SCP-1864: The Lonely Liar 


Item #: SCP-1864 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1864 is currently 
contained on SCP-1864-Alpha. Foundation vessels in and around 
the location of SCP-1864-Alpha Materialization events should 
monitor civilian vessel activity during the new moon, and turn away 
vessels that come within 5km of SCP-1864-Alpha. 


Observational Site-1864 has been constructed on SCP-1864-Alpha, 
to provide housing for personnel stationed on the island between 
SCP-1864-Alpha Materialization Events. 


Exploration of SCP-1864-Alpha and SCP-1864 should only be done 
between dusk and dawn on the night of an 1864-Alpha 
Materialization Event. In the event that instances of SCP-1864-3 
should appear, necessary force has been permitted to dispatch the 
entities. 


Description: SCP-1864-Alpha is an island roughly 80km southwest 
of Coats Island within the Hudson Bay, and currently the location in 
which the whole of SCP-1864 phenomenon is contained. Recovered 
information indicates that the structures on SCP-1864-Alpha were 
originally designed for use as a mining colony, but further evidence 
shows that it has been abandoned for more than 75 years. 


SCP-1864-Alpha is itself anomalous, as it is only reachable during 
new moons. Approach to SCP-1864-Alpha on any other day or night 
is impossible; despite appearing to be moving in the direction of 
1864-Alpha, ships will find themselves coming no closer to the 
island. During the time between SCP-1864-Alpha Materialization 
Events, personnel stationed at Site-1864 will be unable to leave the 
island by any means; although various attempts have been made to 
do so, all individuals attempting to leave SCP-1864-Alpha have 


found themselves turned back to the island. 


SCP-1864 is a spatial anomaly situated within a dilapidated building 
at the center of SCP-1864-Alpha. The building appears to have once 
been used as an on-site hospital, although the presence of a variety 
of previously unknown weaponry and technology within the main 
lobby of the building has put this theory in question. An inscription 
written in German has been etched into side of the building's main 
entrance, the translation of which is as follows: 


Follow the pathways of the lonely liar 
Deep into the sunken passages he rots 
Eyes sewn shut with his own wicked hairs 
Locked in the silent sick pit 


SCP-1864 can be accessed by entering through the double doors 
across from the main doors in the lobby of the building containing 
the anomaly. SCP-1864 is a vast labyrinth, constructed to match the 
general aesthetic of 1864-Alpha, which encompasses an area of 
roughly 15km2, considerably larger than the overall area of the 
island on which it sits. Initial exploration of SCP-1864 was facilitated 
by a number of additional inscriptions along the walls of the 
labyrinth, much of which is documented in Addendum 1864-1. 
Within the center of the labyrinth is a large pool of water, roughly 
65m in diameter. SCP-1864-1 is located next to the pool. 


SCP-1864-1 is a Class Il Near-Humanoid entity, standing at a height 
of roughly 4.3m. SCP-1864-1 has an elongated torso that connects 
to the floor beneath it, a single, extendable arm-like appendage that 
connects to the body from the middle of the back, and a vaguely 
human-like face (with the exception of four additional eyes situated 
across the sides and front of the face), and is generally emaciated in 
appearance. 


SCP-1864-1 is generally non-hostile, and is capable of vocalizing in 
German, although it is not particularly responsive to questioning. 
SCP-1864-1 has been willing to elaborate only on the current nature 
of SCP-1864-2, and SCP-1864-3 instances. Additionally, 
SCP-1864-1 appears to be wearing a long white coat, with 
significant modifications to account for its lack of humanoid limbs. 
The only comprehensive interview conducted with SCP-1864-1 to 


date is documented in Addendum 1864-2. 


At the bottom of the pool, which has a depth of approximately 120m, 
is a circular steel grate, roughly 91cm in diameter. The water of the 
pool, along with any other forms of matter, are seemingly incapable 
of passing through this grate. Because of the depth of the pool, and 
the generally poor lighting within SCP-1864, powerful lighting 
systems are required to view the bottom of the pool. Efforts to 
remove the grate have been unsuccessful, and are usually hindered 
by SCP-1864-1. Thermal imaging of the area beyond the grate have 
identified a single humanoid entity, approximately 130cm in height, 
curled in the corner of a small cubical room. It is currently believed 
that this entity, designated SCP-1864-2, is [DATA EXPUNGED] 
(See Addendum-3 for more information regarding the origins of 
SCP-1864-2.) 


Periodically, a number of hostile Class IV Non-Humanoid entities, 
designated SCP-1864-3, will appear throughout SCP-1864, and 
attempt to reach the central pool. These entities move erratically, 
cannot be captured by video or audio monitoring equipment, and 
seem able to alter an individual's memory of how they are 
perceived. As such, descriptions of SCP-1864-3 instances have 
been inconsistent between individuals. To date, all attempts by 
these entities to reach the grate within the central pool have failed, 
usually due in major part to hostility towards the entities by 
SCP-1864-1. Through discussions with SCP-1864-1, it appears as if 
these entities are attempting to reach SCP-1864-2, which would 
result [DATA EXPUNGED] (See Addendum 2 for more information 
on SCP- 1864-2.) 


