To: several people
Subject: July 2018 Site-17 Protocol Bacchus
Date: July 6th, 2018
To all,
You have been selected for this month's enactment of Protocol Bacchus - the containment methodology of SCP-3377 - at Site-17. You may have performed Protocol Bacchus at Site-17 before, you may have performed it at other sites, or you may have never performed it before: anyone is equally capable of executing the protocol. (For those of you that have never performed it before, let me assure you that it is a zero-danger protocol, and this is in no way punitive.)
For those of you familiar with Protocol Bacchus from another Site, a brief note: Site-17 has been selected as a testing ground for a slightly modified version of the procedure, with multiple individuals rather than two. This appears to be a more efficient version, and will likely be introduced to other Sites after the formal review.
For those of you that do not possess the proper clearance for SCP-3377, the following are the salient points of Protocol Bacchus:
Protocol Bacchus:
Selected personnel are to enter the Site-17 Wine Cellar and remove one bottle of wine. They are then to go to the Site-17 Administrative Dining Room and eat the prepared dinner, consisting at least partially of a rare steak in a Bearnaise sauce and a freshly-fried potato. They are to share the wine, and have a conversation over the dinner.Please be at the Site-17 Administrative Complex Lobby at 7:00 PM, July 13th. Formal dress is not required, but appreciated. Attendance is mandatory.
Thank you,
Site-Director Kennsington
Item Number: SCP-%
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: After the successful implementation of Containment Proposal %-2, the only current containment procedure necessary for the containment of SCP-% is the maintenance of Area-%, located on the grounds of Site-11. All tombstones in Area-% are to be routinely cleaned, and the surrounding area is to be kept clear of debris.
The Department of Analytics is to monitor world media sources for stories concerning the disappearance of bodies.1 If an instance of SCP-% gains notable notoriety, a suitable cover story is to be created.
Containment Proposal %-2:
Abstract: SCP-% has displayed intelligence in the burial of corpses, being able to detect where said bodies should be interned. By creating an area for it to operate and showing it where this are is, we can direct future instances of SCP-% into a small specific area.
- The bodies of individuals who have died without having been buried are to be interned at a new burial ground, henceforth referred to as Area-%. This explicit purpose of this burial ground is to be for the burial of individuals who would not otherwise be buried.
- Once the burial ground has reached sufficient burials as to be defined as a space for the burial of individuals who would not otherwise be buried, MTF Theta-13 ("Bring Out Your Dead") is to locate instances of SCP-%, recover the bodies and reintern them at Area-%. This process must be completed within 24 hours of removal from the grave, to ensure that SCP-% does not anomalously reintern the body.
- The same process is to be simultaneously performed for cremated ashes, interning such remains at a mausoleum built on the grounds of Area-%.
- The burial ground and mausoleum of Area-% are to be monitored for the presence of new SCP-% instances.
- If new burials are noted as occuring within Area-% and confirmed as SCP-% activity, this Containment Proposal will have been successful.[[/collapsible]]
Description:
- Buries dead bodies that wouldn't otherwise be buried
- Tends to go close, but sometimes goes further away if relevant (ie: family grave, closely related to subject, meaningful in some way)
- burials are given tombstones described the decesased
- If body is badly damaged or burned, ashes of subject are put into jars and delivered to appropriate places
- if a body is removed from a grave, it will be put back 24 hours after removal
- if the body is removed from a grave and then buried somewhere fitting, it will stay where it is
- if the body is removed from the grave and buried somewhere unfitting, it will go back 24 hours after removal
- if the body is removed and the burial process is underway 24 hours later, the body will stay where it is (ie, the body is found and given a wake 24 hours later, body stays.)
- nothing is ever actually observed: bodies magically disappear -> graves suddenly appear
Item #: SCP-9876
Object Class: Keter
Threat Level: Orange
Special Containment Procedures: One copy of each textual narrative containing SCP-9876 is to be kept within a Standard Secure Locker Unit at the currently designated site. (Currently: Site-56)
Copies of recorded performances of SCP-9876 are to stored on on an air-gapped computer located at the same containment site.
