SCP-384-1 has been described as polite and cooperative. It claims 
that its name is , reported missing by her family in 196 . 
When asked about its current whereabouts, SCP-384-1 will say that 
it cannot see anything or hear anything besides the interrogator’s 
voice. SCP-384-1 apparently knows nothing of SCP-384 or its 
properties. An excerpt of an interview log is given below:

Unlabeled (29 July 1963) 


All of the bones apparently belong to same person. Not the first time 
we've encountered this situation, but never a welcome development. 


Forest Examination VII (12 September 1963) 


I've been feeling along the boundaries of the forest corridor for quite 
some time. On this examination, | have found a narrow pathway 
partway into the corridor that appears to correspond to Scenes 
31-43. This is a unique portion of the film, in that it could have been 
filmed anywhere, and does not necessarily represent a fixed location 
in this plane. This could, theoretically, account for the whereabouts 
of the film's characters, who have not been present in this plane 
since at the very least 1954. Likely that | will be undertaking further 
explorations of this new side-corridor in fifty meter increments during 
my next scheduled visits. 


Unlabeled (23 September 1963) 


| haven't taken a sound recorder since the first few visits. | must 
remember to bring one next time. 


Unlabeled (28 September 1963) 


It gets darker here. Something about this specific place in the forest 
is most certainly different. The tapes don't seem to play anything 
back, but I'm increasingly certain that there is some form of life in 
the woods. 


Dr. Dumont's field notes conclude at the 28 September 1963 entry. 
Dr. Dumont did not return as scheduled from his 28 September 1963 
visit to Plane-3084, and was Officially listed MIA until 28 September 
1968, when he was recovered in a significantly agitated state from a 
police station in Lyons, France after attempting to clandestinely 
contact Foundation assets in the area. Dr. Dumont was unable to 
recall his whereabouts for the previous five year period in 
debriefings, and was granted a medical retirement several months 
later. 


Addendum 3084.3 - Update and Analysis 


At the request of Assistant Researcher Rania Kassar, SCP-3084 
was re-authorized for examination on 12 October 2016 as part of a 
training and development assignment. Assistant Researcher Kassar 
was granted security clearance for Plane-3084 as part of a 
comprehensive data review and entry revision procedure, and has 
filed the following addendum: 


Review Focus 1: Known Visitors to Plane-3084 


Dorian Giroux, 5th Duke of Mechelen: Mechelen is known from 
his personal testimony to an undercover Foundation operative in the 
1960s to have received a copy of SCP-3084 and viewed it. The 
then-Duke of Mechelen was at one time a prominent member of the 
Belgian royal family, however he grew estranged from them in the 
1930s. This is concurrent with the time period of his first and only 
visit to Plane-3084, which he described as a disturbing and 
unpleasant experience. 


At the time of his visit, Plane-3084 was populated by simulacra of 
the characters depicted in Seven Strangers at a Feast. These 
characters would re-enact the events of the film on a fixed cycle of 
time, completing a performance and then retiring to the country 
house for a period of several hours before repeating. Mechelen 
apparently witnessed two full performances from a fixed perspective 
inside the country house, noting that the characters would interact 
with him if engaged during portions of the film's narrative that were 
set outside of the house. 


In the account of Mechelen, these characters would not speak, but 
would engage non-verbally. He notes being warmly greeted by the 
Aristocrat and the General, and regarded with fear by the Young 
Man. On several occasions the Aristocrat appeared to instruct the 
Boy to stay in Mechelen's vicinity, which Mechelen discouraged. 
When pressed, Mechelen claimed to not remember any interactions 
with the Guest. 


Hermann von Dietrich: Von Dietrich was primarily known as a 
substantial owner of Ruhrkohle AG, a large German mining 
company, and personally oversaw operations at the Delacroix Gold 


Complex in what is now the Central African Republic. Von Dietrich 
was also a major investor in Filmstudio Babelsberg, a significant 
organization in early German cinema. 


In a letter to Erich Pommer, an influential German film producer, Von 
Dietrich recounts what he describes as a dream following his 
viewing of a film delivered to his offices in Frankfurt. The contents of 
this "dream" are believed to be an account of a visit to Plane-3084. 


Von Dietrich describes a different set of interactions than Mechelen. 
Von Dietrich recounts a landscape "exactly as that of the peculiar 
film screened in my private theater the night prior," where all of the 
character of Seven Strangers at a Feast are arrayed inside the 
house, similar to Scene 67 of the film. The Guest is said to have 
addressed him directly, speaking in a loud, deep voice, repeatedly 
stating "Peter, kill and eat," while directing Von Dietrich to partake of 
the titular feast. 


