The carrier wave is complex, the imaginary component is 


much larger than the real electromagnetic component, 
and it's no wonder my models have been useless. This 
probably explains why it doesn't make humans doubly 
alive or anything like that — it works best on schemata 
perpendicular to our own. | will test this to make sure. 


"Humans are not alone on this planet. We filled this world 
with our bodies and things but also our thoughts, and 
when there was no more room for us in our heads we 
spilled over into other things." 


NOTE: I've inferred this from the things my test subjects 
say. When | tell them this, they seem to think it's 
plausible, if flowery. Seems nigh-impossible to disprove, 
though, which...? 


The spell doesn't penetrate solid or dense objects, since 
the energy field it makes is, in the "traditional" sense, 
very weak. Not sure how to model it — it normally 
decays quickly enough, but each new target can transmit 
the field itself, and at a greater distance each time. 


| don't think there's much risk for a chain reaction when 
performed carefully, but this should be performed 
exclusively indoors, just in case. 


The following is, chronologically, the most recently created 
document that was recovered. 


| have to (?) contend with the obvious question of what 
mechanism(s) allocates thought to non-standard Things 
if | am to grapple with the practical applications of the 
spell. Back-of-the-envelope calculations say it could be 
as little as a meaningful symbol, inscribed with conscious 
intent. [DATA EXPUNGED] 


I'll conduct some more interviews with my test subjects 
and get back to this. 


Pol-3406-7 could not be located after the seizure of the property. 
The SCP-3406-1 instances denied any awareness of the 
aforementioned interviews. 


=== NOTICE === 


On 19 December 2018, the above document was 
leaked to several neutral and hostile Groups of 
Interest by an unknown party within the Foundation. 
Documents detailing the requirements and 
procedure for SCP-3406 were also leaked. 


It is likely that SCP-3406 will be used to disrupt 
normalcy and/or Foundation activities, and could 
potentially result in an MA-Class Mass 
Animation Scenario if used extensively. 
SCP-3406 is considered uncontained.

SCP-3409: The Chocolate Factory 


Item #: SCP-3409 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3409 has been 
hermetically sealed to inhibit the spread of SCP-3409-A. An outer 
perimeter fence topped with barbed-wire has been established. As 
the structure is located in a remote location, additional security 
measures to deter civilians are unnecessary. Nevertheless, warning 
signs indicating a chemical hazard are placed along the perimeter. 
An on-site security team is to guard the structure against attempted 
retrieval by hostile agents. Use of lethal force is authorized. 


Interaction with the structure requires use of a Level-A hazmat suit. 
Personnel assigned to SCP-3409 are to ensure that SCP-3409-A 
does not spread beyond the confines of the structure. If necessary, 
flamethrowers may be utilized to control and prevent the spread of 
SCP-3409-A. 


The IV bags of the infected subjects currently within the structure 
are to be refilled daily. No attempts to retrieve said subjects are to 
be made, in order to preserve the diameter of SCP-3409-B for 
further study and exploration. 


SCP-3409-B is to be monitored through CCTV, for any signs of 
unusual activity. Any unusual activity is to be reported to 
researchers of level 4 clearance or higher. 


Description: SCP-3409 is an abandoned confection production 
facility located in, . Prior to containment, the facility was under 
the maintenance of 21 hostile human subjects in hazmat suits, 
utilizing firearms to deter intruders. The aforementioned subjects 
were successfully apprehended or terminated during initial 
investigations of the anomaly. Interrogation of the subjects revealed 
them to be associated with a previously unknown cult.

these beauties are actively hostile, sir. The kid switched from Flight 
to Fight... guess one of the little ones did too. [chuckles] Can't really

Dr. : Beta? 


B-6335: [chuckles] I'm fine. Big guy just knocked me a ways back 
with his tail. Guess | was [pause] Oh, well, would you look at that. 
Found what's left of Delta-24573, sir. [whistles] If | had to guess, the 
big rock snake wanted me over there, and | wasn't moving. 


Dr. : What's his condition? 


B-6335: Dead. Helmet broke, must have choked on the 440 floating 
around. No damage to his body, though. Suit is all fucked up. The 
corpse is hunched over something, I'm going to slide the body- 
[whispers] Oh, you idiot. You are a goddamned idiot. They sent you 
here to observe, not violate... 


Dr. : What did you find? 


B-6335: It looks like Delta-24573 was holding onto a tiny version of 
one of those snakes. Bastard must have thought the parents 
wouldn't have cared if he tried to take one. Fucking idiot. The 
groups, the hunting... these snakes are pack animals, Command. 
Did the Foundation authorize this? 


