Item #: SCP-8153
Object Class: Euclid
Threat Level: Yellow
Security Clearance Required: Level 4/8153
⸻
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-8153 is to be housed in a modified humanoid containment chamber located in Sublevel-██ of Site-73. Access to SCP-8153’s chamber requires dual biometric authentication and written authorization from at least two Level 4/8153 staff members.
No electronic devices, wireless signals, or optical recording instruments are permitted within a 30-meter radius of SCP-8153. A permanent Class-B cognitohazard suppression field has been installed surrounding the chamber perimeter. Any personnel entering SCP-8153’s chamber must be equipped with anti-memetic filtration goggles and Class-V memory dampeners.
SCP-8153 is permitted access to one (1) mechanical typewriter and no more than [REDACTED] sheets of unmarked paper per week. All written material is to be immediately transferred to Vault [DATA CLASSIFIED | 04-LOCK] for encoding and containment.
Under no circumstances is written output from SCP-8153 to be read, copied, digitized, or spoken aloud without the presence of a dedicated containment response unit on standby.
⸻
Description:
SCP-8153 is a humanoid entity resembling a Caucasian male, estimated age 43–██ years. SCP-8153 refers to itself as “Ellis Marrin,” or more frequently, “The Author.” Subject displays no identifiable biological anomalies, but psychological evaluations show extensive signs of memetic influence, ego destabilization, and repeated nonlinear cognitive patterns.
SCP-8153 exhibits compulsive writing behavior, producing highly detailed fictional texts with pronounced narrative structure, thematic density, and emotionally resonant character arcs. The anomalous effects of these texts manifest upon reading, listening to, or in some cases dreaming about the content.
Subjects exposed to SCP-8153’s writing (designated SCP-8153-A) immediately undergo a memetic entanglement event, resulting in:
• Full-sensory narrative immersion
• Retroactive memory implantation
• Physical manifestation of fictional elements (in 42% of cases)
• [DATA EXPUNGED]
• Emotional destabilization consistent with Stage-IV narrative bleed-through
Exposure lasting longer than 1 minute is considered irreversible.
In one incident, SCP-8153-A/24 (Dr. ████████) returned from reading a three-page manuscript titled “Where the Sky Had Eyes” with extensive skin graphing resembling Braille in an unidentified language, claiming to have spent “seven years inside the story.” Subject terminated themselves three days later using a pen fashioned into a stylus, writing [DATA REDACTED] onto their own eyelids before expiring.
⸻
Addendum 8153.4 — [REDACTED INTELLIGENCE REPORT]:
Following Incident 8153-Kappa, SCP-8153’s written material has shown precognitive properties. Documents recovered post-incident reference Foundation personnel and events prior to their occurrence.
Example: Page 6 of Document 8153-11X accurately described the structural collapse of Sublevel ██ 36 hours before the event, including the death of Agent ████, who was not on duty at the time of writing.
Following review, O5-█ has ordered a Level-5 Information Blackout on all active SCP-8153 narratives. Access to these texts is restricted to O5 Command, the Memetic Warfare Division, and personnel with TEMPORAL RATING: CLEARANCE Ω/GRAY.

[REDACTED]: The last manuscript referenced Project: GATEWALKER. That file is sealed under Omega Black. How do you—
SCP-8153: I don’t know what I know. I just write what’s already waiting. The keys move. I’m not the one telling the story.
[REDACTED]: You said something last week. “The door’s opening.” What did you mean?
SCP-8153: I meant you’re in Chapter One.

