Item #: SCP-3432
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All recovered instances of SCP-3432 and SCP-3432-4 are to be contained in standard Safe-class containment lockers in Site-64. Testing with SCP-3432 requires either Level 3/3432 access, or permission from Senior Researcher Dr. Robert Marshall.
Description: SCP-3432 is the designation for currently thirty two (32) instances of the 1979 music album "The Wall" by the psychedelic rock band "Pink Floyd." SCP-3432 has been found in multiple forms of media, including but theorized to be not limited to: nine (9) instances on vinyl record, eight (8) on cassette tape, twelve (12) on discs with CD or DVD formants, and three (3) on multiple electronic devices in a mp3 format.
When an instance of SCP-3432 is played, it will manifest a memetic effect that causes the subject(s) listening to suddenly have a strong motivation to act on what they perceive as prominent conflicts they have with others, most usually others they perceive as significant in their personal life, or to involve themselves and others with social and political controversies and movements that they have interacted and/or have taken an interest with recently. This effect and motivation (referred to as SCP-3432-1) manifests when listening to a track on SCP-3432 with subject matter or content which the subject relates to their own perception of their personal life or social and political controversies of interest.
If the subject does not act to sate SCP-3432-1, then the strength of SCP-3432-1 within the subject's perception will increase over time, and the subject will increasingly focused on sating SCP-3432-1. If the subject perceives or comprehends that they are in a situation or state where they cannot sate or act on SCP-3432-1 in any mattet, then it will become dormant within said subject, until said subject percives they are in a situation or state in which they can act on or sate SCP-3432-1, or they expire. If 3432-1 is dormant for more than approximately thirty six (36) hours, than it will resurface in an amount of time that roughly corealates with the amount of time SCP-3432-1 was dormant, after the subject perceives their state or situation has changed.
SCP-3432-2 refers to series of messages that have been found along side currently twenty two (22) instances of SCP-3432. Sixteen (16) instances were secured and given to the Foundation by PoI-9641 (Michael O'Neil) on 06-21-2017, with the rest being secured via intelligence and aid from PoI-9641. All but one instance are in physical form1, being on a white 10in. X 10in. paper card, with both sides reading as follows:
"Front" Side of SCP-3432-2:
[Three Moon Symbols] Initiative.
You Are Watched. You Are Protected. You Are Loved.
Glory to JALAKÅRA.
"Back" Side of SCP-3432-2
Amor vincit omnia.2
To: [Subject who originally acquired the instance of SCP-3432 and 3432-2]
Interference of this type is not common for us.
We have reached a consensus that this is necessary.
We only have this to say:Listen to the music.
Listen well, and closely, and let it empty out your heart of what you feel deeply.
Let it present that truth to you.
Then go, and make your world a better place.
Go forth with no fear, knowing that:You Are Watched. You Are Protected. You Are Loved.
SCP-3432-3 is the designation for currently ten (10) instances of SCP-3432 that are were anomalously produced by PoI-9641 and have a fundamental difference from original SCP-3432 instances. Two (2) are in vinyl record, four (4) on disc/DVD, and four (4) on a hard drive in an mp3 format. Instances of SCP-3432-3 closely resemble SCP-3432 in their properties, but motivates the subject to create anomalous art, or anart, that is associated with or has many similarities with anart produced by GoI-5869 (Gamers Against Weed).
SCP-3432 and was first discovered in the aftermath of a series of raids on several apartment buildings in [REDACTED], Oregon on 3/29/2018 in an investigation on the whereabouts of PoI-9641, who is was associated with GoI-5869, after a local Foundation agent received an anonymous tip. At 1629 hours PoI-9641 was found and apprehended, as well as several instances of SCP-3432 and SCP-3432-4 discovered and secured. PoI-9641 then was interviewed and cooperated with the Foundation in securing other instances of SCP-3432 and SCP-3432-4, and proving intelligence on activities and locations of two other PoI's associated with GoI-5869. Using intelligence given by PoI-9431, Foundation agents secured PoI-8761 and documentation on the whereabouts of PoI-79963, as well as secured documentation on SCP-2293, SCP-████, and other activities of GoI-5869.