Dr. : Sorry, Beta. You're not staff yet. Off the record, though? | 
doubt it.®. 


B-6335: Whatever. Are we done here? | don't think the snakes'll 


The interior of SCP-3409 is infested with a previously unknown, 
invasive fungal organism of non-terrestrial origin, henceforth referred 
to as SCP-3409-A. The fungus is composed mostly of a chocolate- 
like substance that is infectious to human subjects. SCP-3409-A 
originates from a spacetime anomaly, henceforth referred to as 
SCP-3409-B, located in a modified central chamber within the 
structure. The fungus appears as a network of tendrils, clinging to 
any surface it spreads upon, with a growth rate of around 0.6 m per 
hour. This spread is facilitated by the absorption of nutrients from 
terrestrial organisms, including microorganisms. 


SCP-3409-A infects a human subject through physical contact, 
injecting fungal material into the bloodstream through the use of 
nematocysts. The fungus will affect the behavior of the subject 
within 42 hours, compelling them to travel to SCP-3409-B, 
regardless of location. Advanced stages of infection result in a 
subject incessantly speaking in an unknown language. The means 
by which the fungus achieves this is currently unknown. Testing on 
D-Class personnel indicates that self-preservation instincts and 
logical reasoning are severely impaired, and subjects may expire 
before reaching the destination. 


Infected subjects will also develop tumorous growths in advanced 
stage infection, containing the chocolate substance found in 
SCP-3409-A. No form of treatment is known to reverse this process. 
These growths will regularly release spores capable of spreading 
the infection. Infection can also occur through ingestion of the 
chocolate produced within the tumors of infected subjects. 


The central chamber of SCP-3409 contains 103 iron cages arranged 
around SCP-3409-B. 37 36 cages are occupied by live, adult 
humans.! All aforementioned subjects are under the influence of 
SCP-3409-A. Tendrils of SCP-3409-A are affixed to these subjects 
at various points, absorbing nutrients and the produced chocolate. 
The affected subjects are unaware of their surroundings and are 
unable or unwilling to respond to Foundation personnel.2 Nutrition 
and hydration are provided to the subjects intravenously, with IV 
stands fitted on every cage. Attempts to remove a subject from 
SCP-3409-A will result in its expiration. When this occurs, the 
diameter of SCP-3409-B has been observed to decrease, indicating 


a direct relationship with the number of subjects affected by 
SCP-3409-A. 


Prior to containment, the personnel managing the facility regularly 
harvested the chocolate from the bodies of the caged subjects, 
through surgical intervention. The harvested substance was then 
processed with the equipment present to produce consumable 
chocolate candy. The resulting chocolate was prepared in unmarked 
packaging and stored for distribution to civilian populations. All 
instances have been confiscated by Foundation personnel. D-Class 
that consumed the chocolate during testing reported that it is of high 
quality and good taste before being infected by SCP-3409-A. 


SCP-3409-B occupies a fixed location on the floor of the central 
chamber. It is stable, circular in shape with a diameter of roughly 

1 m, and is believed to be an extrauniversal aperture. Only 
inanimate matter and SCP-3409-A are capable of passing through 
the anomaly. Study and exploration of the space beyond the 
anomaly are possible through the use of remote-controlled drones. 


The area beyond SCP-3409-B is vast, with its full size currently 
impossible to determine. Video footage reveals that the area 
consists mostly of barren landscape consisting of sediment, 
although several non-terrestrial organisms have been observed. 
Low light levels are indicated? due to heavy concentrations of 
particles suspended within the atmosphere. Larger particles of 
undetermined origin are observed to constantly descend from the 
upper atmosphere, bearing a resemblance to marine snow. No 
vegetation capable of photosynthesis is indicated. 


Several structures appearing terrestrial in origin have been observed 
within this space, including, but not limited to, unidentified aircraft, 
unidentified oceangoing vessels, at least one unidentified battle 
tank, and numerous bones of various species, including an apparent 
whale skeleton. The means through which these objects came to 
their current location is unknown. Furthermore, several structures 
corresponding to no known human civilization have also been 
observed. 


All organisms observed within the anomaly are invertebrates with 
hydrostatic skeletons, adapted to a low light environment, believed 


to navigate through the use of chemoreception, and appear to be 
composed of a chocolate-like substance. The intelligence of these 
organisms has yet to be determined. Researchers project that 
approximately 90% of native species remain undocumented, due to 
the size of the anomaly. The observed organisms exhibited no 
hostility toward remote-controlled drones. A list detailing the entities 
encountered are listed in the following document.