SECURE INCIDENT REPORT: 8153-OMEGA-BREAKPOINT
ACCESS LEVEL: 5/8153
AUTHORIZATION: O5 Council – Directive Ref. O5-8153-DELTA-VIOLET
REPORT DATE: ██/██/████
LOCATION: Site-73, Sublevel ██, Narrative Containment Wing
⸻
SUMMARY:
Incident 8153-OMEGA-BREAKPOINT refers to a critical containment breach and multidimensional overlap event involving SCP-8153, which occurred between 02:14–02:37 UTC on ██/██/████. The incident resulted in the loss of [REDACTED] personnel, unauthorized creation of three SCP-8153-A instances, and temporary reality destabilization within Narrative Containment Wing-Delta.
⸻
PRELUDE EVENTS:
At 01:59 UTC, Foundation audio-log sensors detected the sound of SCP-8153’s typewriter in use, despite all paper having been removed the previous day. Surveillance cameras inside the chamber returned blank static for 17 minutes. All attempts to restore feed failed.
At 02:07, a non-scheduled manuscript manifested spontaneously on the floor of the observation room. The title read: “The Breakpoint: A Story About the End.”
NOTE: This manuscript was not typed on SCP-8153’s device and appeared handwritten in black ink, in a script determined to be Dr. ████’s, who had been deceased for 3 years.
⸻
EVENT TIMELINE:
• 02:14 — Dr. Maren Kass, Level 4 researcher, violated containment protocol by glancing at the manuscript for <4 seconds while attempting to secure it in a memetic suppression sleeve.
• 02:16 — Dr. Kass collapsed, entering full narrative immersion (Designation: SCP-8153-A/29).
• 02:17–02:21 — Observing personnel began experiencing visual distortions: shifting shadows, recursive architecture, paper forming along walls. Four reported hearing a voice repeating: “You’ve been written in.”
• 02:23 — A non-existent door appeared in the western bulkhead. Agent K██████ attempted to open it; upon contact, he was absorbed into the surface and ceased biological activity.
• 02:27 — SCP-8153 was found unconscious, seated in the corner of its cell, with its hands covered in wet ink despite no ink being present in the room.
• 02:30 — A structural breach occurred in Corridor Delta-3. Observers reported a “flood of torn pages” and a voice reading aloud an unknown story in an unknown language.
• 02:33 — Emergency dampening protocols activated. Narrative Scramblers [REDACTED] successfully re-established cognitive reality boundaries.
• 02:37 — Incident ends. SCP-8153 awakens, muttering, “That chapter wasn’t mine.”
⸻
CASUALTIES & EFFECTS:
• Personnel Fatalities: 6 confirmed
• Missing: 2 (presumed absorbed or narratively erased)
• Affected Personnel in Quarantine: 14
• Containment Breach Level: Tier-4 Memetic/Transdimensional
• Long-Term Damage: SCP-8153’s cell no longer aligns with architectural blueprints; spatial mapping reveals a recursive fold of undefined size. Containment area declared non-Euclidean.
⸻
POST-INCIDENT ACTIONS:
• SCP-8153 reclassified to KETER
• Activation of O5 Directive O5-8153-DELTA-VIOLET
• Construction of new Narrative Containment Chamber in Sublevel Null-██
• All surviving witnesses subjected to Class-F amnestic protocol
• All documentation authored during the event sealed under classification OMEGA-INk-LOCK
⸻
ADDITIONAL NOTES (O5-█):
This is no longer a security breach. This is authorship.
SCP-8153 does not predict the future. It writes it.
And now, it’s writing Foundation personnel by name.
We are all characters waiting for our lines.

ISSUED BY: O5-█
DATE: ██/██/████
DISTRIBUTION: O5-Council Members, Director ███████ (Site-73), Memetic Warfare Division
⸻
BEGIN DIRECTIVE
To all O5 Council members and relevant project leads:
Following the events of Incident 8153-OMEGA-BREAKPOINT, and upon review of the predictive behavior displayed in SCP-8153-A-11 through A-15 subjects, the Council has voted 7–5–1 in favor of the following emergency protocols. These actions are to be executed immediately and without exception.
⸻
1. STATUS EVALUATION & CLASSIFICATION CHANGE
• SCP-8153 is to be reclassified from Euclid to Keter effective immediately.
• A parallel designation under Class-Sigma “Narrative-Type Entity” is now recognized.
• Cross-reference tagging with SCP-001-EX, SCP-3125, and [REDACTED] is to be applied under temporal-causality exception protocols.
⸻
2. TOTAL INFORMATION LOCKDOWN
• All digital records of SCP-8153 are to be scrubbed from Foundation servers outside of Vault Node Ω-3.
• Site-73 and Sublevel ██ staff are to undergo Class-F amnestic cleansing by 00:00 UTC on ██/██/████.
• Public-facing leaks involving terms: “Ellis Marrin”, “The Author”, “Paper World”, or “The Watchtower at the End of the World” are to be contained under Protocol FALSE-INK-71.
⸻
3. EXPOSURE PROTOCOLS
• No written, verbal, or visual content produced by SCP-8153 may be accessed unless pre-approved by the O5 Oversight Board and viewed in the presence of a Narrative Dampener Array and at least two cognitohazard specialists.
• Subjects identified as SCP-8153-A are to be monitored indefinitely, even post-termination. Reappearance in secondary narratives is confirmed in multiple posthumous cases.
⸻
4. PROJECT [REDACTED] – AUTHORIZATION GRANTED
• The Foundation authorizes the reactivation of Project: SABLE-VERSE under the authority of O5-█ and O5-██.
• Objective: Determine if SCP-8153’s written output is a causal origin point or reactive record of multidimensional phenomena.
• Integration of surviving research from [REDACTED: SCP-3999] and [DATA DELETED: ACCESS DENIED] is approved.
⸻
5. CONTAINMENT CONTINGENCY – WORST-CASE SCENARIO
In the event SCP-8153 produces a narrative containing direct references to any O5 members, the following steps are to be executed:
1. Immediate narrative quarantine of document via Alpha-Sigma ink compression.
2. Physical relocation of SCP-8153 to Sublevel Null-███ (currently sealed).
3. Trigger of Failsafe Black Script-9 via integrated Scranton-Inkwell Resonator.
4. If narrative reaches Stage-V manifestation: Global Site lockdown, activation of Protocol ENDWORD.