Despite expressing a desire to leave the scene in his recounting of 
the event, Von Dietrich describes being handed a gilded plate and 
sitting down at the table, and then eating several handfuls of flesh 
handed to him by the Guest. His description of the event is 
reproduced below: 


"Each morsel that | ate was delectable, as though | had been 
famished and finally set to a meal after a long day's ride out of the 
jungle. And yet my gut recoiled at the foul knowledge of what | was 
eating. | could feel each individual bite swirling in my stomach, 
wishing to heave up the contents then and there on the table, even 
as | licked the grease from my lips and held out my plate for more." 


Von Dietrich describes scenes similar to this one as a "recurring 
dream" in subsequent correspondence. Records of Hermann von 
Dietrich become much more sparse following his divestment from 
Ruhrkohle AG in 1932, and he is believed to have perished in the 
opening years of World War Il. 


Archibald Rayne and Amelia Holmwood: Archibald Rayne, a 
director of the London-based Shaw Brothers Export Bank, is 
confirmed via postal receipts of the time to have received a copy of 
Seven Strangers at a Feast. Unlike other known recipients, Rayne is 


believed to have been fascinated and intrigued by the film, watching 
it repeatedly and analyzing its contents in his private journal. In his 
repeated visits to Plane-3084, he describes experiences similar to 
those encountered by Duke Mechelen. 


In 1947, Rayne showed the film to Amelia Holmwood, a fringe figure 
in the London Spiritualism community earlier in the century known 
primarily for her work in automatic photography. Holmwood began 
accompanying Rayne on visits to Plane-3084, and the pair studied 
the film and its associated phenomenon intensely. Eventually, both 
persons came to the conclusion that the film's primary theme was 
liberation, and that Plane-3084 represented a realm analogous to 
Christian concepts of Purgatory. 


Rayne's journal entries become increasingly abstruse after reaching 
this conclusion, couched heavily in terminology and concepts 
apparently borrowed from Liber AL vel Legis and other works 
associated with the Thelema movement. References to "reversing 
the course" appear frequently, and accounts of subsequent visits to 
Plane-3084 suggest that several characters of Seven Strangers at a 
Feast are now absent from the plane. Both Rayne and Holmwood 
appear to have disappeared sometime after February of 1950, with 
Rayne being declared legally dead in 1958 after a lengthy inquest 
into the disposition of his estate. 


Review Focus 2: Jacob Nkurunziza 


At the conclusion of this review, no official records of Jacob 
Nkurunziza have been confirmed to exist. Based on thematic and 
stylistic examinations of several other works of anomalous art from 
the period, however, Nkurunziza is believed to be associated with 
other documented SCPs; The Clouds Burn Down (anomalous visual 
phenomenon, 1923), Four Dot Four Dash (unexplained telegraph 
signal, 1924), and The Final Parliament (manufactured mass 
delusional episode, Madrid, 1930). 


References to "Black Jakob" appear in correspondence between 
groups known to be associated with anomalous art in Western 
Europe between 1919-1928. These are suspected to refer to Jacob 
Nkurunziza. 


Cultural analysis of these artworks suggests that Jacob Nkurunziza 
was born and spent significant amounts of time in the Kingdom of 
Burundi. At some point in his life, Nkurunziza likely received a 
European-style university education. The extent to which his work 
appears to have been recognized in the larger artistic community 
consists primarily of negative reactions to several of his pieces in the 
Dadaist movement. 


Historical analysis of artistic subcultures and associated works have 
identified possible appearances by Nkurunziza in 1942, 1957, 1979, 
1988-89, and 2014. Despite the apparent anachronism of these 
occurrences, Jacob Nkurunziza cannot be declared inactive at this 
time.

LEVEL 4 ACCESS REQUIRED 


SCP-3085: Stuck in 2007 


Item #: SCP-3085 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: World 346 has been delisted 
from the Old School RuneScape official website and game client, as 
well as all popular third-party clients, with an official cover story of 
the server being unable to stay online due to engine issues. The 
Foundation, with the cooperation of Jagex Ltd., has acquired the 
server through a front company and it can only be accessed from 
within Site 68. A team of five researchers has been assigned to 
communicate with SCP-3085 while regularly playing the game, 
which continues to remain connected to the non-anomalous live 
game and receives regular updates. 


