our sister subreddit### SCPDeclassified's Lore Overviews.Welcome to!We are a team of writers that create long-form explanations of complex SCPs, tales, and other pieces on the SCP wiki in order to clarify their ultimate meaning or demonstrate what these pieces accomplish. These stories and ideas found across the site can be breathtaking and multilayered, but also confusing or hidden between the lines, and we want to provide an easy-to-read and interesting way for you to understand them.Our pieces - posted about every two to three days - incorporate a SparkNotes-style summary of the article, along with heavy analysis of the meaning of their plot elements or symbols. We incorporate quotes from the story, knowledge and links with all of Foundation lore, and our own educated speculation about how it all fits together to create a professionally-written, engaging, and exhaustive declassification.I want to write for the subreddit!Awesome - we'd be glad to have you. In fact, we really want you to become a writer for us. Please write for us.
Apply today.We do have high standards though, just like in the wiki. If you would like to become an approved submitter, PM the mod team (THROUGH MODMAIL) an audition explanation for an SCP (or tale, or other Foundation thing) of your choosing. We'll pick it apart and offer you some tips about how to tighten that analysis up, then when we consider it suitably refined, we'll add you and you can submit!Once you reach five successful articles on the subreddit, you no longer are obligated to get your articles pre-approved. Object Class: Apollyon Date Written: April 20, 2017 Author: ShaggydredlocksSCP-001 'When Day Breaks' tells the story of humanity going extinct in an apocalyptic future, told through a masterful and horrifying combination of normal-format SCP writing mixed together with prose.This is important, and slightly jarring when you first see it. The prose is out-of-universe. It describes what happens to you as you are reading the file.
But we begin with it, as you escape into an abandoned Foundation shelter, running from some monster and barricade yourself in an empty, long-forgotten room.There's a desk with a computer atop it. Approaching the terminal, you can clearly see the blinking light of the power button.You take a seat. Turn it on.As the computer powers on, footsteps of a thing seemingly hunting for you get closer and closer, but don't see you and go further on.
This builds the tension, raising more questions about what exactly has happened in this dark scenario. But then you get to the first version of the SCP file, and the truth is - in a word - horrific.SCP-001 is the designation given to the Sun, after an event on SYSTEM ERROR Data lost: ec172. Contact SysAdmin. Resulting in 6.8 billion casualties within the first twenty-four hours. The SCP-001 effect does not seem to result from exposure to ultraviolet rays, but rather light in the visual spectrum (390 to 700 nm). The effect is similarly present in moonlight.Upon contact with visible light produced by the sun, living organisms liquefy at the point of contact, with the effect spreading until the entire organism is converted. Visually, this is reminiscent of melting wax.
The time this takes is largely dependent on the level of exposure and size of the organism. Despite this restructuring, at no point do living organisms perish.Upon completion these organisms (SCP-001-A) take on a gelatinous consistency.
Motile organisms will attempt to orient themselves in a fashion reminiscent of their previous form, to varying degrees of success.Yes, that's right. An unexplained event caused visible light rays from the sun to be able to anomalously melt people into living, malevolent flesh zombies. It instantly killed 95% of the world's population upon activation. The containment procedures build on this, and add some more fridge horror: 'Personnel exposed to SCP-001 are to be considered lost. Compromised personnel are to be abandoned.
Euthanization is not to be attempted.' And, squick:Testing has revealed that SCP-001-A is relatively safe to consume.
This is only to be considered as a last resort in the absence of other options. As SCP-001-A may reconstitute within the digestive system, only small portions should be consumed at a time to prevent blockage.The flesh zombies congregate into burbling, breathing masses of almost-sentient waxy goo, limbs reaching out of the mass.
Oh, and they are conclusively out to get you. 6.8 billion people, and they all have become this.Did I mention that SCP-001 is Apollyon?The audio logs tell a more personal story, and an even more chilling one.Dr. Igotta, and her partner, Ari, are stranded at Site-46 along with several other members of the crew. It is implied that Site-46 is where you are at this moment, and that these events took place in the past, before you got here.
Currently, this is their plan, and I'm quoting the entire thing wholesale, because fuck:We managed to talk one of the D's into going out - see if he couldn't draw them away. He was surprisingly okay with the plan - all he asked for was a gun, and a single round. He made it out there and one got a hold of him, tried to get his mask off. He managed to work the pistol up beneath his chin in time, got it off.