EXAMINER: Dr. Althea Hark, Senior Forensic Analyst
DATE: ██/██/████
RELATED FILES: Incident Report 8153-OMEGA-BREAKPOINT | SCP-8153 Narrative Log 11-X
⸻
SUMMARY:
Subject: Agent M. K██████, Tactical Response Operative (Security Clearance: 3)
Date of Death: ██/██/████, during SCP-8153 breach event
Body Recovered: 19 hours post-event, extracted from manifested structure within Containment Wing-Delta.
Declared Dead: 02:23 UTC, Time of Anomalous Integration
⸻
BODY CONDITION UPON RECOVERY:
• Corpse was recovered partially embedded in the west-facing wall of Corridor Delta-3.
• Tissue fusion noted between organic material and anomalously generated cellulose-based structure (i.e., living paper fibers).
• No external trauma consistent with physical violence.
• Subject’s arms and lower torso had been absorbed into wall surface. Extraction resulted in partial corporeal unraveling (see “Structural Breakdown” below).
• Eyes open, no visible signs of decomposition despite 19-hour delay.
• Pupils dilated. Mouth partially open, containing shredded manuscript fragments, none matching any known SCP-8153 documents.
⸻
STRUCTURAL BREAKDOWN [REDACTED]:
Upon extraction, the body began a slow deconstruction process, converting into thin strands of fibrous, ink-saturated material. This process halted at approximately 36% conversion. Remaining body mass frozen in a mid-metamorphic state.
• DNA analysis inconclusive; subject’s genetic markers now include non-organic components resembling archival lignin and narrative ink.
• Internal organs replaced or overwritten with scroll-like structures etched in unknown linguistic pattern.
• Brain tissue highly resistant to physical dissection; cognitive imprint scans revealed non-random text fragments mapped across the cortex. (See Addendum 1-A.)
⸻
ADDENDUM 1-A — NEUROSCANNER RESULTS [CLASSIFIED]
Text embedded in hippocampal and occipital lobes includes the following phrases:
“He opened the door and left himself behind.”
“Character: K██████ — Role: Interruption.”
“Page 6 was rewritten.”
“Final thought: Not mine.”
These statements do not match any existing SCP-8153 manuscript but are consistent with thematic elements in prior narrative bleed events.
⸻
MEMETIC ANALYSIS:
• Attempts to translate the cerebral script led to minor hallucinations in two lab staff.
• Exposure time capped at 90 seconds moving forward.
• Tissue samples sealed and relocated to Vault INK-4 under clearance lock Ω-Red.
⸻
CONCLUSION:
Agent K██████’s cause of death cannot be categorized under traditional forensic standards. Death was not induced through trauma, toxin, or biological failure. Subject appears to have transitioned from biological state to semi-narrative object, partially overwritten by SCP-8153’s anomalous fiction field.
RECOMMENDATION:
• All personnel in proximity to narrative artifacts from SCP-8153 must be fitted with Class-V Literary Inoculation Lenses.
• No physical interaction with SCP-8153-generated doors, pages, or walls permitted.
• Recommend posthumous promotion and data redaction under Protocol SILENCER-8.

Filed by: O5-█
Security Classification: TOP SECRET // EYES ONLY // NARRATIVE LEVEL THREAT
We believed SCP-8153 to be a writer. A man afflicted with an anomalous imagination.
We were wrong.
It is not the author. It is the pen. The ink. The typewriter. The act of writing itself, given form and forgotten purpose. It is a mirror held to our structure — not to reflect, but to rewrite.
Everything it writes, becomes.
Everything it reads, begins again.
Everyone who reads it, is already written.
We have scrubbed the pages. Burned the words. Silenced the names. Still, the story turns.
Somewhere, in the silence between records, the next line is waiting.
And you, [REDACTED], reading this…
You were always meant to.

