SCP-4878

Item #: SCP-4878

Object Class: Elucid

Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-4878’s onboard Light Jump Engine the ship maintains its ability to teleport and will do so randomly though usually just before or after any foundation attempt to contain it. Because of this and it’s safe nature it is simply monitored and hidden from the world to prevent any nation becoming aware of a British naval ship aimlessly traversing the ocean.To end British testing of Light jump engines Foundation agents were dispatched to destroy any record of the project along with the memories of anyone involved with the project. As of now SCP-4878 is steaming towards Antarctica from the southern coast of it’s destination, the Falklands.
Description: SCP-4878 is a British battleship named “Dawn Bringer”. SCP-4878 is 152m long and is highly similar to the British Type 45 Destroyers. The Primary difference that distinguishes SCP-4878 from other vessels is it’s experimental “Light Jump” Engine. This engine was designed to be capable of teleporting the ship thousands of kilometers in an instant and if successful would have been used by the British Navy to dominate smaller countries. The ship was planned to go on its maiden voyage to the Falklands with 300 crew and to the land it’s Royal Marine detachment on the shore before teleporting back to England. The test went wrong and for three days the ship was missing. At the end of the three days the ship was spotted in the middle of a field in Serbia.
At this point the foundation stepped in to secure it at which point it engaged it’s light jump engine and disappeared along with 32 scientist and MTF that were onboard. When it was recovered three days later in the Pacific ocean, the ship was entirely empty of all but the Anomalous beings which will be later.

No being has survived a Light Jump from SCP-4878 and no bodies have been recovered from those sent but from what has been found, namely the audio diary of one Dainel Wesk who was a Royal Marine on the ship. We believe the Light Engine goes to a place outside space and time, the people subjected to the region call it “the wall of reality”. Due to the fact that time does not properly flow in this place peoples bodies are unable to grow hungry or require sleep. They are also unable to die and will simply awaken two days later if their bodies are destroyed. Madness is believed to not be because of any anomalous factor but merely the madness that would logically occur for humans isolated inside a small space for an extended period of time. The reason that only a select few survive the initial arrival in the anomalous region and the reason the ship returns to our reality is unknown.

The few in person investigations conducted on SCP-4878 have suggested that some amount of the original crew and it’s victims have remained onboard. These manifest as either whispers and voices heard of the original crew or temporary appearances of the former crew. It appears these appearances change when they are from and also appear to be reenacting their actions from life. One scientist reports a young man in a well maintained military uniform, believed to be Daniel Wesk walk around a corner down a hallway then a second walked out dirty, unshaven, and his clothes were so worn down he was practically naked and he appeared to be completely unphased by this suggesting they were two different versions of him from two different times.Other crew and several foundation members were also seen and believed to be visions until one appeared to notice a MTF member and grow enraged before attacking all the Foundation members he could find. 2 Hours after the subject had killed 4 agents and eventually being gunned down by an MTF operative the entire scene had disappeared and the names of the 4 dead are still unknown as no one can remember their faces or names.

Blask: This is Major Jonhathan Blask of the Royal Navy, we are about to test a new type of battleship called a Dawn Bringer. The ship has the ability to teleport itself across the planet, it’s only been tested in country but we are being sent to put it to its max. We will be teleporting to the Falklands in two days. This will be interesting.

Wesk: This is lance corporal Daniel Wesk of the Royal Navy, We were on route to away from The Falklands when our Light Jump engine failed mid-jump, we have no idea where we are. There aren’t even stars or waves out, I’m worried will never- Fucking checker can you stop your unholy whistling!

Checker: Stop your complaining, your acting like this is the end for us, the Queen will pick us up, slap us on the wrist for nearly dying then throw us back into service.

Wesk: I don’t think it’s that simple, I don’t think the Navy can save us here, it's like we are in nowhere.

Checker: Tell me about it, Lace can’t get comms connected to anywhere.

Wesk: No it's like we are in nowhere, I just get the feeling that people aren’t supposed to come here.

Checker: Oh shut up.

Wesk: Checker don’t hide it, you know something's not right here. I mean for fuck sake the ship went from 300 crew aboard to 4.

Checker: They probably just go blown up in the malfunction.

Wesk: It's been more than a week since we got stuck here, I haven’t been able to sleep and I haven’t needed to eat, it’s like I just don’t want to but i’m still doing it. There's nothing to do here, Checker was talking to me about the 10 codes in the manual for 3 hours and it was the only thing I did today.

