Noting that new site member RokiBoki (account age and membership 3 days) recently coldposted the following page, which has multiple obvious indicators of AI-generation: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8163/comments/show page title "Scp 8163 Egyptian dog"
Item #: SCP-8163
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-8163 is to be contained in a 10m x 10m reinforced containment cell at Site-176, with environmental enrichment appropriate for a domestic canine. SCP-8163 is to be monitored at all times via CCTV. Personnel interacting with SCP-8163 must undergo psychological evaluation before and after contact.
Access to SCP-8163 is restricted to Level 3 personnel and above. Under no circumstances are personnel allowed to follow SCP-8163 if it begins moving with apparent intent or attempting to lead individuals anywhere outside its containment.
All known locations of SCP-8163-led "wells" have been secured under Foundation control, with access restricted pending further study.
Description:
SCP-8163 resembles a medium-sized dog of indeterminate breed, bearing physical characteristics of an Egyptian Baladi dog, though with unusual heterochromatic eyes (one green, one pitch-black). Despite being first discovered in 1932 near Al-Fayyum, Egypt, SCP-8163 has shown no signs of aging.
SCP-8163 displays unusually high intelligence and seems capable of understanding complex verbal commands in multiple languages, including ancient Egyptian dialects. However, it does not vocalize or bark, instead communicating via body language and eye contact.
SCP-8163 periodically attempts to "lead" individuals to various subterranean wells located in remote desert regions. These wells, designated SCP-8163-A instances, contain a thick, black, non-reflective liquid of unknown chemical composition (designated SCP-8163-B).
If a human consumes SCP-8163-B, they undergo a rapid and irreversible transformation over the course of approximately 24 hours. This process includes:
• Extreme elongation of the jaw and neck
• Shedding of epidermal layers to reveal smooth, scale-like tissue
• Full restructuring of the spinal column and muscular system
• Significant cognitive and psychological alterations, including dissociation and loss of former identity
The resulting entities, classified as SCP-8163-C, possess heightened physical strength, heat-sensing capabilities, and venomous fangs. SCP-8163-C instances display aggressive behavior toward all humans except SCP-8163, toward which they exhibit signs of submission.
Addendum 8163.1 – Discovery:
SCP-8163 was discovered by British archaeologists during an expedition in 1932. After the disappearance of several team members, local reports described a “desert jackal” leading villagers to ancient, buried wells. Foundation agents embedded in the area recovered SCP-8163 and terminated initial SCP-8163-C instances.
Addendum 8163.2 – Hypothesis:
The markings found around the wells suggest a possible connection to pre-dynastic serpent cults, specifically the worship of Apep, the ancient Egyptian deity of chaos and serpents. It is theorized that SCP-8163 may have been a guardian or lure for a lost cult ritual involving transformation or sacrifice.
Addendum 8163.3 – Recovery Log (Excerpt)
Date: 23/09/1932
Location: Western Desert, near Al-Fayyum, Egypt
Field Team: Agent Graham (Lead), Agent Al-Masri (Linguistics), Dr. Carter (Biologist), 3 security personnel
[Begin Log]
08:42 – Team arrives at coordinates provided by local informants. Area consists of eroded sandstone structures, partially buried. The remains of three previous expedition tents are found, along with signs of a struggle. No bodies recovered.
09:15 – SCP-8163 is sighted sitting near a partially exposed stone well. Team notes its passive behavior, though several members report "a strong compulsion to follow it" when making eye contact. Agent Al-Masri reports hearing a low-frequency "humming" sound when approaching SCP-8163. No such sound is detected on audio equipment.
09:31 – SCP-8163 rises and begins walking toward the northeast dunes. Against protocol, Private L a member of the security personel follows. Attempts to recall him fail. He vanishes over a dune ridge.
09:46 – Team tracks SCP-8163’s path, finding Private L kneeling at the edge of another uncovered well, drinking a viscous black liquid from a cupped hand. His skin appears mottled and slightly scaled. He does not respond to commands.
09:49 – SCP-8163 sits a short distance away, watching. When approached, it makes no move to flee. Private L begins convulsing violently. Dr. Carter orders immediate retrieval, but is attacked by Private L, who now displays extended jawline and abnormal musculature. Fire is opened. Subject terminated.