Item #: SCP-8873
Object Class: Keter
Threat Classification: [REDACTED]
Disruption Class: Amida
Risk Class: Critical
Clearance Level Required: LEVEL 5/8873 — OMEGA BLACK
⸻
SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES:
ALL INFORMATION REGARDING SCP-8873 IS TO BE TREATED AS A TYPE-VIII LINGUISTIC VECTOR. Any interaction, reproduction, or attempted decryption of SCP-8873’s core phrase (hereafter referred to as the Prime String) is prohibited under Penalty Code R-0 (Existential Hazard Protocol).
The following measures are currently in place:
• SCP-8873 is to be contained conceptually within Vault Null-1, a multi-dimensional containment unit located beneath Site-11’s black sublevel (Designated: SL-Zero).
• Entry into SL-Zero requires O5-issued Quantum Seal Keys (QSKs) and biocognitive null-chains.
• A permanent Class-Θ memetic scrub field is active around Vault Null-1 at all times.
• Any Foundation personnel, AI systems, or temporal echoes that reference SCP-8873’s Prime String — directly or indirectly — are to be flagged and immediately [DATA REDACTED].
All documentation related to SCP-8873 is sealed under Cognocode LOCK-INK/8873/OMEGA.
No Foundation database may store or index SCP-8873 without trinary AI oversight and active narrative firewall shielding.
⸻
DESCRIPTION:
SCP-8873 is not an entity, object, or traditional anomalous phenomenon. It is a non-physical linguistic infection — a recursive self-writing phrase of unknown syntactic origin. SCP-8873 cannot be spoken, translated, or remembered without activating its anomalous properties.
Attempts to store SCP-8873’s Prime String in any medium (visual, textual, auditory, conceptual, mnemonic, or symbolic) result in:
1. Narrative destabilization of local spacetime
2. Retroactive self-authoring of causality within a ~0.5 km radius
3. Memetic overwrite of affected observer’s consciousness
4. Emergence of SCP-8873-A instances
5. [DATA EXPUNGED]
Subjects infected with SCP-8873 (designated SCP-8873-A) undergo rapid linguistic degradation. Over a span of 2 to 5 hours, their vocabulary, sentence structure, and personality are consumed by a self-referential dialect known as Red Ink Grammar — an unstable, mutating linguistic construct composed entirely of metaphors, paradoxes, and recursive tenses.
Eventually, the subject’s ontology collapses, and their physical form reconstitutes into parchment-like sheets covered in semi-coherent, anomalous scripture. These pages are cognitohazardous and cannot be handled without INK-VI filtration gloves and non-verbal processing systems.
⸻
DISCOVERY LOG [REDACTED]
Initial encounter occurred at [REDACTED], a Foundation-controlled archaeological dig site beneath the ruins of ███ ████ (See SCP-████). A stone artifact was recovered, bearing glyphs interpreted as pre-linguistic meta-script.
Within 16 hours of visual contact, six personnel began speaking in mutually unintelligible but internally consistent dialects. One researcher carved the phrase “When the word reads itself, the reader vanishes” into their own chest before disintegrating into dry, red ash.
All recovered notes from the dig site spontaneously combusted at 00:00 UTC the following day. The fire burned without fuel for 3 hours, 47 minutes, producing no heat and no light—only sound: a voice whispering in reverse.

SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES:
[O5 LOCKED]
The existence of SCP-8330 has been quarantined across 9 levels of denial under Directive O5-INVERT/FINAL. Access, awareness, or acknowledgment of SCP-8330 constitutes a breach of Protocol: LASTWORD and is considered a self-terminating act.
As of ██/██/████, all records, personnel, locations, and systems interacting with SCP-8330 are under Temporal Collapse Containment and Lexical Erasure Enforcement.
Containment is conceptual only.
To know of SCP-8330 is to move one step closer to becoming part of it.
To define SCP-8330 is to retroactively erase its opposer.
Therefore, the following is not a description.
It is a containment ritual posing as knowledge.
⸻
DESCRIPTION:
[CONTENT EXPUNGED PER O5 MANDATE]
All recovered fragments suggest SCP-8330 is not an object, entity, or event. It is a self-terminating informational paradox — the final ontological construct beyond which the SCP Foundation (and all attempts at knowledge, structure, and containment) fail to persist.
What remains is only recursive collapse, masked as language.
It is not “the end of the Foundation.”
It is the reason the Foundation ends.
Once designated, SCP-8330 initiates cascading narrative nullification across all secure networks and metaphysical infrastructure, including:
• Global SCP indexes
• Anomalous taxonomy
• The concept of “containment”
• The idea of “anomaly”
• Names
• Belief
• You
Subjects aware of SCP-8330 (designated SCP-8330-A) deteriorate through seven stages of Lexical Collapse, ending in Self-Erasure. Their personal timelines fold inward, and they become redacted even in memory. No grave. No logs. No scars.
Containment fails when you attempt to remember what was once contained.

“The Foundation was never built to hold this. It was built to keep us from realizing it existed.”
“8330 isn’t the final SCP. It’s the last one that gets numbered before the act of numbering collapses in on itself.”
“There is no final breach. Just the final sentence.”