As SCP-3085 appears to experience significantly greater emotional 
satisfaction when larger numbers of players are present on the 
server and the game world is otherwise non-anomalous, Site 68 
staff who wish to play the game may use World 346 during their off- 
hours (access to the Ardougne agility course is restricted to 
SCP-3085 researchers). This arrangement is contingent upon 
SCP-3085’s continued cooperation; should it refuse to share 
information with researchers, access to World 346 will be locked out 
to regain its compliance. 


Possible use of SCP-3085 in reverse amnestic protocols is pending 
review by O5 Command. 


Description: SCP-3085 is an anomalous entity present in Old 
School RuneScape, a legacy MMORPG launched in February 2013 
by Jagex Ltd. and based on an August 2007 backup of the game. 
SCP-3085 takes the appearance of a human NPC with a pale white 
skin tone and torn black clothes, appearing to float in mid-air above 
the city of Ardougne. It is only visible on World 346 while using the 
rooftop agility course in that city, and apparently cannot move from 


this spot, though it possess the ability to see the entire game world 
(see Interview Log 073). It is labeled in-game as “Memory” and its 
examine text is “Whose, though?” 


If a player clicks the “talk” option and interacts with SCP-3085, the 
player will say “Why are you crying?” as the NPC repeatedly uses 
the “cry” emote. SCP-3085 will then respond with “Oh, | can’t 
remember anything!” During this interaction, neither the player or 
SCP-3085’s names are present in the chat box, and are instead 
replaced with a black bar. The text used during the conversations is 
pitch-black and in the “RuneScape UF” font, which is not used for 
non-anomalous in-game chat boxes. Additionally, SCP-3085’s sprite 
will appear on the right side of the chat-box, opposite the side NPCs 
normally do. 


After these first two chat boxes, SCP-3085’s anomalous properties 
begin to manifest. SCP-3085 possess the ability to read the player’s 
thoughts and project them onto the dialogue within the chat box; 
during its initial discovery, these were generally thoughts of distress 
and confusion from unknowing players (see Discovery Log 002). 
Additionally, SCP-3085 can periodically gain knowledge of the 
subject’s memories, typically ones the subject has forgotten or only 
has a vague recollection of. SCP-3085 then uses these memories in 
conversation with the subject, using them to try to elicit positive 
responses while attempting to present them in a way that makes the 
subject feel good about themselves. 


SCP-3085 lacks compulsive properties, and any subject interacting 
with it can walk away or log off from the game at any time without 
suffering any ill effects. If the subject expresses discomfort or 
distress, SCP-3085 will express remorse and ask the subject not to 
leave. 


Interestingly, SCP-3085’s memory recall ability appears to be able to 
bypass all known amnestic drugs currently in use by the Foundation 
and other organizations.’ Although SCP-3085 lacks the ability to 
target and select specific memories from the subject, the memories 
are generally ones capable of creating a positive response in the 
context of the conversation. It allows and even encourages those 
who interact with it to return to it for later conversations; however, 
after roughly half an hour of conversation, SCP-3085 will refuse to 


continue interacting with the subject, instead encouraging them to 
“go play the game”. 


Research has determined that SCP-3085 will allow continued 
conversation after approximately two hours have elapsed, provided 
that the player has gained either 25,000 total experience or 1 quest 
point. If a subject attempts to interact with SCP-3085 prior to the two 
hour mark, they will receive the in-game message “He doesn’t want 
to talk right now.” If the subject attempts to interact with SCP-3085 
without the requisite experience or quest point, it will simply reply 
“Hah! Not until you play the game some more.” Accordingly, five 
researchers have been assigned to play Old School RuneScape and 
interact with SCP-3085 regularly. 


SCP-3085 was discovered on 5 Dec 2013, when rooftop agility 
courses were added to the game. Prior to this date, SCP-3085 
claims it had existed in the game in the same spot it presently 
occupies, but had no way of interacting with players or being seen 
by them. After being reported in-game and briefly appearing on the / 
r/2007scape subreddit, SCP-3085 came to the Foundation’s 
attention and amnestics were issued to all players, staff members, 
and subreddit subscribers aware of its existence after IP addresses 
were procured and the persons tracked down. [DATA EXPUNGED] 
however, the Ethics Committee approved its acquisition given the 
lack of harm to anyone involved.

Footnotes 

1. Whether this ability extends to memories lost to other anomalous 
objects, such asSCP-909, is under investigation. 

2. Note: Prior interviews failed to yield any information about 
SCP-3085’s background, as it refused to answer any information 
about itself, instead responding with “Not yet, | like to be a little 
mysterious.”