10:02 – SCP-8163 remains unthreatening throughout the encounter. Agent Graham secures it using a standard animal transport cage. Subject does not resist.
10:40 – Perimeter secured. Two additional wells are located within a 500m radius, all emitting elevated EM readings and low heat signatures. Site quarantined for later extraction and study.

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8164 page title "Scp 8164 Soviet space station", posted without rating module, one edit to change numbers in two dates.
**Item #:** SCP-8164
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:**
Due to the object’s location in low-Earth orbit, SCP-8164 is monitored via Foundation-operated satellite array Sentinel-9. No other space agencies are to be made aware of SCP-8164's existence. Interception of its signal is to be masked using scrambled telemetry and false satellite data.
In the event of reentry or de-orbiting, MTF-Gamma-11 (“Black Skies”) is authorized to secure the site and eliminate any public witnesses. All material recovered from SCP-8164 is to be stored at Site-21 under High Clearance Lockdown.
All transmissions emitted from SCP-8164 are to be logged and decoded. Under no circumstances are personnel to respond to the signal without Level 4 approval.
**Description:**
SCP-8164 is a derelict space station of Soviet origin discovered in 2010 by Foundation orbital surveillance systems after detecting a continuous radio transmission on an unregistered frequency: 1420.3 MHz. The space station does not match any known design from the official Soviet or Russian space programs, and there are no records of its launch in any international aerospace registry.
SCP-8164 orbits Earth approximately once every 93 minutes at an altitude of 370 km. It is estimated to be around 26 meters in length and consists of multiple rusted modules, solar panels, and external hardware. The outer hull is heavily degraded, and radiation damage is extensive. However, internal systems remain partially functional, including its transmission equipment.
Despite its apparent age and decay, SCP-8164 continues to emit a looped signal in Morse code, repeating approximately every 9 minutes. Translated, the message reads:
**"COLD. DARK. THEY TOOK OUR NAMES. STILL ALIVE. STAY AWAY."**
Foundation attempts to board SCP-8164 via an unmanned probe revealed that environmental conditions inside the station are still pressurized. Life support systems are non-functional, but faint power signatures persist in the communications module and a sealed, central chamber.
**Addendum 8164-1: Boarding Mission Log (Redacted Summary)**
On 11/08/2011, an unmanned drone designated PROBE-354-A was deployed to make physical contact with SCP-8164. The probe successfully docked with the airlock and began transmitting data. Notable findings include:
- The station bears Soviet markings dated 1971, but no known mission from that year matches its specifications.
- Scans revealed three human remains in EVA suits. Despite near-complete skeletal degradation, the suits are marked with names of known cosmonauts who were officially declared dead in terrestrial incidents between 1969–1973.
- Inside the sealed central chamber, the drone’s cameras captured a pulsating organic mass roughly the size of a human torso, suspended in a containment frame. It appeared to respond to the drone’s light with brief electrical discharges.
- Before feed was lost, the drone picked up an additional message—this time in a distorted Russian dialect:
> "They are still here. We remember. You shouldn't have heard us."
**Addendum 8164-2: Signal Fluctuations**
On 02/10/2012, SCP-8164’s transmission frequency temporarily changed to match those used by the International Space Station. For 17 seconds, it emitted a synthetic voice repeating:
> "This is Vozvrascheniye-3. Mission incomplete. Let us go."
No known Soviet mission was ever designated Vozvrascheniye-3. Since this event, Foundation satellites have detected faint telemetry bursts, suggesting internal movement within SCP-8164.
**Note from Dr. Resnik:**
*"Either the Soviets launched something they buried hard, or they found something—and decided to keep it off the books. Whatever it is up there… it doesn’t want to be forgotten. And it’s not alone."*
**Addendum 8164-3: Manned Exploration Log**
**Mission Date:** 06/12/2012
**Team:**
- Lt. Commander Hale – Mission Leader
- Dr. Eliza Varnov – Xenolinguist & Historical Analyst
- Agent Keller – Security Specialist
- Agent Singh – Technical Engineer
**Transport Vessel:** Oculus-7, Foundation low-orbit shuttle
**Objective:** Board SCP-8164, retrieve physical data, investigate the signal source, and locate black box systems.
[BEGIN LOG]
**T+00:00:00**
Oculus-7 successfully docks with SCP-8164. The outer hull shows severe micro-meteorite pitting. The airlock resists at first, but yields after a secondary override. Inside is pitch-black. Oxygen levels are low but stable. The temperature is recorded at -12°C.