Transcripts Of Interviews With PoI-9641:
Interviewed: PoI-9641, Micheal O'Neil, 26 year old American man.
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Dr. Robert Marshall
Foreword: Subject interviewed had been cooperative with Foundation agents during capture and confinement, and had requested to be interviewed.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Marshall: Good Afternoon, Mister O'Neil.
PoI-9641: Same to you, mister….. Senior Researcher Doctor Robert Marshall. Well, if you don't mind me saying, that's quite the title there sir. So, Doc Marshall, what does the Foundation need to ask me?
Dr. Marshall: First off, why did you insist on being interviewed?
PoI-9641: Well….. It's kinda like….. keeping a secret, you aren't supposed to tell anybody, but you get this urge inside of you to just say it at least once, to somebody, to something, just to let it out. To let it be known so that thr burden is no longer yours. Besides that, you're the Foundation! You guys help protect….. normalcy? I think that's the word. You guys help keep quote-un-quote normal people, or civilians, like myself safe and make sure that nobody finds out that we all might die tomorrow due to some cosmic Lovecraftian entity that we cannot even begin to comprehend and cause a worldwide panic, causing everybody to lose their cool. To be honest, I've heard you guys can do some pretty messed up stuff that I wouldn't necessarily agree with, you do it because of the greater good. You do it, because it's better than most other options you have, you're not bad, just forced to choose the lesser evil. I can empathize and agree with that to an extent, that is something I can get behind, so I want to help you to your work, or at the very least, make your job slightly easier. Also, one last thing, as a…. foreword I guess, don't try to use any amnesiac's or amnestics or whatever it is that you guys use to mind wipe, cause that junk doesn't really work on me, just makes my memory a bit fuzzy. Even if I wanted to get rid of this knowledge, I couldn't. All it'd do is make me forget some random shit, like what I had for breakfast on that one Sunday in the summer of '06.
Dr. Marshall: [Laughs] Well, I can certainly see you're very….
PoI-9641: Eccentric? Insane? Hyperactive? Hyperbolic? Slightly Incoher-
Dr. Marshall: I was going to say knowledgeable but frankly, some of those do describe you well. I mean no offense, of course.
PoI-9641: None taken. Trust me, I understand and agree with that.
Dr. Marshall: So, do you know where SCP-3432 came from, how it is, or was, produced?
PoI-9641: You mean… the albums? The anomalous Pink Floyd ones?
Dr. Marshall: Yes, those ones, I believe you may habe mentioned them during your talk with our agent? Anyhow, do you know where they come from, or how they are produced?
PoI-9641: That's kinda a…. let's say complicated answer. Some, admittedly, have been "produced" by me, though I'm not the one who originally created it, but I was the first person to obtain one, and I do in a sense, know who produces the ones I don't. Though that is also, in it's own sense, a…. let's say complicated answer.
Dr. Marshall: Alright, how about you tell us how you came into possession of this instance of 3432?
PoI-9641: Alright, sounds good. Just keep in mind that this may take some time, as It's quite the story in my own opinion. So…. this was back in, I think about the beginning of December 2015, I was feeling…. down I guess. It might just have some sesonal depression, but I was just generally depressed, just unmotivated, to do anything, as I really didn't have much going for me. Just some P-O-S college student that can barely get by doing random odd jobs across town that no one cares about except some artistic shitposters on the other side if the world. So, I'm just sitting there, at the side of my bed, questioning what the hell I'm to do with my life. So, I argue with myself for awhile, and I try to go to sleep, which I can't in case of my mind being hyperactive twenty-four-seven, so I take some Ibuprofen, and put on some Pink Floyd. Can't remember exactly what song or album, but I fell like that it was from The Wall, I think you'll discover why here in a bit. So that lets me drift asleep, as it usually does. While asleep I have this…. vision, or maybe more like a message, in my dreams, it says that….. I can do more, that I can do better, but not just that. It shows me all this… suffering in the world, this insane nightmare that is reality, and then tells me that I can do something about it. That while some, and admitaly most things in life can suck, there's just as much, if not more shit to be excited and happy for. That if we all can work together, there's something great…. "beyond the wall" I think. Something along those lines, and it just speaks to me so much, still to this day, on such a spiritual level.