Additional Information Concerning SCP-1864 
Addendum 1: Initial Exploration Log 


+ Access Log 


The following communications log was 
collected during the initial discovery and 
exploration of the SCP-1864 anomaly, during 
which the nature of SCP-1864 was 


ascertained. Exploration was carried out by a 
three man team of MTF Delta-9 "Rock 
Chalkers" members, designated as follows: 


AQ-TL: Agent , Team Leader 
A9-A: Agent 
A9-B: Agent 


[BEGIN LOG] 


A9-TL: Alright, comms on. Everybody set? 
*Silence* Alright. We're entering the anomaly 
right now. Mark the time... 1730 hours. 


MTF-A9 team enters SCP-1864. No 
disturbances noted on visual or audio feeds. 


A9-TL: Looks like a big stone atrium, 
something on the ground... it's slick, be 
careful. Dark in here, too. Pop lights, guys. 


A9-B: Aye. 


A9-TL: *Silence* That's better. Sweep this 
room, then let's move to that exit over there. 
“Additional silence as agents sweep room” 
Anybody got anything? 


A9-A: Nah, nothing really. Some scratching on 
the wall, might be tool marks? 


A9-TL: Noted. *Si/lence* Alright, we're good. 
Let's move into this hallway. 


MTF-A9 moves into first labyrinth hallway. 
Initial progress is slow while team assesses 
the nature of the labyrinth, and early logs have 
been removed for brevity. 


A9-TL: Another bend over here. Hold on, 
what's that? 


A9-A: Words up here. Some kind of 
inscription? It's in German, | think. 


A9-B: I've got it. *Silence* Ok, so it's directions 
to the center, | think. Mentions a hole, and a 
sickness, and somebody called Pan Hun. "The 
eyes of the healer turned flesh into filth." 
Really disjointed. I'll get images. 


A9-TL: Think you can use those directions to 
get us somewhere? 


A9-B: *Laughter I'm sure it'll get us 
somewhere. 


Extraneous logs removed for brevity. 


A9-B: More words over here, hand me that 
camera. 


A9-TL: What's this? 


A9-B: This just has the word "sick" written 
over and over again. Wait, no, there's a 
reference to Pan Hun over here, too. "...put 
the devil in the well, Pan Hun cried but they 
closed it on him and-" 


A9-A: Shit, there's something up around that 
corner. 


Silence as team members move to view the 
corner ahead of them. Nothing of note visible 
on video recording. 


A9-TL: *Quietly* Ok, there's another way over 
here. Stay quiet. 


Team moves to a different hallway. No 
mention is made of the previous disturbance. 


A9-B: *After some time* So was that...? 


A9-TL: Aye. Let's keep moving. 


Team moves silently for a time, occasionally 
pausing around corners. A9-B leads the way, 
occasionally glancing at his notes. 


A9-TL: , there's more over here. 
Something in the wall, too. 


A9-B: *Pauses* Pan Hun was a good boy, 
Pan Hun said he only wanted to serve the 
Kaiser, Pan Hun was sick, but not as sick as 
he saw us... and more and more mentions of 
Pan Hun. You know, | don't know if these were 
carved into the wall originally, or somebody 
came along and did it, because that's a lot of 
chiseling, you know? 


A9-TL: | was thinking the same thing. Here, 
this was stuck in this nook. A lot of notes, | 
can't read it. 


A9-B: It's a scientific journal. *Silence* Dr. 
Gregory Groswald. Just flipping though it, 
there's more mention of Pan Hun in here, too. 
Worth holding onto, anyway. 


A9-TL: Yeah, keep that. Let's go- *Silence* 
Both A9-TL and A9-B turn to face A9-A, who is 


staring down the hall in front of them, 
unmoving. A9-TL draws his sidearm slowly. 


A9-TL: , walk backwards slowly. Don't 
look away from it. , YOU- 
A9-B: | know. 


All team members continue to stare down the 
hall, which appears vacant on video feeds. No 
sound is detected aside from that of the team 


members. 
AQ9-A: |... it's gone? Did you see? 


A9-TL: Yeah. Let's not stay too long here. Any 
more directions on that wall, ? 


A9-B: Yes. I'm noting them right now. 
Extraneous logs removed for brevity. 
A9-B: You guys hear that? 


Team members stop and listen. The distinct 
sound of a human voice can be heard, albeit 
distantly. 


AQ9-A: It's singing? Yeah, that's definitely 
singing. 