**Agent Singh:**
"Lights are flickering, power’s unstable. It’s a miracle anything still works."
**Lt. Cmdr. Hale:**
"Proceed with caution. Stick to the plan—Command wants that signal source."
**T+00:07:23**
The crew moves into the communications module. Rusted panels line the corridor, and remnants of old Soviet markings are visible. A faded slogan in Cyrillic reads: "Звезда будет помнить нас" – "The star will remember us."
**Dr. Varnov:**
"This isn't a standard Salyut-class module. There’s no official record of this configuration in Soviet blueprints."
They reach the comms chamber. A glowing device, jury-rigged from ancient tech and unfamiliar organic wiring, pulses gently.
**Agent Keller:**
"Is this Soviet tech? Looks... grown."
**Dr. Varnov:**
"No. This wasn’t made on Earth."
The pulsing increases as the crew approaches. The radio console suddenly activates, broadcasting the same message on loop—but now in English:
> "We remember the silence. We remember the dark. They taught us to listen."
**T+00:14:52**
Deeper into the station, they enter a sealed research chamber. Cryo-pods line the walls—several shattered. One still functions, barely. Inside is the mummified body of a cosmonaut. Name tag: Alexei V. Dragunov. According to historical records, Dragunov died in a launch pad explosion in 1970.
**Lt. Cmdr. Hale:**
"We need to take that black box and leave. Now."
**T+00:18:19**
As Agent Singh extracts the data core, the lights cut out. For seven full seconds, helmet cams show a dark humanoid silhouette at the far end of the corridor—floating. No heat signature. No EM output. It vanishes when lights return.
**Dr. Varnov (whispering):**
"He saluted."
**T+00:21:00**
Oculus-7 undocks without incident. The black box is sealed in containment. As the shuttle breaks orbit, SCP-8164 emits one final burst of Morse code:
> "We never came back. But you did."
**Post-Mission Findings:**
The black box contains corrupted video logs dated between 1968 and 1972, showing the original Soviet crew interacting with non-terrestrial organic matter—a symbiotic interface that appeared to merge with the ship’s systems. Final entry:
> "This vessel no longer belongs to Earth. If you find this... turn back."Excerpt of note:
- Before feed was lost, the drone picked up an additional message—this time in a distorted Russian dialect:
> "They are still here. We remember. You shouldn't have heard us."Addendum 8164-2: Signal Fluctuations
On 02/10/2012, SCP-8164’s transmission frequency temporarily changed to match those used by the International Space Station. For 17 seconds, it emitted a synthetic voice repeating:
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8153 page title "Scp 8153 WW1 German trench Coat", posted without rating module, one edit to (incorrectly) rename the page.
**Item #:** SCP-8153
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8153 is to be stored in a sealed, climate-controlled containment locker at Site-77’s Historical Anomalies Wing. Handling of SCP-8153 is strictly prohibited outside of approved testing scenarios. Under no circumstances is any individual permitted to wear SCP-8153.
All recovered civilian reports referencing SCP-8153-related disappearances are to be intercepted and suppressed under standard misinformation protocols. Any individuals claiming to have returned from "the War Zone" are to be detained, evaluated, and amnesticized following debriefing.
**Description:**
SCP-8153 is a trench coat of German military origin, dating to the First World War (circa 1916). The coat exhibits significant wear consistent with battlefield use, though no identifying insignia remain.
When worn by a human subject, SCP-8153 induces an immediate temporal-spatial shift, transporting the wearer to an alternate dimension (designated SCP-8153-1). SCP-8153-1 is a persistent wartime reality resembling Western Europe during World War I, albeit with numerous historically inaccurate features:
* The war in SCP-8153-1 has continued indefinitely, with no record of an armistice.
* Technological development appears to have stagnated, with combatants still utilizing trench warfare, biplanes, and early gas-based weaponry.