Then, I wake up, and I find, right outside the door of my apartment, a whole box full of albums of "The Wall," and I am just blown away by what I assume to be a huge coincidence, and take them inside. Right in front, I see one of them is addressed to me, with a note, and it feels… wierd, like looking some circus mirror, like it's staring at me with the same stare I'm using to stare at it. So I open it, the message like, kinda similar to one I'd seen at the begining of my dream. So I'm thinking "what in god's green earth is going on here," and I start playing it, and I get this vibe, similar to the one I had while dream, it just is so… inspirational. Just giving off this scent of pure, unadulterated imaginative ecstasy, and just, for some reason, it like, kinda pulls my head back over to the box. So, I look over to the other contents of the box, and the rest of 'em are all addressed to other peeps I know. Some are friends, distant family, some I knew from my time on tour, others I just…. happen to know, but they're all kinda… like me, down in the dumps, they got the big D, good ol' depression, in one way or another. So then, I get an epiphany. These people, they're depressed, like me, and need something like this to inspire them, to get them on the right track, and make the world a better place. So I start, anonymously, delivering these packages to these people I know, and more show up, and I just kept delivering them.
Eventually, some of these guys over at G-A-W, which I was in at the time, convince me to make these tapes, but they have me make 'em so that it makes people start doing their type of shit, making anart, I mean. I disagree, but they insist that it's going to be "fucking sweet" and I just play along. Anyway, that shit really doesn't matter now, it's kinda unimportant. I did that for awhile, but, eventually, I'm back where I started, depressed, but now they're making me make and deliver these albums that are just furthering their agenda, so I'm feeling… practically suicidal. I'm thinkin' "is this what I'm going to do for the rest of my life?" and that bums me out, and I just have, again, no more motivation. So, in one last action of desperation, I put on the original album that I had, and I get that same feeling, but this time, THEY spoke to me. DIRECTLY.
Dr. Marshall: I'm assuming by "They," you mean the original creators of SCP-3432?
PoI-9641: Yeah! They told, well…. more like gave this knowledge to me, about the "bigger picture," about you guys, and what I can do to help and stay "on the right path," that I needed to go to you guys, and that you could help me. So, I start digging through my contacts within the world of the anomalous, and I find a few agents of yours. I anonymously tipped off one of your agents about my location, and you guys raided my apartment, and here we are! I'd say they were quite right about you being the "good guys." At least…. in some sense.
Dr. Marshall: Well, that is quite the story, Mr. O'Neil-
*PoI-9641:** Please, I knkw you guys like to be all formal and professional, but call me Mike, or Michael, whichever you prefer.
Dr. Marshall: Alright, so Michael, how did you come into contact with the group Gamers Against Weed?
PoI-9641: Oh, I…. Uh… Look, Marshall. I just… don't really like to talk about that. It's still a sore subject for me. I just…
Dr. Marshall: Mr. O'Neil, we need to know any information you have on Gamers Against Weed, so if you have anything on-
PoI-9641: I know I'm not being really helpful right now but…. I just…. I can't…… I don't want to….. [Subject begins to cry]
Dr. Marshall: Alright…. I guess we will conclude this interview. Thank you for your time Mr. O'Ne- I mean, Michael.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: [Several chat logs pertaining to GoI-5869 were found on PoI-9641's personal computer. Once calmed, interviewing PoI-9641 resumed]
Interviewed: PoI-9641, Michael O'Neil.