For reference, narratives and performances containing SCP-9876 are as follows:
- the dude and the quest Immortality
- //long discoverd cameo role - ie orignal author itended it, different guy used same character
- first series is the thing; second is sequel by new author that cameod character)
- first is thing; second is movie adaptation that cameos character)
All instances of SCP-9876 are to be kept within seperate Standard Humanoid Anomaly Containment Cells at the current
● CURRENT SITE: Site-56 |
Description: SCP-9876 is a sapient fictional construct lcated across six different textual narratives, designated SCP-9876-S. Instances of SCP-9876 pose no danger on their own, and only become dangerous when performed.2
when it becomes you, you might pick up some anomalies capabilities
- s.c.p.s
- description
- table
- interview with original author (PoI-9876) who ritualized the character
- interview with the scp
- expirement log
- they create the -10
- Proposal: can we add the following Foundation-loyal-Mary-Sue character to the file
"To act, to perform, is to become your character; and when you perform your character, your character becomes you."
just speaking a little or what not doesn't let it become you - must be deeper
character was famous for many years, at least in literary circles; leading to no need for foundation coverup; character was then used in play and BOOM that's bad
10 copies -> each slightly different; depending on actor and version
Foundation wrote up a -10 to be exactly what they wanted (including and interview and a testing log), THEN performed the interview (interview by Dr Thaumm or that murdery story dude), creating an entirely subservient instances that gives them all they want - ending
WARNING: interview has a note that ABSOLUTELY NO attempt should be made to read the following interview aloud or in any way even come close to performing it
you get choic eot add : YES / NO [yes = resurrection link]

UPDATE - JUNE 1928
happy ending
Harold Wodiew lived a rather uneventful life - or rather, as uneventful of a life as one could when you worked for the Foundation and were stationed in Sloth's Pit, Wisconsin. He was the Senior Archivist at the little site, storing the minor non-anomalous objects the Foundation wanted to hold onto, and all of their associated files.
He had recieved another shipment, from "ADRX-19". Checking with the records, he saw that it was the oldest Foundation site, back from the days before it was even called the Foundation. There had been an update - it was growing too old, and was being shelved, with everything being shipped off elsewhere.
Today, Site-87 recieved the first of their packages from the old base, a large wooden crate. It had been wheeled up to the bay doors of the Archives by a delivery man, and had stunned Harold when he read what was stamped to the side.
SCP-001 |
Harold looked at the delivery man, who only laughed and said, "You didn't hear? SCP-001 is dead."
Incident Report SCP-001 Neutralization
Date: 17/08/1961
Reporting Personnel: Sergeant Armington
Summary: This morning, a routine check of all anomalies contained within ADRX-19 indicated that SCP-001 was not moving. After entering the containment cell, armed guards recieved no hostile response from SCP-001.
Further medical investigation of the anomaly revealed that it was no longer breathing, and its heart had stopped beating. While little is known about the biology of SCP-001, it was confirmed that it both had a pulse and needed to respirate.
This comes at the end of long period of apparent old age from SCP-001. In the past decade, SCP-001 has been weaker and more sluggish than it was when initially captured, demonstrating significantly less violent behavior and fewer breach attempts.
It is likely, therefore, that SCP-001 merely died of old age.An autopsy for SCP-001 has been scheduled for 19/08/1961.
In the crate, Harold found nothing more than a pile of inhuman and strange bones, that belonged to something that should have never existed. The files he had been given were strange and outdated - they looked like they had been written decades ago and had never been updated.
He had heard legends about what SCP-001 was, little stories from here and there. The greatest failings of the Foundation and the Ethics Committee or secrets too terrible for the Foundation at large to know or terrible monsters. It happened all the time over lunch: "What do you think SCP-666 is? SCP-013? SCP-1000? SCP-001?"
He was disappointed, in a way, to know that it was nothing more than the first thing the Foundation ever threw into a box. There wasn't really anything important about it, not anymore, at least.
As Harold wheeled the crate containing the remains of SCP-001 to the back of the storage hanger, he mused to himself about how the Foundation had moved on. The documentation he recovered implied that SCP-001 had been crucial to some of the early decisions of the Foundation - Keter wasn't named after the Kabbalah but a German doctor, for instance.