* Uniforms, insignia, and languages used by the inhabitants of SCP-8153-1 do not fully match any known nation-state, suggesting a divergent timeline.
Wearers report being immediately conscripted or captured upon arrival and forced to participate in extended trench warfare under brutal conditions. Physical injuries sustained within SCP-8153-1 persist upon return to baseline reality, though the duration of perceived time varies inconsistently (ranging from hours to several years).
**Recovery Report:**
SCP-8153 came to Foundation attention in [REDACTED], a rural village in southern France, after a man known as [NAME REDACTED], age 47, was reported missing for six days following a local museum break-in. Upon return, the subject was discovered wandering the countryside, disoriented, malnourished, and wearing SCP-8153.
The subject, previously fluent only in French, now spoke almost exclusively in German and demonstrated military reflexes and terminology far beyond his background. He referred repeatedly to "Die Schwarze Front" and "the endless push toward Verdun," expressing confusion and horror at civilian life.
After being deemed mentally unstable, the subject was institutionalized. Foundation assets embedded in the regional hospital intercepted his case and secured SCP-8153 for containment. The subject expired during a seizure 48 hours later, reportedly "trying to dig a foxhole" into the padded floor of his room.
**Addendum 8153.1 – Interview Excerpt**
**Interviewed:** Subject [REDACTED] (first known returnee)
**Interviewer:** Dr. Lucien Mareau
[[div class="scp-log"]]
**[Begin Log]**
**Dr. Mareau:** Can you tell me where you went, monsieur?
**Subject:** (in German) We never stopped. The gas never cleared. We pushed east, always east. Verdun was gone, just mud and screams. No sun. Only shellfire.
**Dr. Mareau:** You say you fought in Verdun? That war ended a century ago.
**Subject:** (in German, shakily) No… no it didn’t. Not there. Not in that place. There’s no end. You die, and you wake up in another trench. New orders. Same hell.
**Dr. Mareau:** And the coat?
**Subject:** It belongs to the war. I shouldn’t have touched it. It wants soldiers.
**[End Log]**
[[/div]]
**Addendum 8153.2 – Testing Results:**
A single Class-D personnel subject was permitted to don SCP-8153 under monitored conditions. Subject immediately vanished from the containment chamber. No contact was established for 16 days, after which the subject reappeared, severely injured, with chemical burns consistent with WWI-era mustard gas exposure.
Subject was terminated following violent behavior and incoherent shouting about "the Black Kaiser" and “trench-ghosts.”
**Addendum 8153.3 – Observed Effects Within SCP-8153-1**
All returnees from SCP-8153-1 report deeply traumatic experiences, with consistent environmental and psychological anomalies noted across testimonies. These include:
**1. Temporal Distortion**
Perceived time within SCP-8153-1 does not align with baseline reality. One subject reported spending eight years in the trenches, despite being absent from containment for 12 minutes. This inconsistency varies randomly with no clear pattern.
**2. Environmental Recurrence**
SCP-8153-1 appears to operate on a "looping battlefield" model. Terrain is described as infinite trenches, bombed-out villages, and crater-filled wastelands. No matter how far one travels, locations reset, and geography "reshapes" itself — entire regiments are reported to disappear behind subjects and reappear ahead as if looping around them.
> *“I tried to escape west for three days. On the fourth, I was back in the same trench, with the same sergeant. He didn’t recognize me.”*
**3. Cognitive Degradation and Indoctrination**
Extended exposure causes personality shifts and memory loss. Subjects begin to adopt identities from SCP-8153-1, forgetting their former lives. One D-class subject returned insisting his name was “Gefreiter Emil Voss,” a name with no records in the real world.
Symptoms include:
* Loss of native language; adoption of early-20th-century military jargon
* Belief in fabricated military hierarchy (e.g., “The Black Kaiser,” “Field Marshal of the Dead”)
* Hallucinations of orders, mission briefings, and executions
* Dream-like belief that death is not final, but a "punishment reset" for desertion
> *“I was shot for cowardice. Woke up ten hours later in another trench. Different platoon. Same mud. It’s always the same mud.”*
**4. Phenomena Observed**
* Shellfire Without Source: Subjects report constant bombardment, though no artillery is ever seen.