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Dr. Robert Marshall
<Begin Log>
Dr. Marshall: Good morning to you, Michael.
PoI-9641: Same to you, Marshall.
Dr. Marshall: Please, call me Robert, or just Rob. [Laughs] whichever you prefer.
PoI-9641: [Laughs] Hey, I thought you guys were supposed to be uh, strict. Thought you guys didn't approve of this level of…. casualness.
Dr. Marshall: Normally, yes, but I don't think that my higher ups are quite interested in this case, so as long as we don't curse them out by name, I think we'll be fine.
PoI-9641: Alright, well I guess I'll start this off with what the albums actually do, in terms of the uh, affect. They're uh….. Memetic, I believe that's the word, right?
Dr. Marshall: If by that you mean their effect is based on the transfer of information in one or multiple forms, like a auditory memetic, then yes.
PoI-9641: Yeah, that's it. So, when you listen to it, they make you want to… Hm…. wait one sec, gotta think about this, it's kinda…. difficult to describe. So, you want to like, make up with people that you're on bads terms with, like if you had a huge blowout with your S-O, then it would make you want to apologize and make it better, or it can make you want to get involved in helping people out, like with social and political stuff. If you can't do that, then it just kinda like… hides and grows, within you, and the more you wait, the more it grows, but if you wait like a few days, then it'll be hiding for roughly the time you waited. So…. yeah. That's it really, I know it's kinda sparse, but that's really all I can put into words. For the most part you just can't describe it, it's not just an object it's a experience, you hear it, you tatse it, you just.. feel it.
Dr. Marshall: Well then… Alrigh- wait, not…. not quite yet Michael. You see we recovered these similar items during our raid, they're similar, but give off a different… feeling. From what we gather, they're based on the same, or a similar, principle of SCP-3432. I believe you mentioned them yesterday, but you mostly skipped over them. Do you know what we're talking about?
PoI-9641: I… Uh.. did I? Mention that? I don't……
[Interviewee remains quiet for several minutes]Dr. Marshall: Michael, I know you mentioned them, I remember, are you-
PoI-9641: I don't…. I thought those were gone…… Look, I made those, and I… just fucking regret it. Some of…… of, the guys, over at the G…….. the made me do it. They make you want to create, like, shitty version of a G-A-W art, and it makes you agree, like, with their agenda and that shit. It's a sick fucking joke, the sickest one, it's disgusting. I wish that I wasn't there, and that it never happened, but it did, I did do that, and that's……. And I…. a-and I wish those albums would just, FUCKING DISAPPEAR! [Pounds onto table with fists] I… I… [Begins to cry] I don't…..
Dr. Marshall: Look, Michael, I get that you're still obviously dealing with these events emotionally, but please, as a…. colleague, I would like you to be more professional, so that you could help us more. If you need something, I can see if they'll get it for you-
PoI-9641: No, it's fine…. Just, just a sec….. Ok, I think I'm better, just let me-[Pulls out a cloth handkerchief, blows into it, goes to put it down, looks at where it was used.] Huh, I uh….. guess that tantrum of mine caused a nose bleed. Not….. really surprised, the uh, guys over at G-A-W always said that reality bending and emotions don't mix well. [Shows handkerchief to Dr. Marshall] See?Dr. Marshall: Wait I….. [Adjusts position of glasses] I'm… confused, how does a nose bleed and a emotional breakdown relate with reality bending? Please, enlighten me.
PoI-9641: Well… how do you do anything? How do you move, walk, talk, eat, smell, and blink? You will your body to do it. When you're controlled by emotions, your actions can get a bit…. irrational. The same is with reality bending, but on a much more extreme level, since you, or at least a part you, is connected to reality itself. A kid gets bullied, people tell him to get thick skin to get a stone chest, kills himself by turning his chest into literal rock. So… I try to hide most of my, "negative" emotions. The ones that result in…. well [points to blood soaked handkerchief] this. But I guess that sometimes you just gotta let it all out. That's why I'm always like this, erratic I mean. That's me, the REAL me, the one that would normally be covered up by some two-cent simle and thousand dollar suit in modern society. It's the person I want to be, funny, encouraging, always looking on the bright side, but expecting the worse. That's also kinda why I love The Wall, but I'm rambaling, please continue.