A9-TL: Might be coming up on the end, then. 
Prep your firearms, guys. 


The sound of firearms being readied is heard. 
Team moves quietly for a time. Sound of 
singing increases in volume. 


A9-B: There's a light up ahead. That the exit? 


Team moves towards opening in the wall. A9- 
TL moves through first. 


A9-TL: Jesus fuck, what- 


SCP-1864-1: [TRANSLATED] Good evening, 
travelers.

Addendum 2: Comprehensive SCP-1864-1 Interview 


+ Access Log 


The following interview was conducted after 
Foundation personnel had set up a direct route 
to the center of the labyrinth, and a line of 
communication with SCP-1864-1. The 
interview was conducted in order to ascertain 
the origin of SCP-1864. A translator was used 
to facilitate communication between 
SCP-1864-1 and the Foundation interviewer. 


Interviewer: Agent Arnel Tolan 
Interviewee: SCP-1864-1 


Translator: Agent Trevor Wilson 


[BEGIN LOG] 


Tolan: Alright, | believe we're ready to begin. 
Can you state your name for our record, 
please? 


SCP-1864-1: | am Doctor Heinrich Boff. 


Tolan: Dr. Boff, you have been classified by 
Our organization as an anomalous entity, and 
have been given the designation SCP-1864-1, 
by which you will be referred for the duration of 
this interview. Do you understand? 


SCP-1864-1: | do. 


Tolan: Thank you. Can you tell me what this 
place is? 


SCP-1864-1: * Silent That is difficult to 
answer, | think. Ostensibly, this is a maze 
within a pocket of other-space. But that is not 
what you are interested in, | think. 


Tolan: What is the origin of this anomaly? 


SCP-1864-1: Trickier still. Easy to say we 
found it this way, a mining colony that 
discovered something strange, not in the 
rocks, but in their own back rooms. 


Tolan: What was the purpose of the facility 
afterwards? 


SCP-1864-1: *Si/lence* 
Tolan: SCP-1864-1? 


SCP-1864-1: Many strange things during 
those years, agent. A strange time. The world 
was changing, and the Kaiser feared we would 
not change fast enough. 


Tolan: So then, a military facility? During the 
first world war? 


SCP-1864-1: No, we were never military, 
agent. We were always men of science. Our 
dedication was to God and to chemistry. This 
anomaly was our primary objective when we 
first arrived, yes, but only proved to be 
secondary to what came next. 


Tolan: ...Which was? 


SCP-1864-1: Ah... *Cranes neck* The lonely 
liar. Littke Pan Hun. 


Tolan: Who was Pan Hun? 


SCP-1864-1: Was? No, agent, Pan Hun was 
not. Pan Hun is. Pan Hun lied to us, told us 
stories, let us believe a falsehood. The 
damned little Pan Hun, who- * Trails off 


Tolan: Is something wrong? 


SCP-1864-1: A fishing ship for the colony, they 


found little Pan Hun in a net, drug him out of 
the sea. Sickly little boy, but glorious in 
creation. Those who beheld him could not 
grow ill. Those who were ill and beheld him 
were healed. The poisons, agent, the enemies 
of the state were ruining us, costing us the 
war. We saw Salvation. 


Tolan: What happened to the facility, and 
yourself? 


SCP-1864-1: Little Pan Hun told us he was 
sent by God, a messenger of peace eternal, to 
bring an end to pestilence. Make no mistake, 
agents, there was no shortage of doubters, 
myself included. But the evidence was... 
staggering. 


Tolan: That does not explain what happened 
to the facility, or you. 


SCP-1864-1: *Begins to respond in a sing- 
song voice* Little Pan Hun, the lonely liar. We 
put him in a box when he lied to us, and 
dumped the box into the pit. Can't reach us 
from the pit, Pan Hun, your sick eyes can't see 
us when they're sewn shut. 


Tolan: | don't understand, SCP-1864-1, I- 


SCP-1864-1: The water keeps Pan Hun quiet, 
keeps him put away. Pan Hun woke one night 
and was... different. There was a change in 
the air, then. The rest of them... they were 
angry. Angrier than I. 


Tolan: You mean the instances of 
SCP-1864-3 that we've- 


SCP-1864-1: My friends, my family, all. What 
Pan Hun did to me was nothing. | am still a 


man, although a man lost. The rest, you 
cannot even say that. | put him in the box, 
sewed his sick little eyes shut, and locked the 
box. | can still remember the screaming, like... 
*Trails off 


Tolan: What about the instances of 
SCP-1864-3? 


SCP-1864-1: They want nothing more than to 
pull Pan Hun into the darkness with them, 
agent. | cannot let them open the grate. They 
do not remember the world above, but | do. 
They do not know how they would fail. Pan 
Hun would consume it, like he consumed us. 


Tolan: So then, Pan Hun, what is it?