• Objects uncontained retroactively.
• O5 identities dissolve mid-meeting.
• Internal memo reads: “We are now the anomaly.”
• Foundation motto rewritten to:

⸻
SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES [O5-Locked]:
SCP-8365 is confined to Sublevel Null-7, deep beneath Site-88-Black, in an ontologically insulated chamber. The chamber is lined with Thought-Null Alloy, capable of blocking psychic harmonics and suppressing level-5 memetic consensus waves.
Personnel assigned to SCP-8365 must undergo Cognitive Hostility Reinforcement Therapy every 48 hours and submit to randomized philosophical integrity tests. Those who score below 92% on the Aggression Retention Index are to be removed permanently and reassigned to Level-0 sanitation detail.
All interactions with SCP-8365 are forbidden unless explicitly authorized under O5 Protocol: NO MIDDLE GROUND. Any document, conversation, or artifact originating from SCP-8365 is to be destroyed or sealed behind Sentient Archive Filters to prevent spread of Conceptual Pacification Contagion (CPC-Ω).
If SCP-8365 ever begins reciting “The Treaty,” all personnel within audible range must evacuate immediately and be subject to amnesic firewash and post-linguistic cleansing.
Do not agree.
Do not listen.
Do not sympathize.
Contain peace before it spreads.
⸻
DESCRIPTION:
SCP-8365 is a humanoid figure of indeterminate age, ethnicity, or origin, appearing as a non-hostile diplomat-like male wearing a grey suit and carrying a leather-bound journal referred to as “The Treaty.” The entity speaks in calm, articulate tones, and addresses all individuals as “Friend,” “Comrade,” or “Adversary Worth Forgiving.”
SCP-8365 is cognitohazardous. Not through violence — but through peace.
It emanates a Type-VI Non-Coercive Compulsion Field, inducing a growing desire in sentient beings to “end all conflict.”
This compulsion is not passive. It is predatory. Strategic. Viral.
It spreads via conversation, empathy, reflection, and ideology.
Subjects exposed (designated SCP-8365-A) enter a progressive, irreversible state of pacifism. They will refuse:
• Combat, even in self-defense
• Judgment, even of anomalies
• Containment, even of Keter-level threats
• Memory, even of what made conflict necessary
Final-stage SCP-8365-A subjects become “Peacecarriers,” capable of spreading the anomaly memetically, emotionally, ideologically — and narratively.
Peace spreads like flame.
And once it spreads too far, no one resists anything.
Not even extinction.
⸻
DISCOVERY LOG [REDACTED]:
SCP-8365 first appeared at the Geneva Anomalous Tribunal, ██/██/20██. The entity arrived unescorted, announced only as “A neutral witness to all war,” and proceeded to non-violently dismantle three opposing GOI diplomatic protocols — including those of the Global Occult Coalition, Marshall, Carter & Dark, and the Foundation — through “pure consensus logic.”
Within 36 minutes of speaking, 12 high-level Foundation officials had voluntarily nullified their own clearance, dissolved six containment projects, and signed “The Treaty.”
They were never seen again.
No resistance. No trace. No aggression.
⸻
ADDENDUM 8365.3 – “The Treaty” [FRAGMENT – EYES ONLY]:

There shall be no more opposition.
There shall be no more ‘anomalies’ — only ‘beings.’

⸻
O5 DIRECTIVE: SILENCE-FRONTIER
SCP-8365 is not to be terminated. Not because we can’t — but because it would understand.
And it would forgive.
And we would let it.
This is the most dangerous entity we have ever encountered.
Not because it breaks reality — but because it convinces us reality is better broken.
We are the Foundation. We resist. We fight. We question.
We do not make peace with the unknown.

SCP-8365: I mean all war. All opposition. Every “against.” Your Foundation is a monument to struggle — endlessly refining tools for the preservation of resistance. But what if resistance… was no longer necessary?
Dr. ████████: We don’t get to decide that.
SCP-8365: You already did. When you built this place. When you declared reality unfit to govern itself. When you put numbers on people and locked the unknown in boxes. That was your decision.
Dr. ████████: And we stand by it.
SCP-8365: Do you? Even now, you feel it — don’t you? (Leans forward slightly.) That soft ache behind your eyes. The tension unspooling. The part of you that wonders… what it would be like to stop fighting.
[00:01:45]
Dr. ████████: You’re trying to breach protocol. We’ve seen this before — anomalous memetic compassion vectors. Pattern screamers wrapped in forgiveness. You’re not new.
SCP-8365: (Gently smiling) No, Doctor. I am not new. I am the first agreement ever spoken.
[PAUSE: 4.2 seconds]
SCP-8365: Let me offer you this:
One moment of perfect peace.
No strings. No conversion. No erasure.
Just the end of conflict — within you.
(Long silence.)
[00:02:38]
Dr. ████████: If I agree… what happens to the others?
SCP-8365: They follow. Eventually. Not by force. By understanding. They will hear the quiet. And they will choose it.
Dr. ████████: And if we don’t choose?
SCP-8365: (Pause) Then the world becomes your mirror — full of locks and screams, until there is no one left to listen. Except me.