* “Gas Rain” Events: Toxic clouds fall like rain; exposure causes memory erosion or violent outbursts.
* Trench-ghosts: Figures that resemble soldiers, partially transparent, often weeping or screaming. When touched, they vanish, leaving behind muddy footprints.
* The Watchers: Described as tall figures in outdated uniforms, watching battles without engaging. Eye contact induces paralysis and visions of past wars, some not from human history.
**Note:** All returnees after 48+ hours exposure are classified as cognitohazard risks and terminated upon return. Recovered logs and testimonies are used strictly for research purposes.
**Addendum 8153.4 – Exploration Log: MTF Sigma-12 ("Trench Rats") Deployment**
**Mission Objective:**
To obtain visual and environmental data from SCP-8153-1, map terrain layout if possible, and recover intel on entities referenced in prior testimonies (i.e., “The Black Kaiser,” “The Watchers”).
**Deployment Agent:**
Field Operative Captain Elias Grange (Designation: E-1), decorated veteran of 17 anomalous field operations. Chosen for psychological resilience and survival experience in hostile environments. Equipped with body cam, vitals monitor, oxygen scrubber rig, and modified [REDACTED] portable anchor beacon for dimensional retraction.
**[Begin Log]**
**Timestamp 00:00:01** — SCP-8153 is placed on subject under observation. Captain Grange vanishes instantaneously. Anchor signal is confirmed stable.
**00:00:22** — Visual feed activates. Immediate conditions are low visibility, ash-filled air, and audible distant shelling. Captain Grange speaks calmly:
> “Confirming entry. Location is… dead land. It stinks. Mud up to the ankles. Barbed wire everywhere.”
**00:02:45** — Contact made with unknown soldiers. Speech patterns are German, but archaic. They salute Grange as “Kommandant.” Grange is issued a rifle and orders. He plays along.
> “They think I belong here. Something’s off. Their eyes… they’re all wrong. Too hollow.”
**00:15:11** — Grange witnesses a “gas rain” event. Notes that the sky itself seems to be bleeding. Unarmed figures run from the mist, melting on contact.
**00:20:39** — First sighting of a “Watcher.” Seven-foot-tall humanoid in a tattered officer’s coat, face wrapped in barbed wire. Motionless at edge of trench. No heat signature.
> “It’s watching. Not breathing. The soldiers don’t even see it. I think it sees me.”
**00:26:00** — Grange’s speech becomes slower. Mentions a persistent ache behind his eyes. He starts humming an old military march, seemingly unaware.
**00:28:54** — Grange locates what appears to be a bunker marked with a symbol matching that of the Imperial German Iron Cross — fused with the Foundation’s sigil. He does not recognize it, nor do Foundation historians.
> “Either someone’s been here… or something’s been watching us for a long time.”
**00:30:00** — Anchor beacon initiates auto-retrieval due to erratic vitals and elevated theta brainwave activity. Subject is forcibly extracted. Screaming begins mid-transport.
**[End Log]**
**Post-Extraction Report:**
Captain Grange returned in stable condition but is unresponsive. Vitals normal. Brain activity indicates continuous REM-state dreaming.
He repeatedly murmurs in archaic dialects of German, French, and Latin. Notably, he carves trench maps into his room walls, none of which match known WWI geography but are identical to those drawn by unrelated former SCP-8153 subjects.
Grange remains comatose, eyes open, whispering:
> “The war isn’t over. It never started. It just is.”
**Addendum 8153.5 – Second Exploration Log: MTF Lambda-9 ("Houndmasters") Deployment**
**Mission Objective:**
To retrieve additional intelligence on the unknown entities within SCP-8153-1 and assess the nature of its psychological effects on operatives. Further exploration of the bunker previously discovered by Captain Grange is ordered.
**Deployment Team:**
MTF Lambda-9, led by Agent Katarina "Kat" Novak (Designation: L-7), experienced field agent with over 25 years of anomalous operations. Known for her resilience under extreme psychological stress, Novak has successfully neutralized multiple hostile anomalies with high risk of mind-affecting properties.
**[Begin Log]**
**Timestamp 00:00:00** — Agent Novak dons SCP-8153 under the same monitoring protocol as prior deployment. Anchor signal confirmed. Grange’s last known coordinates are targeted. Subject vanishes.