I figured he was lucky.After he fell limp though, it kept working at his suit. Pried off the hood, poured itself inside. Began tearing it off of him from within.He came back; started changing - dripping out of the suit and screaming and screaming and screaming.They won't even let us die.The Director has a plan. There's an escape tunnel hidden in his office. Tram under the Site will take us to a safe house - we should be able to start towards 19 from there.The next log amps up the tension. Igotta is in a state of utter shock. She is wounded, and is cradling her wedding ring.
Then Ari's voice comes up, disgusting and wrong, and you realize she has been sun-gelled. The Ari-shaped thing taunts Dr. Igotta, implores her to 'come out into the sun,' and sings to her.It should be noted at this point that When Day Breaks was originally an entry for the 3000 Horror contest, and I'm pretty sure it would have won had it not been taken down suddenly for mysterious reasons.Dr. Igotta rambles for a little about the soul, then slices her hand, ritual-style, in order 'to bring back something.' Then a weird spirit hand reaches through a video recording shortly later. From this, it can be implied that Dr. Igotta is using rituals to bring back the ghost of Ari, or her soul, but it isn't working out right.'
It's her but it's not. What I brought back - still a part of oh-one. There's no way. No way.There's no hope for a future for me, and God, I can't go on like this any longer.I'll be safe here. The light can't reach m-me. I w-won't let it, let it take me.'
Suddenly, you notice an update to the file. A poem, written - apprently - by Ari's yearning, messed-up spirit. The ghost hand - missing its ring finger - reaches for you, and you fire on it in a frenzy.Thuds, from the flesh masses, bang against the door. SCP-001-A has found you, and they will take you. You are cornered, with no hope of escape.
It breaks down the door, and you do not struggle as you are carried into the waiting light.When Day Breaks is a horror story told through prose, framing a spooky tale about how the Sun activation event affected Dr. Igotta's life and yours. Nobody knows why the Sun can do this - it's an anomaly, just like any other SCP.
But either way, the remnants of humanity are falling, the SCP Foundation has ceased to exist, and soon, every living being on Earth will be nothing but part of the loving, caring flesh wax continuum. 'A geothermal generator has also been installed to take advantage of the region’s volcanic activity. This generator is capable of powering the facility in “stand-by” mode indefinitely. SCP-2000 also contains water treatment facilities, air purification and recycling systems, hydroponic production wings, and housing necessary to permanently sustain up to 10,000 personnel.' Straight from 2000's entry. Assuming you can only be turned by the sun, and not other creatures, maybe.
It would have to end in 70 years though. Otherwise, make 10,000 foundation scientists with their memories, and hope you can inform them about the sun.Further notes, however, say it's damaged. Even if it is fixed enough to work, you have only '65-75%' of people coming out not having genetic problems. Also, 5 days to warm up. Although, SCP-239 could fix it, if woken up before she could be affected.tl;dr It's possible to wait until the sun turns back, if it does.
Item #:Laconic Containment Procedures: A page declaring SCP-001 to be top secret, followed by warnings and a large fractal memetic kill agent. Below that is the list of SCP-001 proposals.Laconic Description: SCP-001 is a special case, and is not a single SCP, but rather a collection of 'SCP-001 Proposals', which do not compete for 001, but offer alternate interpretations of what could be an 001. Depending on headcanon, they are variably alternate universe occurrence, decoys or fakes, or 001s established before whatever the current system is was developed in-character. In theory, one, some, all, or none of them could be the real SCP-001.Each is characteristic of its era and its author's perspective on what the fiction means to them.Additional Context: There are currently more than thirty SCP-001 proposals. Below are brief summaries of each. Feel free to create individual summary pages for each proposal.: A sheaf of papers detailing an SCP document. Each time it is opened, a new SCP object is found.
The Foundation is unsure whether the papers create the object or lead to its discovery. CODE NAME: Dr. Gears -: Written in an extremely rough format signifying the document was written before the Foundation was organized, it is an alien humanoid that creates powerful radioactive forces and mini-singularities. It killed Dr. Keter, inspiring the 'Keter Class' designation in this continuity.
CODE NAME: Dr. Clef -: A colossal energy being, wielding a sword that annihilates anything that passes too close at the atomic level.
