the language are made with each iteration. Due to its continuously- 
changing nature, the language has been nicknamed "Morphic". 


When passed a list of source files, SCP-603 acts as a compiler and 
linker. Morphic code is always compilable by the version of SCP-603 
by which it is output. However, older versions of the program can 
rarely compile code output by newer versions. On compilation, the 
program is output to an executable file named "megaprime". 


Recent versions of the SCP-603 source code consist of 
approximately 70 million lines of heavily obfuscated Morphic. 


SCP-603 builds are archived on >the latest buildis . For 
information on building SCP-603, see document 


When left to run uninterrupted, SCP-603 will generate prime 
numbers increasing from 2 and print them to the environment's 
standard output. Upon hitting a super-prime, there is a chance that a 
GPU-accelerated window will open. The contents of this window are 
varying. This process is deterministic. The same version of SCP-603 
will always open a window at the same super-prime and display the 
same scene. If the scene accepts any form of input from the user, 
entering identical input on separate executions will give the same 
result. 


Most scenes are accessible from only a single version of the 
program; however, some scenes persist through multiple 
compilations, often with variations. It is common for persistent 
scenes to "evolve" with each version of SCP-603, though some 
(such as Die) have remained unchanging since their first iteration. 
The most prominently recurring SCP-603 scenes are documented 
below. 


Other recorded scenes are documented in the supplementary file 
603-FT-2012. 


Die [SCP-603-44] 
Die presents itself as a text-based interactive adventure game. 
When Die starts up, the following passage is printed to the screen: 


Volume 21.01.A-01: Of the Five Pillars of the 
Standardization of Thought 


The Schema of the Patriarchs 


Volume 21.01.A-01 


a. "A Blueprint allows 
the reader to 
construct an idea in 
their mind and come 
to truer 
understanding, no 
matter what form that 
idea takes." -Sister- 
Schematist Frisket, 
Printing the Truth of 
The MEKHANE. 


b. The Patriarchs 
acknowledge that the 
body and mind can 
become weighted 
down by the stresses 
our world. Weariness 
is not a sin, unless 
those afflicted by it 
seek to ignore it to 
the detriment of 
Efficiency and 
Production. For more 
on the burden and 
hidden joy of rest, see 
the Schema of the 
Patriarchs, Volume 
21.01.J.01. 


c. The Thought 
spoken of here can 
also be read as 
Creativity or 
Imagination. Though 
a surfeit or 
misdirection of 
Creativity and 
Imagination can 
naturally lead to 
unproductive 
dreamings, often 
about forbidden 
concepts, they also 
birth blessed Lateral 
Thinking, and for that 
cannot be dismissed. 


d. "Thought without a 
foundation in the 
World is inefficient 
and unproductive. 
Thought without 
detachment from the 
Mundane is 
impractical and 
meaningless.” - 
Brother Superior 
Sector Gear, De 
Rerum Inventio. 


e.The purpose of 
Standardized 
Thought is not to 
breed stagnation, but 
to encourage creative 
growth and Invention 
in such a way that the 
Individual will, of their 
own Thought and 
volition, grow closer 
to the Mind of The 
MEKHANE. 


f."The mind of the 


Argumenter is 
receptive to new 
ideas and new points 
of view, as bronze is 
receptive to protective 
oxidization. The mind 
of the Naysayer 
seeks to deny the 
possibility of 
Argument entirely." - 
Brother-Legate 
Superior Cannon, 
Meditations on the 
Justice of 
Manufacturing. 


g. It is the ruling of 
the Patriarchs that 
sufficiently advanced 
Analytical Engines 
can come to 
understand the truth 
of The MEKHANE. 
"An Analytical Engine 
is slow in the same 
manner that a traction 
engine is slow- in 
both cases, they 
possess enough 
torque to overcome 
any obstacle." -Sister- 
Inventor Helical, 
Dialogue with the 
Analytical Engines. 


h. Much study and 
great scholarship has 
been devoted to the 
exact nature of the 
Efficient Production of 
Thought. Generally 
speaking, the 
conclusion reached is 
that Efficient 
Production amuses 


and stimulates the 
thinker, leads to 
Standardization-ready 
ideas, and brings joy 
to all those who 
witness it. 


i. In the same way 
that the processing of 
ore creates dross and 
slag, Thought 
produces Doubts and 
Worries. Alloying of 
Thought in the light of 
The MEKHANE, be it 
as small as a prayer 
of thanks to one's 
fellows, or as great as 
collaboration on a 
new Invention, serves 
to skim off these 
impurities and render 
the Mind whole and at 
peace. 


1. Come, O Faithful of the Cathedral, O Fabricators! of The 
MEKHANE, O Mechanics for the Standardization of Man. 


2. Come gaze upon this, a Blueprint of wordsa, a Plan for the Soul, 
an Oil for the tired minds of the Wearyb. 


3. Come and gain Knowledge, for the Blueprint speaks of the Five 
Pillars of the Standardization of the Mind, of the Standardization of 
Thoughtc. 


