreds of thousands.

  • 12:25 AM - A tornado hit Mongolia
  • 12:47 AM - An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 occurred in Greenland
  • 1:06 PM - A meteor with a diameter of approximately 3 meters on impact landed in Brisbane, Australia
  • 1:12 PM - A tornado hit Egypt
  • 1:31 PM - A tsunami hit Japan
  • 1:40 PM - An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 occurred in Tokyo
  • 1:53 PM - It began hailing in Texas
  • 2:14 PM - All of New York lost power for approximately 7 minutes
  • 2:17 PM - An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.7 occurred in China

There was also a noticeable world wide spike in seizures, anxiety attacks, and heart attacks between 12:56 AM and 2:42 PM.

Further research as to whether or not SCP-XXXX is some sort of reality bender is currently pending.

Interview Log XXXX-1:

Date: June 13, 2013
Time: 3:00 PM

Forward: The following interview took place between site director Harrion and Dr. Fry. It should be noted that throughout this interview Dr. Fry could be seen periodically scratching his arms.

Dr. Harrion: Good evening Dr. Fry, how are you doing?
Dr. Fry: Better, still a bit sore, but better.
Dr. Harrion: So can you recall what happened yesterday?
Dr. Fry: Yeah. Things were going well at first, I managed to drill the first two cores without a hitch. However, as I began drilling the third core my mouth went dry and I remember feeling as though there were several piercing eyes staring at my back. I could feel my heartbeat quicken as I moved on to the fourth core, and the world almost seemed to shimmer. It was like I was a solitary ship sailing in a desert mirage.
As I began drilling the fifth core I began hearing a voice in the back of my mind. It wasn't human, nor was it intelligible, but its words still managed to fill me with dread. As I continued these feelings of dread and anxiety only proceeded to amplify, but something changed as I began retrieving the tenth core. I felt an overwhelming sense of wrongness. I knew that I had drilled too close to something, something bad. I decided to try and fill the hole before whatever it was that is buried could escape. The rest is a bit of blur.
Dr. Harrion: And were you aware of any of the events that occurred while you were drilling?
Dr. Fry: No.
Dr. Harrion: Thank you for your cooperation Dr. Fry. Before we disband may I ask if your arm is okay?
Dr. Fry: Huh? Oh, my arm. I tend to fidget when I'm nervous. I guess I'm just still a bit shook by yesterdays events.
Dr. Harrion: Alright.

Conclusion: No disciplinary actions were taken against Dr. Fry. Further research into whether or not SCP-XXXX is a memetic hazard is pending.

Test Log XXXX-B:

Date: June 15, 2013
Time: 12:00 AM

Procedure: SCP-XXXX and the surrounding areas will have their hume levels measured.

Results: SCP-XXXX and the surrounding areas displayed no abnormal hume levels, although Dr. Fry was accidentally measured as having a hume level of 1.02 while calibrating equipment. It should also be noted that Dr. Fry was scratching at his left arm and complaining that it felt stiff throughout the day.

Incident Log 2:

On June 15, 2013 it was recommended that Dr. Fry visit the on site medical doctor over concerns that he had a rash on his left arm.

On June 16, 2013 Dr. Fry visited the on site medical doctor, but it was discovered that numerous barnacles had begun forming on his left arm. Dr. Fry was immediately placed into medical observation.

Over the course of June 17 to June 18, 2013 barnacles began to cover Dr. Fry's left arm.

On June 19, 2013 said barnacles began falling off.

On June 20, 2013 all of the barnacles had fallen off. Dr. Fry's left arm became a tentacle with 23 suction cups. Dr. Fry seems to be unable to control the tentacle, accidentally smacking medical personnel and himself.

From June 21 to June 24, 2013 Dr. Fry began to control his arm. According to him it is like "learning how to ride a bike while doing a hand-stand". Dr. Fry has been assigned various hand eye coordination exercise to help him use both his tentacle arm and right arm*.

*Dr. Fry was left-handed before this incident. TODO - FOOTNOTE

TODO - interview log occuring on the 25th

Interview log with dr. INSERT about arm, happens 4 days after barnacles fell off
- mention that he is slowly making progress at controlling his arm, it no longer flails around at random whenever he tries doing something + no longer randomly attacking people by accident.

been taking more medication for stress than normal, when pushed for this his worries about being classified as an scp get mentioned + fear of demotion.

make bad joke to cope

eventually dr. INSERT gets stressed and tries face palming but accidentally knocks the microphone on the floor

Submarine found damaged by fishers
While exploring deep seas a submarines power system went out. Darkness swallowed the crew. Eventually they managed to turn on the lights, but when on they see a mass of writhing tentacles and claws and beaks and eyes and mouths charging towards them. They can only attack while in light. Eventually one crew left. Doesn't know if floating or sinking, killed other crews for using a flashlight. Forced to eat them due to starvation. Ends up embracing the dark, and becoming another limb for this creature. This guys thoughts found in subs radio system