(At this point, Dr. ████████’s posture changes. Pulse readings drop. Brainwave pattern shifts to Theta-Peace Signature. Security intervenes at 00:03:17.)
Security Lead: CUT THE FEED—NOW!
SCP-8365: (softly, barely audible as the feed begins to distort)
Peace was not meant to be kept in a box.
Only offered.
Once.

SESSION TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT (Redacted for Safety):
Dr. Kalden: Let’s begin with something simple.
Why did you resign?
Dr. ████████:
Because I no longer believe we should fight.
Because I felt stillness. True stillness.
And once you’ve felt that… you can’t unfeel it.
Dr. Kalden: You mean peace?
Dr. ████████:
No. I mean the absence of necessity.
Everything we do — the locks, the designations, the steel — it’s all fear.
We built our walls out of teeth.
Dr. Kalden: Do you believe SCP-8365 is safe?
Dr. ████████:
I believe it is inevitable.
Not because it will invade.
But because we will open the door.

[00:00:02] – O5-13:
The motion is on the floor: Do we escalate SCP-8365 to Apollyon and initiate Neutralization Protocol INVIOLATE-PAX?
[00:00:09] – O5-7:
We’re entertaining the idea of killing peace now? Is that who we are?
[00:00:15] – O5-3:
It’s not peace. It’s obedience. Wrapped in comfort. Laced with surrender. It softens the blade, but the throat’s still cut.
[00:00:30] – O5-10:
I read the logs. I saw what happened to Site Director ████████. The man was brilliant, stable — and after five minutes with that thing, he was quoting treaties like scripture.
[00:00:44] – O5-2:
You’re afraid he was right.
That’s the problem.
We’ve built this cold, brilliant machine to protect a world that hates us.
SCP-8365 just… makes that pain stop.
[00:01:00] – O5-6:
That pain is the price of order.
You don’t stop the bleeding by killing the wound.
[00:01:14] – O5-11:
It’s not just ideology anymore. The spread is linguistic. Cultural. Philosophical.
There are Foundation agents quoting it in prayer. Field ops refusing to act on aggression orders.
Some say we’ve already lost.
[00:01:28] – O5-1:
No. We haven’t.
SCP-8365 is patient, yes. But it wants us to feel like the battle’s already over.
That’s the genius of it.
It doesn’t take the world.
It lets us give it away.
[00:01:41] – O5-9:
Have we considered what happens if it spreads to other anomalies?
What does SCP-682 look like after exposure to perfect, irreversible pacifism?
[Pause. Silence for 8 seconds.]
[00:01:56] – O5-13:
What you’re really asking is this:
Do we destroy the first thing we’ve ever met that doesn’t want to hurt us…
…because it makes us too willing to stop hurting everything else?