Heavily implied to be the angel guarding the Garden of Eden from the biblical Book of Genesis and has references to other vaguely Abrahamic SCP objects. Contains a transmission from the future during which the being leaves the gate and the rapture begins; a voice calls out to Cain and Abel, 'my two sons.' .
CODE NAME: qntm -: A small ellipsoid-shaped gem surrounded by a gold ring that is warm to the touch. It appears to emit some microwave radiation and has an infinitely complex lock on one end, but the key that would normally fit into it is missing.
No attempts to open the lock have been successful and it is completely indestructible. Said to have been recovered several hundred years ago from the temple of an ancient god of death by a Scottish archaeologist. Implied to actually contain our universe. CODE NAME: Bright -: Not a traditional SCP Article, but in fact one of many 'Talks with Mann' style O5's Tale, wherein an O5 member talks to Dr Mann about something in the world. Details the history and existence of The Factory, one of the older GOIs, as the secret SCP-001.
The Factory itself was a massive factory built in the 1800s by a pagan and devil worshiper. The Factory could create any product imaginable, but had a 'dark side,' where many now-documented SCPs come from. The story of The Factory culminates with a massive battle between regular humans and 'Ferries,' human-appearing anomalies created in the depths of the The Factory; the surviving humans formed the Foundation. Additional documents suggest Dr. Wondertainment was enslaved here as well. CODE NAME: Dr. Mann -: A spiral-shaped gravel path that, when walked one way, goes uphill and downhill normally.
When walked the other, is continuously uphill. Attached to a Tale, Document 001-O5, which discusses how early members of what would become the Foundation used this as inspiration to create anomalous items, to just see what they can do.
Eventually things get out of hand and anomalies they didn't create begin to appear, leading to the ever-increasing number of SCPs. CODE NAME: Dr. Mackenzie -: A collection of objects including a metallic block of unknown material, a key made of that same material, and a diary belonging to an 'Administrator.' The diary follows broken and vague parts of this Administrator's story, and culminates in a document telling how he was from another universe and is attempting to halt or slow down a 'Corruption' that resulted from his people bending the rules of reality too much. The diary says he's found a solution and compiled it in a document, which has yet to be found. CODE NAME: S.
Andrew Swann -: A meta SCP-001, wherein the Foundation discovers and attempts to seal away the truth of its nature. Similar to Kalinin's Proposal, where the entity in question is actually the wiki authors. CODE NAME: Scantron -: An SCP-001 written from the perspective of the, a Group of Interest which represents the US Federal Government's paranormal containment effort.
CODE NAME: Djoric/Dmatix -: A group of thirty-six individuals capable of lessening or neutralizing any SCPs they come near or into contact with. If one dies, a large number of severe supernatural phenomena suddenly occur, resulting hundreds of deaths. It is implied that through fate and forces not clearly defined in the article, they are destined to restore the world. CODE NAME: Roget -: A facility that houses a number of SCP objects, many of which are Keter. Hazardous Keters are contained by other Keters that effectively cancel each other out - if a cell breaches, that area becomes hostile to human life.
Atthis time I do not really have anything new but still haveeverything I have made here. Sims 2 lots download windows 10. Anyway, thank you for visiting mysite and I hope you find something that you like! This is just the most costefficient method of keeping my downloads available. I am still creating - Ihad actually developed a really great world inspired byWillow Creek (from Sims 4) but accidentally deleted thewrong file and lost the entire world:( It wasquite devastating.
If all are breached, a bubble of reality distortion will spread from the building and consume the universe. The article implies that this may have happened before, but reality was partially restored to the way it is now.: A hub for multiple SCP-001 proposals written by djkaktus. All occur in the same universe.
CODE NAME: Kate McTiriss -: An SCP slot that, in-universe, makes whatever is written within it absolutely true. A researcher becomes God. CODE NAME: Kalinin -: An entity/entities which wishes ill of humanity and is the apparent source of all paranormal phenomena in the observable universe and is altering/re-writing certain SCPs to be more difficult to contain or deadlier than they were before. Created in conjunction with an associated Tale series that fleshes the narrative out. A type of 4th wall break where the entities are actually SCP Wiki article writers and editors. CODE NAME: Wrong -: An origin of the Foundation after a reality restructuring event wherein the current reality was created after an Occult War in the previous reality.