So that's why it rhymes with Peter and not better?
SCP-001 Update Object Class
Date: April 21st, 1912
Summary: Following an assessment by the Foundation's Classification Committee, it has been decided to assign SCP-001 the Object Class of "Keter". This has been decided as a result of SCP-001's repeated attempts to escape containment and the high danger level of the anomaly.
The Object Classification system is an attempt to assign simple metrics and descriptors to anomalies under Foundation supervision. These will ideally allow for a simple way to communicate the danger level posed by an anomaly in the event of a containment breach. Some have objected to this system as dangerously reductive, but the Classification Committee has decided the benefits outweigh the results.
As a note especially pertinent to SCP-001: the first casualty caused by SCP-001 was Doctor Hermann Keter, who devised many Containment Procedures for some of the earliest anomalies in Foundation custody. The Keter Object Class has been named in memoriam to this doctor - his contribution to the Foundation was significant, and his death will be remembered for years to come.
Weeks after the bones of SCP-001 came in, Wodiew was still thinking about it. Something just didn't sit right with how something as influential as it was being treated. He had always assumed that SCP-001 was a cause for the foundation of the Foundation, rather than being as unimportant he discovered it to be.
One late night, just before he closed up the Archives for the night, Wodiew walked down the dank halls and found the crate that contained the skeleton. He cracked it open with a crowbar, and removed the skull.
The Foundation had never figured out where SCP-001 had come from, or what it was. All they knew was that it was a demon that screamed radiation. It had died before they could ever figure it out - not that it looked like they were trying very hard when did die.
He couldn't justify his feelings - there was just a gut instinct that SCP-001 was supposed to have been important. There wasn't any rhyme or reason for it, he had just heard too many rumors about what it was. But there was nothing that justified those feelings, and no reason it should be any different than the rest.
He raised the skull in his hand, examining it and turning it around, trying to find something that all those that had came before him had failed at doing, and failing at that.
Alas, poor SCP-001.
A creatured who was half-shark and half-man crawled out of the ocean on Australia. He had a mission, given to him by High Emperor Kavulak II himself - to rally his political allies and lead military operations against the usurpers of the world's greatest dolphin empire. He had been selected for this purpose by their top brass, modified for his mission, and then returned to the surface.
It was vital that he not fail in this mission, for too the Empire had invested far too much time in this action for them to ever look back. This man would find his allies, direct the military, and the Great Barrier Reef would be the Empire's once more, as destined.
The man had absolutely no intention of ever doing that. He had just got his immortality, and he was most definetly not spending it as the thralls of several fascist, rhetorical, and downright mad dolphins. But why not at least seeing about trying to contact his allies?
Soaking wet, he stepped into a phone booth. As soon as he dialed in and identified himself, the call began to be monitored by Foundation personnel, as a result of standard operation procedure concerning entities to claim well-known deceased individuals.
They took over the call not long after they began listening.
Agent Holmwood burst through of the door of the underground and swore. The vampires had dug out a pit on the basement of the warehouse, snaking into the ground. The other members of Gamma-7 ("Von Helsings") came in after him, guns up until they saw the whole. They swore too.
The second best vampire hunters in world3 descended into their favorite arena. Vampires quickly lunged out of their holes, but they were quicker - the slow died.
Vampires hissed and roared, and their cries were drowned out by the steel klaxons of the finest machine guns in the world.4 Dozens charged, and a hail of bullets answered them.
Then Holmwood whipped around a corner to seen an oddly docile vampire. He paused for a second before shooting, and then the face of the zombie rang a bell in his mind. A very specific bell.
"Are you-"
"I am Harold Holt, former Australian Prime Minister." [[footnote]]The former president of Australia, who disappeared during his term
"What the fuck?"
"Oh, you mean my immortality? Why, of course. I turned myself into a vampire. As long as this drink blood, I will continue to live."
"Why?"
"Well, I had always wanted to live forever, you see. Ever since I was a child. But I knew that could never be the case. Then, I get elected Prime Minister and then your-"
"Oh forget it. Don't shoot this one," he screamed to all of comrades.