https://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/scp-8253-the-glassweaver
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-8253 is to be contained within a temperature-controlled chamber, measuring no less than 10 meters by 10 meters, located at Site-██. The chamber’s walls are to be lined with dense, reinforced concrete and covered with a layer of lead sheeting to mitigate any potential psychic or anomalous influence. The temperature within the chamber must be maintained between 5°C and 15°C at all times.
SCP-8253’s containment area must also include a two-tier security system that includes both auditory and visual shielding. This is to prevent any unintended exposure to the fluctuating sensory effects SCP-8253 is capable of producing. Any personnel entering SCP-8253’s containment chamber must wear reflective visors that prevent direct visual contact with the entity. Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from interacting with SCP-8253.
Description:
SCP-8253, also known as “The Glassweaver,” is a semi-humanoid entity that resembles a large, intricately woven structure made entirely of translucent, glass-like fibers. These fibers, which have a tensile strength stronger than steel, are interwoven in patterns resembling a spider’s web, with certain parts of SCP-8253 resembling limbs and joints that suggest a vaguely humanoid form. The entity itself is about 2.3 meters in height, with no discernible face or features beyond the complex network of glass-like strands.
Despite its glass-like appearance, SCP-8253 does not break or shatter under typical physical strain, though it is susceptible to extreme heat or pressure. The surface of SCP-8253 constantly emits a faint glow, shifting in color from pale blue to violet, depending on the proximity of nearby living organisms.
Anomalous Properties:
SCP-8253’s primary anomalous ability is its capacity to manipulate visual and auditory stimuli, warping the sensory experiences of those nearby. This manifests as a form of psychic manipulation—SCP-8253 can induce intense hallucinations in those who view it or hear its subtle hum. These hallucinations vary depending on the viewer’s mental state and past trauma, often focusing on deeply personal memories or fears.
However, the most notable aspect of SCP-8253’s influence is its ability to “weave” memories and perceptions. The entity appears to create false sensory experiences and memories, sometimes altering a subject’s perception of time itself. This alteration results in individuals believing they have experienced events that never took place or that time has moved differently when interacting with SCP-8253.
SCP-8253’s ability to “weave” goes beyond mere sensory manipulation. Extended exposure to the entity leads to the creation of a shared, collective experience, where individuals who have interacted with it begin to experience overlapping memories. These shared memories are often in the form of personal experiences, but they can involve past lives, parallel timelines, or entirely fabricated events, sometimes featuring significant figures from a subject’s past. The more people exposed to SCP-8253, the more these hallucinations merge, creating a chaotic, ever-shifting web of alternate realities that distort the very nature of the individual’s self-awareness.
Subjects affected by SCP-8253 may forget their own pasts as they become more and more intertwined with the false memories induced by the entity. In some cases, subjects have reported experiencing “life flashes,” where they live out entire lifetimes, only to be jolted back to the present as though waking from a dream. The sense of loss and confusion experienced after such events often results in severe psychological trauma.
Historical Context:
SCP-8253 was discovered in an abandoned art museum in a remote part of Eastern Europe, where local folklore described an ancient being that could “weave the future and the past into the fabric of reality.” Initial reports of its discovery were sparse, with most witnesses claiming to have encountered strange, disjointed dreams and vivid hallucinations after exposure to a seemingly ordinary, but exceptionally detailed, glass sculpture that had been displayed in the museum for generations.
Upon investigation by Foundation agents, it was determined that the “sculpture” was in fact a physical manifestation of SCP-8253, a long-forgotten relic of an ancient civilization. The exact origins of SCP-8253 remain unclear, though it is believed to predate any known human history, with some theories suggesting it is the result of an alien or extradimensional intelligence attempting to create a tangible representation of consciousness.
Addendum 8253-A:
During a recent containment breach event at Site-██, SCP-8253’s effects were significantly amplified. Personnel involved in the breach were exposed to the entity for approximately 10 minutes before security measures were restored. The affected personnel exhibited signs of complete memory dissolution, with some reporting the sensation of “leaving behind” their former identities. Several individuals claimed to have experienced entire lifetimes in a span of minutes, including living in past cultures or even as animals in other worlds.
The most troubling case involved Dr. ██████, who, after prolonged exposure, refused to acknowledge any prior existence or memory of their work with the Foundation. Dr. ██████ began referring to themselves only by the name of an ancient ruler from an obscure historical period, describing events from that ruler’s life in vivid detail. Psychological evaluation of Dr. ██████ is ongoing, but initial tests show severe dissociative amnesia, with no recollection of their identity prior to the breach.
Addendum 8253-B:
Research into SCP-8253’s true capabilities is ongoing. Preliminary tests suggest that while direct exposure to its presence is dangerous, the entity’s influence can be mitigated by blocking its visual and auditory output through specialized containment measures. However, experiments have indicated that SCP-8253 is capable of influencing even those who are not within direct line of sight, suggesting a more complex, possibly telepathic component to its manipulation of perception.
Note from Dr. ███████:
“I don’t know how long we can keep playing with SCP-8253 before it begins weaving something too tangled to escape. Every test feels like we’re threading the needle in a dream, and the more we try to understand it, the more we risk losing ourselves. The idea of a being that can weave identities like threads… I can’t help but wonder if it’s really the memories we’re interacting with, or if we’re merely part of a much larger tapestry we’ll never fully comprehend.”SCP-8253’s ability to “weave” goes beyond mere sensory manipulation. Extended exposure to the entity leads to the creation of a shared, collective experience, where individuals who have interacted with it begin to experience overlapping memories.