**00:01:13** — Visual feed activates. Novak appears in an identical landscape to Grange’s previous log, but with a heavier concentration of smoke and the smell of decaying flesh in the air. The sky is dark with looming thunderclouds, and distant artillery fire shakes the ground.
> “Alright, Grange. Let’s see what you got me into.” (Novak mutters, adjusting her rifle)
**00:03:47** — Novak encounters two soldiers, heavily wounded, yet marching in formation toward a trench. Their faces are hollow, skin burned as if touched by fire. Novak notes the eerie silence around them, punctuated only by the distant sound of rats in the trenches.
> “They’re not even looking at me. No awareness. Are they alive?”
**00:06:12** — Novak experiences a momentary dizziness. Camera footage glitches, showing brief flashes of disorienting images — soldiers in gas masks, hundreds of bodies piled in a trench, soldiers repeating the same movements as if on a loop.
**00:08:35** — Novak is approached by a “Watcher.” The entity is more distinct than the one Grange saw: its head is entirely covered with a polished steel helmet that reflects no light. It’s eerily silent but follows Novak’s movements. Novak attempts to engage, but the entity does not respond, only observes.
> “This feels wrong. Like… I’m not supposed to be here. But I can’t turn back.” (Novak’s voice quivers, showing slight unease)
**00:15:00** — Novak makes her way toward the bunker from Grange’s previous mission log. She reports an increasing sense of anxiety and dread as she approaches.
**00:20:00** — Upon reaching the bunker, Novak discovers new symbols etched into the walls, almost resembling ancient runes fused with military insignia. One symbol matches the sigil seen on the bunker door, which also bears the letters “V.R.W.”
> “What is this? These runes… they don’t belong here.”
**00:22:15** — Novak uncovers a journal left inside the bunker, written in an ancient form of German. Pages describe a faction of German soldiers who “discovered the eternal trench,” a place where the war never ends and time itself warps. The journal speaks of a “Kaiser of Shadows,” a figure believed to rule over the endless soldiers in SCP-8153-1.
> “The Black Kaiser... So they weren’t just legends. They’re real.” (Novak mutters under her breath, flipping through pages rapidly)
**00:25:32** — A loud crash is heard outside the bunker. Novak grabs her rifle and moves toward the entrance. She observes several “Watchers” standing in formation, facing the horizon. A loud horn is heard in the distance, followed by a shadowy figure — a massive silhouette, nearly 10 feet tall, dressed in dark military garb, crowned with a spiked helmet.
> “This is it… The Black Kaiser. It’s real. I have to report this—”
**00:26:50** — As Novak begins to turn back toward the bunker, she is attacked by a group of “phantom soldiers” — spectral figures in German uniforms who are unarmed but move with unnatural speed. They grab her, dragging her toward the center of the battlefield.
> “No! Let me go!” (Novak shouts as the feed cuts out for several seconds)
**00:28:00** — The feed resumes. Novak is now in a completely different location, surrounded by dozens of spectral soldiers marching toward an unknown objective. She is visibly struggling to resist, but her movements are sluggish. She shouts in German, though she has no prior knowledge of the language. Her speech becomes increasingly frantic.
> “The war isn’t ending. It can’t end. We’re all part of it! Forever.”
**00:30:15** — Novak’s vitals spike as she begins to show symptoms of cognitive degradation. She starts chanting in a strange, disjointed mix of German and French, repeatedly speaking about “The Black Kaiser” and “the eternal trench.”
**00:32:00** — Anchor retrieval signal is triggered. Novak is forcibly pulled from SCP-8153-1, her physical form showing signs of distress. When returned, she is found clutching the journal from the bunker in her hand.
**Post-Extraction Report:**
Agent Novak’s physical health is intact, but her mental state has deteriorated rapidly. She is now speaking in German exclusively, with traces of her native French lost completely. Her eyes are glassy, and she mutters about endless trenches, soldiers that never die, and the figure of the Black Kaiser leading them into battle. She claims she “saw the future” and that the war will never end.
Despite numerous attempts to stabilize her, Novak remains unresponsive to foundation staff, only repeating:
> “The trench is eternal. The Kaiser leads us.”