Dr. Marshall: Well, why are you so… emotional whenever Gamers Against Weed is brought up? I'm sure you have some sort of emotional connection to them, but I didn't expect you to be as emotional as… that.
PoI-9641: Well, they were, and still are, my friends. Even though it was mostly just shitposts and gags, we loved it, as we just saw it as lighthearted fun. We had a good time with it, even talked about some stuff that could be kinda… profound, in a way. They might be seen as anartists, but at heart, they're just regular people looking for others like themselves, the ones who are on the internet twenty-four-seven, that just love to chat and share their opinions on stuff, not letting anyone else hold them down, to show their real self. That's why I joined them, for the most part. I'll be honest, I did consider Are We Cool Yet, but they're fucking heartless. They don't care about others, just themselves and their art, the "Coolness" and the "Message" of it. They never really think about the "bigger picture," though I guess that the G-A-W is also guilty of that, to an extent.
Dr. Marshall: What do you mean by the, "Bigger Picture?"

Addendum 3432-2: SCP-3432 Testing Logs-1,-2,-5, and -8:
Subject: D-41296, a forty two (42) year old American man.
Procedure: Listening to full album of SCP-3432
Results: SCP-3432-2 manifested during track number seventeen (#17) "Vera," at approximately the 0:29 second mark, where the lead singer (Roger Waters) mentions British singer "Vera Lynn" and goes on to mention the song "We'll Meet Again" which was originally recorded by said artist. D-41296 is seemingly surprised by this mention, and asks personnel if he can contact his mother (Sarah Adams.) When denied, subject asks again, to which personnel do not respond, and the subject starts to repeatedly aspek rsonnel, becoming increasingly more agitated and desperate. After five (5) minutes and seventeen (17) seconds of asking from the subject, personnel accept, he is given a #2 pencil, and a sheet of blank white paper. When concluded, personnel take the letter, where it is expunged of any sensitive information, and mailed to Sarah Adams.
Analysis: When questioned later about the test, D-41296 said that his mother was a "big fan of Vera Lynn," but could not provide any examples of song recorded by the artist except "We'll Meet Again," and when questioning Sarah Adams, she claimed that she was "not a huge fan of Vera," and had only heard of the track "We'll Meet Again."
Transricpt Of Audio Report From Dr. Marshall: "It seems that SCP-3432-2 can create or implant false or warped memories in an instance of SCP-3432-1. So, what Micheal O'Neal, AKA PoI-9641, told us is at least partially true, and at least we're getting some progress done, with what we have… *muffled* more like what we don't have…"
Subject: D-40921, a twenty seven (27) year old British woman.
Procedure: Listening to a full album of SCP-3432, playing stopped after end of song where SCP-3432-2 manifests and subject confined in cell for twenty four (24) hours with no contact to personnel, except for essential needs.
Results: SCP-3432-2 manifests during ending of track number twenty four (#24) "Stop," D-40921 begins to cry into her hands, subject is then immediately confined in cell for twenty four (24) hours as described above, during which subject hit the walls and door of the cell with her fists for approximately three (3) hours and thirty one (31) minutes, after which she lays on the floor, facing the ceiling, and falls unconscious. Subject regains consciousness eight (8) hours and twenty six (26) minutes later, and proceeds to "occupy herself" during the remaining time. When released, subject immediately asked personnel if she can contact her brother, (Samuel Christen) personnel accepted the request, and she is given a #2 pencil and a sheet of blank white paper, When concluded, personnel take the letter, where it is expunged of any sensitive information, and mailed to Samuel Christen.