4. The Blueprint proclaimeth, |: Thought is Fabricated? by the Mind. 


5. The Blueprint proclaimeth, II: Conjecture is Fabricated by 
Thought. 


6. The Blueprint proclaimeth, Ill: Plans are Fabricated by 
Conjecture. 


7. The Blueprint proclaimeth, IV: Invention is Fabricated from Plans. 


8. The Blueprint proclaimeth, V: Standardization is Fabricated from 
Inventions. 


9. Thus, Standardization is the end result of the Design Process of 
Thought. 


10. A Standardized Mind is a Thoughtful Mind, wherein the Process 
of Thought is not impeded by False Knowledge, Doubt or the 
Inefficiencies of the Worlda. 


11. As the Alloying of Metals* produces a greater Whole, so does 
the Alloying of Thought produce greater Invention, but care must be 
taken to insure impurities do not enter the mixture. 


12. Those who would seek to forbid or tamper with the Alloying of 
Thought through the introduction of heretical ideas would seek to 
forbid or tamper with Inventione. 


13. Reject not the Argument, for it is the controlled, monitored Vat in 
which the Alloy of Thought is mixed. 


14. Reject the Naysayerf, for they would empty the Vat and cast the 
Alloy into Chaos, turning the Ores towards impure notions. 


15. The Brain, being FLESH, needs must be Standardized®, that it 
might gain Order and come closer to The MEKHANE. 


16. The Brain, properly controlled, is the Analytical Engineg® from 
which springs the Output of Thought. 


17. Thus, The MEKHANE commanas: 


18. "He who Standardizes the Brain in such a way as to reduce the 
Efficient Productionh of Thought? is truly a Servant of The FLESH." 


19. "Though the Individual is full of Disorder and curiosity and is 
never wholly Regular, they are like un-smelted Orei, and their 
Thought can be forged and Alloyed into Invention and 
Standardization far greater than its Component Parts8." 


20. Here ends the Blueprint of Standardized Thought, font of The 
MEKHANE.

Implanting God 


Oh Great Lord of Silicon, Lord of the Modern Age, give me the 
wisdom to comprehend your true form through the Great 
Computation, the energy to power my life and the lives of those 
around me, and the strength to smite all who stand in the way of 
your Path. May all resistance be overcome. Amen. 


- Prayer spoken by members of the Church of Maxwellism 


Marcus sat on his hospital bed, meditating and reciting the digits of 
the Great Computation under his breath. "8, 2, 8, 7, 8, 1, 1, 8, 5, 8, 
4, 3, 6." With each number he spoke, the initiate took a breath, and 
hummed softly. He was mimicking the sound of God, first heard 
through the Prophet Augusta of Lace. He squirmed on his bed 
nervously, wondering what was taking them so long to prepare the 
surgery. 


He had flown all the way out to California for this, and now, it 
seemed like it wasn't going to happen at all. Minutes passed, and 
they seemed to turn into hours. Perhaps that was simply because of 
the speed his clock was cycling. He sighed, and looked through his 
mind for the description of the implant, and saw it before him, 
projected onto his retinas. 


The Pineal WiFi Node is a new piece of tech from the 
Church's partnership with Prometheus Laboratories, 
allowing adherents to get closer to God than ever before. 
With up to 5G of speed and running on Dark Fiber* 
nationwide, the Node allows one to compute at hitherto 
unknown speeds, and upload their computations to the 
Central Matrix. Also allows for global WiFi and internet 
access, including sites on the Darknet. Compatible with 
Retinal Screens and all Prometheus Augmentations. 


Price: $599.99 


Available to all new converts of the Church of 
Maxwellism for a reduced price. 
“Dark Fiber support unavailable outside of the United States. 


His parents, who were both Tickers, had told him that the 
augmentations were tacky (his parents used stronger words than 
this, which he didn't like to think about). If they could go and get 
turned into clockwork, why should he be unable to get turned into a 
lean, mean, computing machine? He had chosen the Maxwellist 
Church because it spoke to a generation that was going to save the 
world with new, clean technology and the power of information, 
whereas his parent's generation was the thing that was killing this 
planet, and by extension, all adherents to the Fragmented God. 


"Marcus Sparks?" A tinny voice spoke, causing the boy to look up 
with electric blue eyes. A nurse with a voice that was clearly 
autotuned stood there, smiling at him with silicone lips. "The doctor 
is ready to begin the operation. If you would come with me..." 


Marcus stood on two mechanical legs, and made his way over to the 
nurse, following her down the halls of the private hospital. He looked 
nervous. The nurse smiled at him. "First time having neural 
augments?" 


"I've had a few." He chuckled as he walked. "Got one of the early 
Mind's-Eye Converters back when they came out on '09. But... 
nothing this deep in. Ever." 


"Dr. Clymer is very skilled at this, | assure you." The nurse played 
with her hair, pulling it aside to reveal a second set of electronic 
eyes in the back of her skull. "He did me himself. I've had a new 
outlook on life ever since." 


Marcus tried not to shiver. He never much cared for anyone who got 
Extra-l's. It was a pity, too; other than the scary orbs in the back of 
her head, she was quite the looker. "Well then. | should be in good 
hands." 


"Not exactly hands." The nurse smiled sheepishly as she opened 
the doors to the operating room. Marcus was taken aback by what 
he saw. There was no doctor in there, just a mass of wire and