Wesk: Food won’t last us much longer, not that we need it. We have no idea why either. Lace Has been spending days at a time in the workshop and Blask hasn’t left the bridge, he had a lock put on the bridge doors but he put in the code while I was watching it, it's 4453. I don’t think I'll use it though ca-

*Doors open*

Lace: COME QUICK I THINK CHECKERS DEAD!

Wesk: What happened?

Lace: Pipe blew up on him, he’s not looking good.

Wesk: Is Blask going to help?

Lace: He said we had to deal with it.

Wesk: Fuck!

Wesk: How is this possible, we checked his pulse?

Lace: He lost half his face, pulse doesn't matter when your brain is out of your skull.

Wesk: But we both saw him this morning

Lace: He doesn't even know what happened, But it’s him. Tattoos, Face, teeth, even voice

Wesk: You don’t think it has anything to do with the food thing.

Lace: I don’t know, all I know is we gotta get saved soon or I don’t know what's going to happen to us.

Wesk: Are we going to tell him?

Lace: Better not, knowing you were dead for three days doesn't sit well

Wesk: Where's his body?

Lace: Gone. But he didn’t come from where the body was

Wesk: No, he came from the engine room.

Checkers: Hey guys, what are we talking about
Lace: Nothing! How are you feeling?

Checker: An Ear?

Wesk: Yes

Checker: In the wall?

Wesk: Yes! I jogging to get my mind off the time and i saw this ear, a human fucking ear sticking out of the wall!

Checker: Your fucking with me

Wesk: No I'm not! It was there and I could hear noises coming from it

Checker: Noises?

Wesk: Yes

Checker: From a human ear in the wall of a metal ship?

Wesk: Yes, it was like thousands of whispers then, it said “We found refuge in the walls”

Checker: You know ears don’t usually make noise.

Wesk: Fuck you, do you believe me or not?

Checker: Maybe but it doesn't seem possible

Wesk: It's been 99 days on the Dawn Eye before we lost control at sea and today was somehow the first power outage, It was the first time in 2 weeks that Lace left his workshop, he won’t tell us what he’s doing in there but sometimes i hear things from the workshop, there not good things, but Blask is still intent on maintaining rank structure so Checker can’t do shit to him. The blackout lasted about 4 hours till Lace found a way to fix it. The whole time I was looking for my torch because i lost it a while ago and the whole time I was stumbling through the dark I could hear people, people who we lost during the hyperspace failure, it was coming from everywhere and it was deafening but it was also like…weightless.

Wesk: And you’re sure it’s the code

Checker: It’s the workshop code alright

Wesk: But how did you get it

Checker: He must have been tired because he just walked past me, I was waiting for him at the door and he walked right passed me, put in the code and it went in.

Wesk: But how was he tired, our vital scanners have logged no sleep in 160 days.

Checker: Look, you can complain about how it doesn't make sense but tomorrow I'm going in there and i’m going to find out what he’s hiding from me.

Wesk: If you go in without me I’ll kill you.

Checker: If only you could.

Wesk: Oh yes!

*door opening*

Checker: now lets get in, find out what h- WHAT THE FUCK

Wesk: Lace couldn’t do this.

Checker: I am the only person besides him who knew the codes. He did this. Holy shit there's got to be at least 10 bodies here.

Wesk: These are human skulls, this shit is made of humans.

Checker: Thats means these are the rest of the crew. He knows where they are.

Wesk: Maybe something else did this…maybe it was Blask.

Checker: Blask Hasn’t left the Bridge in 4 months, Lace is here all the time.

*foot steps*

Lace: Why are you here

Wesk: Lace! What is this why are doing this shit to the crew.

Lace: These are no longer the crew, the walls took the crew. They gave me what they don’t want.

Checker: Bull shit. Where are they and what the fuck are those creatures.

Lace: They are those who were in the walls before us. Soon we will share their fate.

Wesk: What do you mean the walls.

Lace: That's where we are Wesk, we are in the walls of the universe, we are between universes. No one will ever find us here. Not even death.

Checker: What does that mean.

Lace: Why do you think we don’t eat or sleep.

Checker: *Cocks gun* STOP FUCKING LYING YOU CUNT!

Wesk: why the fuck did you bring a gun.

Checker: It doesn't matter. LACE WHERE IS THE CREW.

Lace: The walls own them now.

Wesk: Why not, he fucking crazy

Checker: Dude he died, he might know something