Analysis: When questioned later about the test, D-40921 claimed that the material mentioned by the lead singer 'reminded me of this… imprisonment, this punishment, and how much I would give to see my family, my brother, his wife, and my nephew. God, little Adrian, I just miss him so much I miss those times…. just…. so much.' and that during the test she 'couldn't stop thing about them, their lives, how much they've changed and grown. I eventually forgot it but it just came back, with so much more energy. This desire, it pounded in my head, with the strength of a barrage of nuclear fire.'Transricpt Of Audio Report From Dr. Marshall:
"So, Mr. O'Neil is still ringing true, and it seems that SCP-3432-2 can enter dormant stage and the return when the situation changes, and that SCP-3432 'grows' even when dormant, but we should explore longer periods of confinement. Though that might require some convincing of the Site Directors, as they're not quite lenient on handing out D-Class like candy lately."
Subject: D-41942, a thirty five (35) year old American man.
Procedure: Same as above, but confinement raised to one hundred and twenty (120) hours.
Results: SCP-3432-2 manifests during the second half of track number twenty three (#23) "Waiting For The Worms" during which the subject is "slumped" over in his chair, and beings to cry. Subject is then immediately confined for one hundred and twenty (120) hours, during which he is sat down, crying, for two (2) hours and nineteen (19) minutes. The subject "occupies" themselves for the remainder of the time. A week after being released, the subject asked personnel for literature on the history of The Nationalist Socialist German Workers' Party5, the political landscape and culture of Germany from the 1930's to 1940's, and the modern "Neo-Nazi" political parties within Europe and America. Request denied by personnel.
Analysis: When questioned by personnel, D-41942 claimed that his grandfather severed as an American infantryman in World War II , and had been a photographer for a local newspaper, and had kept pictures of German concentration camps that he had took during his service. While we could not find out about his photography career, we could confirm that he had served in the United States Armed Forces as an infantryman in WWII from 1942-1946.Transricpt Of Audio Report From Senior Researcher Marshall: "Alright, this serves as the first documented case of an SCP-3432-1 instance being drawn to political and/or social issue. So it looks like Mr. O'Neil wasn't cutting us ANY bull during that interview. Most, if not all, of what he said has been accurate to what our tests report. Still tough, I feel that this procedure of testing is ineffective, we are getting places, but slowly. In fact I think too slowly, as there's been talk of budget cuts to some of the more 'unimportant' testing sites around here. You know what that means, right? …. *sigh* ….let me ask you this, why in the name of god would 05 Command, the Ethic Committee, or even the Site Directors care about some anomalous rock albums made by some shitlord liberals that just create crappy anart all day? As long as it doesn't have the ability to compromise normalcy or end our world or all reality, they just don't give a flying fuck. They just don't, this is what you get for being interested in 'unimportant' things. Just a big 'fuck you' in the face."

Transcript Of Audio Report From Dr. Marshall:
"Quite a lot of people ask me, 'why?' Why I picked myself as the 'lab rat' for this test. Trust me, there has been speculation, rumors, most of which make me question if what I'm reading isn't the actual effect of 3432. Some say I was jealous, that I wanted to feel that thrill, that 'space cadet glow' that the D-Class had, or perhaps I wanted answers, that I've been having problems with my wife, that there is 'something' going on between us, whatever that means. Some of the more paranoid or inquisitive staff say that I was, well, suicidal, that perhaps in some naive attempt at release, I submitted myself, hoping that, for some stupefying reason, it would make my head explode, or turn me inside-out, or some gibberish like that. In reality, there were mostly just two reasons.
One, we were rejected for our request for D-Class…*laughs* Seriously! We were cut off! They just sent us a nice, flowery email, that when you skimmed through all the bullshit, was actually just a huge middle finger to me and my team, saying that we were no longer being sent, really any supplies to actually help us test. So, what else could I do? Yes, I could send in a younger, more inexperienced researcher, but anyone could see how risky that was. So, I had enough of this crap, this bureaucratic incompetency, so I decided to 'sacrifice' myself.