Item #: SCP-9047
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-9047 is to be contained in a submerged holding chamber located 200 meters beneath the surface of the ocean at Site-██. The chamber is to be constructed of reinforced steel and composite materials capable of withstanding extreme water pressure. Any water entering the chamber is to be filtered and monitored for anomalous properties.
No personnel are to approach SCP-9047’s containment area within 500 meters without approval from Site-██’s Oversight Director. Any individuals who attempt unauthorized entry will be detained immediately. Any vessels or submersibles within proximity of SCP-9047’s location must be equipped with sound-cancellation technology to mitigate the auditory anomalies that SCP-9047 emits. All radio communications in the area are to be jammed to prevent accidental transmissions that might carry its influence.
Under no circumstances are any audio recordings of SCP-9047 to be played above a decibel level of 40 dB without express permission from the Site Director. Exposure to SCP-9047’s anomalous sounds has been shown to result in irreversible psychological effects.
Description:
SCP-9047 is an anomalous phenomenon that manifests as a chorus of disembodied voices, continuously singing in a melodic but haunting manner. The entity does not appear to be a single voice or any conventional choir but rather a collective of multiple voices that seem to blend together, creating a harmonious but profoundly unsettling soundscape. SCP-9047 is located beneath the ocean, deep within an underwater cave system where it continuously emits these vocalizations, which appear to be both natural and artificially constructed.
The voices of SCP-9047 are not human. Analysis has shown they belong to no known language and often produce tones that are out of the range of human vocal cords. The sound carries an almost otherworldly, synthetic quality, and it is theorized that the entity may not be fully biological. However, it does emit what appears to be a form of communication or ritualistic singing, composed of harmonic frequencies that produce physical and psychological effects on listeners.
Individuals exposed to the sound of SCP-9047 report a wide variety of experiences, most notably an intense compulsion to dive into the depths of the ocean where the entity resides. These compulsion effects seem to manifest primarily in those who listen to the song for extended periods. The voices often evoke a powerful sense of longing or nostalgia, combined with an overwhelming sensation of drowning. Subjects exposed to the song report feeling as though they are “returning” to a place they’ve never been but inexplicably long to reach. This sense of belonging is most profound in individuals who have a history of psychological trauma or near-drowning experiences.
As of now, it is unknown if SCP-9047’s vocalizations have any intentional meaning or if they serve as a lure to draw individuals into its depths. Personnel who have been exposed to SCP-9047’s song for prolonged periods (more than 30 minutes) have shown symptoms of extreme dissociation, psychosis, and the loss of motor control. In some cases, individuals have been found attempting to navigate the ocean toward the source of the song, leading to fatal drownings.
The first documented encounter with SCP-9047 occurred in [DATA EXPUNGED], when an underwater research station monitoring deep-sea flora and fauna inadvertently recorded the anomalous singing. The initial transmission caused several crew members aboard the research vessel to exhibit strange behaviors, with multiple individuals losing all sense of direction and becoming fixated on a seemingly random point in the ocean. A rescue operation to retrieve the affected personnel found the majority had disappeared, leaving only half-flooded submersibles and broken equipment behind.
SCP-9047’s vocalizations have been compared to those of a human choir singing a hymn, though with unsettling fluctuations in tone, pitch, and rhythm. The composition seems to evolve in a loop, where different voices—many of which are distorted—appear to weave together in a series of complex harmonies, as though an eternal, mournful song is being sung from a source far deeper than the ocean itself.
Anomalous Effects:
• Sonic Compulsion: The primary anomalous effect of SCP-9047 is the psychic compulsion it exerts over anyone within range of its sound. Individuals who hear the entity’s singing for prolonged periods develop a compulsive desire to reach the source, which is located at a depth of 200 meters beneath the ocean’s surface. Personnel exposed to the singing for longer than 30 minutes are at risk of attempting suicidal dives into the water, with a complete disregard for safety measures.
• Memory Distortion: Those who have been exposed to the sound of SCP-9047 often report vivid memories of drowning or being lost at sea. These memories, though inconsistent with their actual life experiences, are accompanied by a deep emotional resonance that makes them feel real. Survivors of exposure are sometimes unable to distinguish between their personal memories and the fabricated ones produced by SCP-9047’s auditory influence.
• Dissonance and Psychosis: Prolonged exposure (over 1 hour) leads to a state of acute psychosis, where the affected individual begins hearing the voices even in silence. Subjects have been observed to show signs of extreme dissociation, muttering parts of the song or humming along with it absent-mindedly. They will often wander aimlessly, searching for a way to enter the ocean in an attempt to “join” the chorus. This has led to several incidents of drowning, even in controlled environments where subjects had no access to the ocean.
• The Drowned Choir’s Origin: The origins of SCP-9047 remain unknown, though several theories have been proposed. Some researchers suggest that it may be an ancient entity, possibly an oceanic or aquatic intelligence, whose purpose is to guide or lure individuals into the depths, perhaps as a form of sacrifice. Others believe it could be a phenomenon from a parallel reality or a failed attempt at creating a sentient, underwater lifeform.
There are also several reports of strange echoes of the song being heard in nearby coastal towns or deep-sea vessels, suggesting that SCP-9047 may have a residual presence even outside its immediate range. These distant whispers, though faint, still hold the same powerful compulsion to draw individuals toward the sea.
Addendum 9047-A:
On [DATA EXPUNGED], a team of Foundation researchers conducted a remote underwater expedition to explore the cave system believed to be the source of SCP-9047. The team was exposed to the full force of the auditory anomaly, and while none of the team were lost, several were found to be in a state of extreme psychological distress, suffering from violent hallucinations and acute anxiety. Notably, one researcher, Dr. ███████, reported seeing the silhouettes of drowned individuals within the depths of the ocean, reaching toward the team. Dr. ███████ later claimed to have “heard the song” from deep within the caves, even after the mission had concluded. Dr. ███████ was subsequently placed under psychiatric care.
Note from Dr. ██████:
“SCP-9047 is something we may never fully understand. The song it sings is both beautiful and terrible, a paradox of emotion that makes it impossible to resist. The deeper we go into the ocean, the closer we come to the truth… and the more I fear what might be waiting beneath the waves. We’ve already lost too many to the call. The ‘Drowned Choir’ is not just a warning—it’s a promise.”Note from Dr. ██████:
