...looks like they're shuttering this place for 
good. We'll keep a small detachment here for 
the storage of a couple anomalies, but the 
R&D department came up with something that 
obviates the need for this kind of process. 
They've dubbed it an 'amnestic’. It's gone 
through trials and seems to do exactly what we 
need itto do. Sites , , , ,and ours are all 
closing. We'll be reassigned to new posts at 
the end of this month. Remaining batches in 
progress should dosed with these new 
‘amnestics' and set to projects as normal in 
lieu of completing the regimen. We've also 
noticed a couple irregula... 


Aside from Foundation records, several notes, likely 
made by D-class occupants, were found either in hidden 


notebooks or in graffiti carved into cell and holding 
chamber walls. 


A woman hugged me and cried today. | do not 
understand why. 


Everything | knew was wrong - everything | 
was told was a lie. 


| thought | saw hell at Borodino, but at least | 
understood what happened there. This defies 
explanation. Barbarism knows no bounds. 


I can't... can't remember my name. Who am |? 
Why is this happening? 


Walls are windows. They can see everything. 


I've been here six and thirty weeks. There is 
no end in sight. Meredith, if you find this, know 
that | never stopped loving you. 


I'm not getting out. | know that much. They'll 
shoot us dead or feed us to that thing before 
we make it out. Maybe someone might find 
this in the future, so that this never has to 
happen again, and if whatever monsters keep 
us here try to cover this up, this will stand as 
proof. My name is Francis Bright, | am - or at 
least was - a Union surgeon in the civil war 
between the northern and southern states in 
the United States of America. | was captured 
in the aftermath of the battle outside 
Chickamauga. From there, | was sent to the 
Andersonville prison. There, | was starved, 
sickened, and | witnessed the death of many 
of my comrades in arms from scurvy and 
dysentery. Our water supply was frequently 
filled with human waste. 


From there, | was shipped across the ocean to 


this godforsaken place. In Andersonville - as 
hellish as it was - the problems were ones of 
logistics. The rebels were out of food, so we 
had nothing to eat. Our suffering was caused 
by lack of supply and incompetence, not 
malice. Here - the facilities are clean, there's 
plenty to eat - but they choose not to utilize 
that to our benefit. The guards and staff are 
well-fed, but we get a small piece of bread, 
and small amount of water per day. Prisoners 
that get sick are only treated if they feel it 
necessary. There are eight of us per room in 
rooms hardly fit for two. We fall asleep every 
night and wake every morning to the sound of 
human suffering. There are no natural light 
sources - we Can hardly tell from one day to 
the next. They'll take ten prisoners, kill two, 
and grind them into paste. They'll take the 
other eight and torture and beat them into 
submission. Sometimes, people go into these 
torture sessions - and come out different. Like 
they forgot who they were, what this is, and 
what kind of hell they're living in. They're 
usually pretty quickly moved away from the 
site too. This place was made to break us. For 
what purpose, | do not know. 


Anyone that tries to stand up to them is swiftly 
whisked away, never to be seen again. | don't 
know what's going on here, or why, and | don't 
think I'm going to get the opportunity to do so 
anytime soon. I'll try to keep adding more to 
this note - but | may be killed or changed 
without warning. If you find this note - please, 
stop whoever is doing this. If they are gone, 
make sure this never happens again.

essential, it is a necessary sacrifice to prevent an EK-class 


Foundation collapse scenario.

SCP-2808: Doomsday 


Item #: SCP-2808 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Personnel are neither required 
nor encouraged to take action regarding SCP-2808. Orders or 
incentives to interact with or research SCP-2808 are invalid. Any 
action taken regarding SCP-2808 must be done of the given 
personnel's volition and on their own time. 


Management of Site-47 is under the purview of SCP-2808's 
assistant. 


Description: Descriptions of SCP-2808 itself are incomprehensible 
in the context of official documentation. A similar effect occurs with 
visual representations. 


Any action taken regarding SCP-2808 in the course of an 
individual's position in a bureaucratic structure results in the 
immediate alteration of that position to "Beautifier", which entails the 
(often violent) subversion of standard operating procedure with the 
goal of producing aesthetically appealing artworks. The subject's 
original position and job responsibilities are impossible to fill or carry 
out, as attempts result in overwhelming visual hallucinations of 
abstract patterns. 


Actions taken regarding SCP-2808 informally, but under 
bureaucratic pressure or direct influence, are spontaneously added 
to that individual's official responsibilities. They then become 
impossible to carry out due to the aforementioned hallucinations. 


Compiling information on SCP-2808 has been exceptionally difficult, 
as personnel are reluctant to interact with or approach SCP-2808. 


An early attempt to neutralize SCP-2808's anomalous properties by 
strategic alterations to the Foundation's charter resulted in 
SCP-2808 inadvertently becoming the Director of Site-47. Attempts 
to remove SCP-2808 have been unsuccessful.

SCP-2809: Des Souvenirs 


Item #: SCP-2809 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: MTF Eta-18 “Voyager Voyeurs” 
has been tasked with use of digital assets to analyse holiday photos 
posted online for evidence of anachronistic content. 


Any identified instances of SCP-2809-1 are to be administered 
amnestics sufficient to remove any memories associated with 
SCP-2809. 


Online marketing is to be monitored for instances of SCP-2809-2 
and targeted cyber-attacks are to be used to remove them. 


Several fully-operational internet marketing agencies have been set 
up in an effort to gain first-hand contact with SCP-2809-3 and 
facilitate tracking it to its source. 


Description: SCP-2809 is a temporal phenomenon affecting 
otherwise non-anomalous individuals who have suffered a recent 
loss of one or both of their parents. These individuals are designated 
SCP-2809-1. 


At some point in an approximately one month period immediately 
after an instance of SCP-2809-1’s parent or parents have died, the 
SCP-2809-1 instance begins seeing a series of banner and pop-up 
advertisements while browsing internet content. These 
advertisements are designated as SCP-2809-2. They offer holidays 
in an indirect fashion by appealing to the viewer’s need for relaxation 
and relief from their troubles. 


If an instance of SCP-2809-1 clicks on an instance of SCP-2809-2 
they are taken to the website of Quondam Holidays which is 
designated as SCP-2809-3. It has proved impossible to locate this 


website through any means other than SCP-2809-1 clicking on 
SCP-2809-2. The routing information contained in SCP-2809-2 is 
invalid and cannot be used to locate the server on which the website 
is hosted through any other means. 


When a holiday is booked through Quondam Holidays then that 
instance of SCP-2809-1 is picked up by an airport shuttle bus the 
following day and is not seen again for a period of time that has 
been recorded to vary from three days to twenty-two days. 
SCP-2809-1 instances that have been interviewed describe having 
been on a holiday during the missing time.

Transcript of interview KL-2809-07. 


This transcript is included as an illustrative 
example of an SCP-2809 event. 


27/06/16 18:00 UTC 


Interviewer: Agent Cathleen Cargill (CC). 
Interviewee: Khatira Mahmood, age 34 of 
Manchester, England (KM). 


The following interview took place at the 
interviewee’s home with Agent Cargill 
assuming the guise of a journalist writing a 
lifestyle article about SCP-2809-3. Khatira 
Mahmood had been identified as probable 
instance of SCP-2809-1 by MTF Eta-18. 


CC: Don’t worry, Miss Mahmood, this is just an 
informal little chat so | can get a clearer picture 
of Quondam Holidays and what they do, 
they’re sooo secretive. | really think they’re 
going to be a big thing next year. Is it OK if | 
call you Khatira? 


KM: Call me Kat, everybody does. 


CC: Me too! | hope it doesn’t get too 


SCP-329: The Cancer Garden 


Item #: SCP-329 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The building in which SCP-329 
is located has been purchased by a Foundation front company and 
designated Site . Access to the site is restricted to Level 3 
personnel. Facility personnel to undergo full-body scans at least 
every 48 hours. 


Since it is unknown how many adherents the "Church of the 
Gardener" possessed, Site should be considered at risk of 
recapture and appropriate measures taken. 


Description: SCP-329 is a room in a derelict building at : 

. Room is in the building's cellar, 6m x 5m, with a steel fire 
door. Room contains six folding beds. Beds are fitted with IV stands 
and leather restraints. 


Five beds are occupied. Occupants are of both standard sexes and 
several races, with ages 16-64. Occupants have been designated 
SCP-329-01 through SCP-329-05 and have been identified as: 


01 - , no fixed address 

02 - , no fixed address 

03 - , former medical student at University 
04 - , no fixed address 

05 - , D-class personnel who was subjected to Event 329-A 


Occupants of beds all have cancer. Type of cancer varies from 
occupant to occupant but all cases have at least three tumors of 
grade T3N1M0 or higher. 


confusing. [Laughs] 
KM: [Laughs] 


CC: So, let’s get to it. Can you tell me how you 
first heard about Quondam? 


KM: | saw an advert online. 


CC: Do you happen to remember what site 
you saw it on? 


KM: | was browsing for... well | was looking at 
funeral arrangements. My mum had just died. | 
think it was Co-op? 


CC: I’m so sorry! 
KM: No, it’s OK. | feel a lot better about it now. 
CC: So there was an advert...? 


KM: Yeah, It said “Don’t let your baggage 
weigh you down, go on holiday with us.” Or 
“get away with us.” Something like that, 
anyway. | was just staring at it for ages and | 
thought to myself; “Why not? | need to get 
away.” So | clicked on it. It took me to this 
website; Quondam Holidays. It was a little 
weird, y know? 


CC: How do you mean? 


KM: | don’t know... usually there’s lots of 
options, lots of places to choose from, right? 
There wasn’t anything like that. There was just 
this one option; “The Quondam Holiday.” 
Barely any information about it just that it cost 
£50 and that it was “exactly what you need.” 


| don’t think I'd have agreed to it, | mean; it 
was basically paying to get kidnapped, right? | 


didn’t even know where | was going but... | 
guess | really needed something right then. 


CC: Oh, Kat. 


KM: No really, it’s fine. It was the best decision 
| ever made. 


| put my details in the form, paid up and it was 
done. Getting rid of all the decision-making 
really sped things up, probably took less than 
quarter of an hour. | had about five minutes to 
start second-guessing myself and then “ping!” 
new email. It was the confirmation pack from 
them. From Quondam. An airport shuttle would 
pick me up in the morning to “whisk me away 
to a mystery destination, so | should get 
packed for sunshine.” 


CC: How exciting! 


KM: Yeah, | guess it was. Honestly | was more 
nervous than excited. 


CC: God, yes. | bet you were. What about the 
trio? Was it luxury travel? 


KM: Well, the shuttle bus was really nice. All 
old-timey and classy. There were big, comfy 
armchairs instead of seats and there was a 
little bar at the back and a waiter that took my 
order and brought me a drink. It was really, 
really great. 


CC: Wow! | heard they went the extra mile but 
that’s amazing! 


KM: It really was. | hadn’t even left town and | 
was already having a good time. | got talking 

to the girl who got picked up after me and we 
were both so excited. Maybe a little drunk too, 


the drinks were all complimentary. 
CC: Now that’s the way to start a holiday! 


KM: Well yeah. | might have got carried away 
though. | must have fallen asleep before we 
got to the airport. | barely remember the flight 
at all. 


CC: Nothing wrong with that, Kat. One plane is 
pretty much the same as any other anyway. 
What about at the other end? Somewhere 
nice? 


KM: Yeah! It was Tenerife! I’d always meant to 
go there but never got around to it, y know? By 
the time | was fully awake again | was in 
another shuttle bus on my way to the hotel. It 
was a lot like the other one actually, just with 
slightly different furniture and newer carpets. 
Even nicer, if anything. 


CC: And the hotel? | bet it was some pretty 
swanky place. 


KM: Uh, no. Not really. It was just this regular 
tourist-trap place. | was actually a little 
disappointed after the journey but then | 
bumped into my parents in the hallway. They 
had the room across from me. 


CC: Your parents? Umm, aren’t they...? 


KM: Dead? Yeah, but this was before that. 
They were in their twenties and on their first 
holiday together, so in love. It all seemed 
familiar from the photos they showed me when 
| was a kid. Different too, though. You don’t 
realise how much the colours fade until you 
see it with your own eyes. How vivid it is. 


CC: How was it? 


KM: Just perfect. We hung out and | got to 
know them, really know them like you do with 
strangers on holiday when you haven't got any 
cares to drag you down. We did regular 
holiday stuff; swimming, beach stuff, got drunk. 
Nothing special but it was great. I’ve never 
been so relaxed. 


CC: Wasn't any of it strange, being with them 
then? 


KM: Yeah, at first. | think | might have freaked 
them out a bit, just going over and starting 
talking to them. But | said | was sorry straight 
after and we started fresh, just people on 
holiday. It was cool, we laughed about it later. 
And at the end, when we said goodbye, it was 
the good kind of goodbye. | told them I'd miss 
them and we all said we'd see each other 
again. It was like it always is in those 
situations: We all really meant it but we knew it 
might well not be true. But this time it was true, 
all of it. 


CC: Oh, that’s just so great! | wish | could do 
something like that. You'd think it’s all lavish 
hotels and globe-trotting but | actually spend 
all my time writing about other people’s 
holidays. 


KM: You should definitely go on one. You 
won't regret it. 


CC: | will! Thanks for taking the time, Kat. This 
is going to make a really good article! 


KM: No problem, it’s been a real pleasure. Let 
me know when your article comes out so | can 
pick up a Copy. 


As a result of this interview Khatira Mahmood 
was positively identified as an instance of 
SCP-2809-1. 


Evidence gathered online and from the homes of SCP-2809-1 
instances and their families strongly supports the hypothesis that 
they spent the missing time on holiday in the recent past, typically 
15-30 years in the past. SCP-2809-1 instances uniformly describe 
this in matter of fact terms and do not seem to find anything unusual 
about this. 


No temporal restructuring events are known to have occurred as a 
result of SCP-2809 events but this is still believed to be a distinct 
possibility, should further events occur. 


Investigation into SCP-2809-3 is ongoing, with most information 
about them gathered from interviews with SCP-2809-1 instances 
and online reviews of SCP-2809-3.