Two, even if we had D-Class, I doubt we would use them. Yes, we have gotten results, but all of the results we have gotten from them is just quantifiable answers, how long does X last for, how long does Y take, but what we REALLY lacked is a more…. scientific explanation of what happened down in their minds, What we needed, is a person like one of our own, to experience it for themselves, to inspect it, to run it down with a fine comb. Yes, Mr. O'Neil has been, so far, very complying with assisting The Foundation, and being transparent with what the effects of SCP-3432 are, instead of lying to us and making up some insane gibberish about it, for example, blowing up the moon. Yet still, we needed to confirm none of these were just lucky predictions or coherent fever dreams he had been 'gifted' with. We needed to know what it was like, to write it down just moments after it happened. We needed to go into the cave, and see just what happened, just what was there. And we did, or rather, I did.
So, my experience was…. interesting, perhaps even rejuvenating, it was almost religious in a sense. Let's start from the beginning of this…. predicament. As some of you may know, my current standing with the Foundation hasn't been the best lately, most because of our new lack of funding which we were promised and, believe it or not, somewhat REQUIRE for our tests. It costs time and money to do this, and while it may seem straightforward to play some music and see what happens, we need to be sure that no hazards or points of interest are in objects we recover. We need to cover such a wide variety of matter that only a few people in my team will know what procedures and equipment we actually need at the time. We're told to check for "Hume Levels" and "Memetic Resistances" and god knows what else, when half of us don't even know the first thing about this shit. And when we request additional assistance with these matters, they always deny our requests! If you want us to test for this crap, then send us person who knows how to check for it, or if you're too stuck up to do that, at the very least, mail over a goddamn instructional pamphlet!
Sorry, I am just… extremely frustrated as you can tell. So, that was fresh in my mind at the time. Another thing that I was thinking about, and probably mentioned during my breakdown, was Linda Marshall, my spouse. I… well, I love her, shocking I know. I haven't seen her since December, it's been practically half a year since we've made contact. I'd wanted to speak to her in some way, any way, but I just couldn't find the…. the words, I guess. I've been stuck here, in a stuffy office job, getting shafted by the Site Directors, while I could be doing anything with her. I would kill to just do something with her again, cooking, baking, biking, hiking, even just some idle chat chat with her would be great. So, them's were my thoughts at the time, and it held me, cradelded me, grasped me in it's infinity and it said that everything was… alright. It comforted me, said that I should be upset, that it's normal to get angry. told me to just…. connect them, the people in my life. To just write a letter home, do some therapy, jog around the site a bit, just find something to bide my time here. It may not be much, but it can go a long way, and for now, it's all I have. Now, I guess, I'm more relaxed, more…. understanding, of why the way things are. I'm still upset that I'm stuck in a bureaucratic mire, but eventually, I'll get my time in the spotlight, even if just for fifteen minutes, I'll get there. It's definitely interesting, the effects, I mean, the whole experience is just, like a magnificent blur, and you know what? I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Yes, I know, I sounded like I was on the brink of insanity, of mental collapse, but that's what it does. It forces you to confront what you don't want to feel, what you've repressed, and makes you accept it, to act on it, to make yourself a better person, and by effect make the world, at the very least, a slightly better place. It forces you to the darker side of yourself, it pounds the image of it in your head, and never lets up, and presents to you the opportunity to make that better. Weather you're like me and have been missing someone in your life, either literally or figuratively, and forces you to be 'coming home' or writing home, or it reminds you of the suffering others endure, and makes you help them even just a little, it helps people. It's downright therapeutic. Hell, If it served me a cappuccino in the morning and brought me my sandals, I'd say it's worthy of a Thaumiel classification.
So there, no more tests required, we've cracked the enigma code people! The secret to life all this time was SCP-3432. There, even when the 'big wigs,' the 'fat cats' up top have tried everything to discourage and hinder my team and our goal, I've done my job, we've done our job. We have done what no one else wanted to do, and now we have made the world a better place."