Only 13 random people retained their memories of the original reality, and are the only indicators that the event ever occurred. It is revealed at the end of the article that O5-13 did not keep his memories from before the event occurred and lied to be a tiebreaker vote. CODE NAME: S. Locke -: Originally written for the SCP-3000 contest, themed around horror, this is not an origin of the SCP Foundation, but an end of the world. The Sun transforms and causes all living things to melt like wax.
An SCP-Tale hybrid, it is written from the perspective of a Foundation agent attempting to reach safety. The Administrator's note from the 'About the Foundation' page spawned the idea of flipping the dark-bad/light-good dichotomy. CODE NAME: spikebrennan -: A spot designated as Facility T that prevents all human death within its area (to a reasonable extent). Created after God went to kill Moses for not circumcising his son, but Moses's wife Zipporah did before God could kill Moses.
The Foundation has since made a contract with God that limits the time they can use the spot in return for not being killed when they leave. CODE NAME: WJS -: A non-anomalous document that is shared between the members of the O5 Council, which defines what is considered to be the basic laws of reality. Anything that happens outside of what the document defines is considered to be anomalous. Proposals have been made throughout the years, including one from July 1945 (about a month before the events on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) about the laws of nuclear fission. A button at the bottom of the page promises access to the actual document, but actually leads to a letter written to the reader from an O5 member, stating perfectly why the SCP Foundation is cold, not cruel. CODE NAME: BILLITH -: Another Foundation planted life on Earth millions of years ago.
This other Foundation has control over most of the universe. CODE NAME: Tanhony -: An 84 year old person that, when removing/affecting certain parts of their body, can affect how human death works. The Ethics Committee determines that the O5 Council is using it for themselves, and plans to kill them and replace them. The O5 use their mobile task force, Alpha-1 ('Red Right Hand'), the Ethics committee use theirs, Omega-1 ('Law's Left Hand')) and the Administrator uses theirs, Rēsh-1 ('Seat of Consciousness'). The 84 year old person, the Administrator, and many of the O5 Council are killed. CODE NAME: Lily -: An event that will take place 24 hours before the end of all life on Earth during which flowers will grow all over the planet and everyone will become peaceful.
The actual event that ends the world is not described. CODE NAME: Tufto -: An extradimensional being called 'The Scarlet King' that exists in multiple realities and has been attempting to enter this reality for hundreds of years. Said to be the physical embodiment of the antiquity's hatred for the modern ways of life. When dies, he will enter our reality. Is a similar iteration of this SCP-001 proposal. CODE NAME: Jim North -: A reality bender who bends reality to make anomalous toys named Dr.
When Day Breaks Scp 001
Many other SCPs are related to or created by him. CODE NAME: I.H. Pickman -: Similar to The Database, however told differently, where documentation of it can only be written in a narrative format. CODE NAME: The Great Hippo (feat.
Peppersghost) -: A text generator AI that is fed with the entire SCP database and advises the O5 Councilon how to better contain anomalies. After much early success, it is given too much power and it starts to neutralize anomalies and O5/Ethics officials who try to stop it. The ending is left vague for the reader to interpret whether the AI actually did neutralize all the anomalies, or was just messing with the database.
It is the only SCP-001 entry which is 'Explained' (non-anomalous) as it is just a regular computer system running a neural network with lots of information on anomalies. CODE NAME: weizhong thedeadlymoose Drewbear Dexanote -: The Foundation discovers 'The Worm', an entity that destroys reality, and attempts to protect themselves from it by creating alternate realities as shields. A hypothesis is made that this method actually strengthens the entity, but the Foundation denies it for some reason. CODE NAME: Captain Kirby -: O5 Council member O5-13, said to be anomalous after being the sole survivor after the previous Site-01 detonated its nuclear warhead for unknown reasons. At the end of the article however it is revealed that O5-13 isn't anomalous and is the only one of the O5 Council that lacks some degree of anomalous properties; only O5-13 and the Administrator know this. Since O5-13 is different than O5-1 through O5-12 in this regard, they see him as different, and therefore an anomaly.
CODE NAME: Pedantique -: A choose-your-own-adventure tale featuring a Foundation employee with insufficent clearance trying to view a SCP-001 file. Also a take on how Berryman-Langford Memetic Kill Agent works.
