**Item #:** SCP-7402
**Object Class:** Keter (Primary) / Secondary Classification: Thaumiel (Sub-entity 7402-1)
**Special Containment Procedures:**
Foundation assets must suppress all public findings regarding Kordylewski dust clouds (KDCs) at the Earth-Moon L4 and L5 Lagrange points.
Personnel are strictly forbidden from contemplating "The life almost lived" while observing the anomaly. Any subject experiencing **Causal Vertigo** — a severe dissociative state where non-actualized timelines become neurologically indistinguishable from baseline reality — must be removed from the observation deck within **twelve seconds** to prevent total **Causal Erosion**.
*Note: Causal Erosion is characterized by progressive destabilization of the subject's ontological continuity, resulting in partial or complete disintegration into particulate matter.*
Upon manifestation of a Thin Room (SCP-7402-A), Senior Archivists are authorized to initiate **Protocol Taxidermy-Null** using SCP-7402-1.
**Description:**
SCP-7402 is a counterfactual accumulation approximately 100,000 km in diameter, with spectrographic analysis suggesting additional mass extending beyond detectable boundaries. Located at the L5 Lagrange point, it is composed primarily of **Shadow-Mass** — a non-baryonic informational residue generated by the divergence of human decision-making. When a potential timeline fails to actualize, its data-weight precipitates out of three-dimensional space and collects at the L5 point, forming a dense photometric record of the unrealized event.
To unaugmented observation, SCP-7402 appears as faint luminous dust. Personnel with prolonged Archive exposure report perceiving layered **ghost-images** within the cloud — faces, domestic spaces, and figures moving through lives that never occurred. These manifestations are sequential, mirroring the narrative structure of a film reel.
**SCP-7402-A (Thin Rooms):**
Localized reality-tears that manifest when human grief reaches a specific resonance with the Archive. These zones present as domestic spaces anchored by sensory grief-memories — the scent of cherry almond polish, the sigh of a screen door, mismatched thrift-store mugs.
**SCP-7402-1 (The Proximal Mimic):**
An ontological parasite originating from the counterfactual environment of SCP-7402. It is attracted to the biochemical signature of human grief (lacrimal secretions) and "informational sugar" — the intangible memorial content of the grief itself.
**The Stabilized Entity:**
Following consumption via **Achromatic Slurry**, SCP-7402-1 hardens into a featureless grey humanoid:
* **Tactile:** Damp, compressed cardboard
* **Acoustic:** Constant 60Hz hum
* **Thermal:** Static 4°C
*Archivist's Note — Virelle, E.:* "The Slurry is a neutral medium. It has no memory, no warmth, no preference. It does exactly what we ask of it. I find that either very comforting or very terrible depending on the day."
**Addendum 7402.1: Discovery Log (The Kraków Plates)**
In 1961, Plate L5-001 revealed a rendering of a DS-L5 Array satellite — a structure the Foundation would not construct for another fifty-two years.
*Archival Note — Virelle, E.:* "The Archive was already expecting us."
*Supplemental Sensor Log:* Archivist Virelle's skin temperature recorded at 4.1°C during dictation. Medical review requested. **Review not completed; medical staff reported persistent 60Hz interference during physical examination.**
**Addendum 7402.2: Experiment Log 7402-09**
* **Subject:** D-9022 (history of estranged relationship with parent).
* **Observation:** Scent of stale pipe tobacco manifested. D-9022 began speaking to an empty chair and attempted to physically merge with the coordinates.
* **Result:** Protocol Taxidermy-Null initiated. D-9022's eyes took on the texture of grey cardboard. All vocalization ceased. Subject now emits a constant 60Hz hum.
* **Archivist's Note — Virelle, E.:** "We didn't save him. We just stuffed the void he left behind so the Archive wouldn't notice the gap. He's still at 4°C. He's just... static now."
**Addendum 7402.3: Incident Report 7402-Omega**
Junior Technician Sarah Jenkins suffered Causal Erosion after 12.4 seconds.
*Final Words:* "She's not a ghost. I'm the ghost. In that life, she didn't stop breathing. In that one, the room is warm."
*Status:* Subject reduced to 62kg of submicron dust.

**SCP-7402-A (Thin Rooms):**
Localized reality-tears that manifest when human grief reaches a specific resonance with the Archive. These zones present as domestic spaces anchored by sensory grief-memories, such as the scent of cherry almond polish, the sigh of a screen door, or mismatched thrift-store mugs. A Thin Room functions as an ontological vacuum: an open mouth in local reality. Left unsealed, the vacuum expands outward, rendering surrounding space uninhabitable. Foundation intervention exists not to comfort the subject, but to close the mouth before the hallway follows.
**SCP-7402-1 (The Proximal Mimic):**
An ontological parasite originating from the counterfactual environment of SCP-7402. It is attracted to the biochemical signature of human grief (lacrimal secretions) and "informational sugar," the intangible memorial content of the grief itself.
Upon introduction via **Achromatic Slurry**, a non-reactive suspension produced by condensing inert probability strata collected during remote spectrographic sampling of SCP-7402, the entity consumes both the tangible biological matter and the intangible memorial content simultaneously. It incorporates this material into its being, becoming a portrait of the loss being consumed before hardening into its stabilized form.
**The Stabilized Entity:**
Following consumption, SCP-7402-1 hardens into a featureless grey humanoid:
* **Tactile:** Damp, compressed cardboard
* **Acoustic:** Constant 60Hz hum
* **Thermal:** Static 4°C
*Archivist's Note, Virelle, E.:* "The Slurry is a neutral medium. It has no memory, no warmth, no preference. It does exactly what we ask of it. I find that either very comforting or very terrible depending on the day."
**Addendum 7402.1: Discovery Log (The Kraków Plates)**
In 1961, Foundation assets intercepted original glass photographic plates from the Kraków Observatory. Plate L5-001 revealed a rendering of a DS-L5 Array satellite, a structure the Foundation would not construct for another fifty-two years.

*Supplemental Sensor Log:* Archivist Virelle's skin temperature recorded at 4.1°C during dictation. Medical review requested. Review not completed; medical staff reported persistent 60Hz interference during physical examination.
