Event 5121

Hide Event 5121

On 03/22/2014, all Foundation facilities within Saskatchewan and neighboring provinces received a "Code 0X1" alert, indicating all external connections to and from Site-AE7 had suddenly ceased.

ALERT: 0X1 - 0X1

Unable to ping SITE-AE7. Contact Site Administrator.

MTF-Gate-1 ("Timekeepers") was dispatched to the site and established a perimeter upon reporting the site as missing. When no changes were recorded following activation of a Scranton Reality Anchor, a search of the site grounds commenced in an effort to uncover what had happened. The search was halted when two Foundation agents entered the site grounds and appeared to demanifest.

Several tests were performed between 03/22/2014 and 03/30/2014 on the former site grounds to determine the scope of its effects.

Subject
Procedure
Results

Remote Surveillance Drone with audio and video feeds.
The drone was piloted above the test site before being slowly lowered towards it.
Upon descending approximately 25 meters above the site, the signal from the drone was lost.

D-10754, equipped with audio and video recording devices.
Subject entered the test site as directed.
Subject appeared to demanifest. Audio and video feeds cut off at the exact moment of disappearance.

D-10556, equipped with audio and video recording devices and a steel cable tethered harness.
Subject entered the test site after being persuaded by guards.
Test results mirror those of the previous. The steel cable was severed near the harness.

Following review of these test results, further attempts at exploration were deemed futile. The perimeter of the site remains secured. Further testing proposals will require Level-B review.

'An Introduction to Baseline Discrepancies'

Hide 'An Introduction to Baseline Discrepancies'

Chapter 13-3: Paradoxical Existence

Authored by: Dr. Brian Holton

Certain phenomena have demonstrated a clear separation between spatial and temporal continuums, in contrast to the common belief that the two are intertwined and inseparable. Depending on several variables, conditions may be met where the temporal flow is halted but the affected portion of reality continues to exist, suspended from local time. This phenomena is relatively simple and is generally easy to reverse by stabilizing local Hume levels.

Discrepancies within a spatio-temporal environment, despite appearing to contradict them, generally manifest within the confines allowed by physics. When the converse of the above occurs and the spatial continuum of an area is halted though the temporal flow continues, several reactions are expected to occur. When matter is suspended from space, the law of conservation of energy remains true. As a result, the affected matter enters a state of "Paradoxical Existence", in which it exists in some form outside of baseline reality. Should the law hold true, matter entering such an affected area will be subjected to the same state.

Paradoxical Existence differs from the more commonly known "pocket dimension". While a pocket dimension is a dimensional space separate from baseline reality, Paradoxical Existence is a state of existence in which a portion of baseline reality exists outside of itself.

The resulting area of non-existence left behind in baseline reality is known as the "break horizon". To the naked eye, this area appears to be unaffected by discrepancies. However, the fact of the matter is that the affected area no longer exists; the observer instead sees the continuing landscape opposite of the break horizon in place of the reality gap.

Test #: 001

Date: 07/17/2015

Author: Dr. Holton

Preliminary conclusions appear to be that Site-AE7 has been tra Actually, screw the format, not like it matters. This is Doctor Brian Holton, Lead Reality Expert of Site-AE7 which now appears to be permanently fucked. It's fair to say I know a thing or two about paradoxical existence; I wrote the damn book. I guess it's all true too. What an ending.

I can literally feel myself being torn apart at the atoms when I stand near the fence, but it seems stable enough. That's definitely the break horizon on the other side. There's the tiniest breeze, so air from the break horizon must end up here too; explains why we haven't suffocated. The site's backup generator still works too, it runs off of CO2 so it's actually taking care of the air we breathe out… We've been able to survive this long because of it.

We ran out of food yesterday. Luckily, Paroux managed to get a terminal connected to the outside. It was nice to catch up at first. I asked them to send some supplies. It's for the others, not me. I already know there's no way out.

Anne, I know you aren't ever going to see this, but I love you. I love you so much. I want to hold your hand, hug you, kiss you. I know you think I'm dead and that I have been for a while… I just hope there's some part deep inside you that knows I love you and haven't stopped since I ended up here. I won't be able to see you again in this life, but maybe there's hope that we'll meet in the next.

See you soon, Anne.

[17:44] 065.1: I'm sorry, Dr. Atmos. Loss is hard.

[17:45] 177.4: Thank you. We went to school together before we were both recruited to the Foundation. Holton was more than smart, and he seemed certain about his theory. Everything seems to hold true during testing as well. I don't blame him for wanting to see his wife, I just didn't expect him to do… this.

[17:45] 065.1: I don't understand… Why would he kill himself shortly after making contact with us? He went over a year without anything before…

[17:45] 177.4: He went that year with hope. I'd guess that it affected him heavily once he figured out Anne thought he was dead. It seemed to be the only thing giving him strength.

[17:45] 065.1: So is the site lost, then?

[17:46] 177.4: Not necessarily. We still have contact and way to send supplies, even if it is one-way and Holton's dead. I'm going to update the dossier. Considering your involvement so far, would you be interested in taking the lead on this?

Site-AE7

SCP Foundation Unilateral Anomalous Containment and Research Facility

POE-AE7-1, located on the right side of the roadway.

Site-AE7 (designated SCP-5121) is a specialized Foundation facility lead externally from Site-65.

Site Director: Dr. Williams

Facilities:

Entrances: POE-AE7-1, also known as the "break horizon." Access is restricted to those with the position of "Alternate Researcher."

Exits: None.

Living Chambers: 66 furnished rooms.

Cafeteria: 50-person seating capacity with a full industrial kitchen.

Containment Chambers: 10 anomalous storage containment lockers, 5 low-security chambers, and 3 medium-security chambers.

Power Generation: One industrialized fuel generator, currently disconnected from the power grid and nonoperational. Also contains a backup CO2-based site generator which has been retrofitted into a dedicated one.

Departments:

Alternate Research: The sole existing department of Site-AE7. Consists of the entirety of the site excluding POE-AE7-1. All staff on Site-AE7 are automatically assigned the position of "Alternate Researcher", regardless of previous experience or role with the Foundation.

Site Purpose:

Site-AE7 acts as a Foundation facility for the containment and research of anomalous objects and organisms deemed too high of a risk to contain and research within baseline reality, either due to a risk of danger or as a result of the possibility of a veil-breaking scenario occurring. Documentation from Site-AE7 is sent to Site-65 via .log and .scp format on a monthly basis for review. Foundation staff members awaiting termination and deemed low-risk may instead opt to be permanently reassigned to Alternate Researcher. Disciplinary measures may be taken as a result of insubordination; these include withholding food rations, water, and fuel supplies.

Footnotes

1. An area of non-existence resulting from certain temporal and spatial phenomena.
