03/07/1961: "I've been stationed here for 
about a month, but today was the first day that 
| actually took a walk away from my apartment 
and the office. This place is amazing - nothing 
like back in Denver, but still beautiful in its own 
way. The Mick-Points! really know how to 
spruce up the place, all of the sidewalks clean 
and the planted trees with purple-and-yellow 
flowers. The boardwalk they have bordering 
the ocean is really a sight to behold in the 
evenings. | won't lie, getting stared at 
constantly is an annoyance, with me always 
wearing my work suit while the natives all got 
casualwear. That said, | had a kid come up to 
me today asking if | was from ‘beyond the 
water.' When | told him yes, he just said, 
‘Welcome to our land’ and ran away giggling in 
that Mick accent. | gotta say, it was pretty 
charming." 


11/23/1961: "After exploring most of the island 


| did find out that the Mick-Points have allowed 
many others on the island as well - including 
some of the anomalous parties that we 
normally have to compete with for Carts and 
Cans. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad 
thing that we're all together on the same 
neutral ground." 


12/11/1961: "Okay, so here's what I've got so 


far: 


The Suits have what looks like a full- 
blown embassy here, surrounded by 
those baby-blue flags with the globe and 
star on them. I'd have known more if 
several of their goons hadn't surrounded 
me and asked me to leave. 

The Cart Shoppers have several of their 
subsidiary stores scattered throughout 
the business district - selling everything 
from high-end dresses to overpriced 
food. Honestly, | may get a dress for my 
Jobelle while I'm here and send it back 
home as a Christmas gift, it's just too 
bad that MC&D don't do government 
discounts. 

Some whacked-out toy store belonging 
to a'Dr. Wondertainment' apparently sits 
across the street from an MC&D front, 
which of course the MC&D employees 
bad-talk every chance they get. 
Probably some beef between those two 
that | don't know-or-care about. 

| did see at least one bar-and-grille here 
called 'Chicago Spirits & Pizza,’ and the 
guys inside looked shady-enough to 
keep me from going in. No idea if that 
place is actually connected to the 
bastards that UIU investigated back 
during Prohibition, could just be a 


coincidence. 


"I'll let the office know what | found soon. Right 
now we're bogged-down chasing around a 
bunch of wanted Can Men® from all over the 
US that came here to hide from the law. Guess 
they never thought Uncle Sam would get here 
too!" 


04/19/1964: "One of the Can Men we arrested 
a few weeks ago has been raising hell in one 
of the holding cells. Crazy bastard's already 
wanted for a bunch of robberies he pulled back 
in the States - only reason UIU gives a shit is 
‘cause the bastard can change his skin tone to 
match other races. Anyway, we've had to 
smack him around a bunch with the nightsticks 
to try getting him to stop, but the bastard is just 
determined to piss everyone off, screaming 
about how the island was doomed. He was 
arrested in a suburban housing area on the 
island known for dope, and | swear he's just 
lost it entirely, but we still gotta send him back 
on the ferry for Indefinite Detention. Ever since 
we found him he keeps screaming to anyone 
who'll listen about how the island was doomed 
by the King and that there's no hope for this 
place and yadda yadda yadda, you get the 
idea. Even if he was right, not like | give a 
damn. I'm shipping out in 6 months anyway to 
be rotated back to civilization.” 


Closing Statement: Luckily for the UIU, the server 
storing these records backed-up all data to the FBI's 
Records Department on 01/20/1965 (in accordance with 
the Federal Records Act), allowing more insight into Hy- 
Brasil fieldwork for this investigation. 


Locale Summary (Post-Event): The island of Hy-Brasil is unlikely 
to ever recover from the events of 06/13/1988, and now has an 
estimated population of under 700. No further UIU personnel are to 


be stationed on Hy-Brasil until further notice, and all personnel 
previously-stationed there are to be considered killed in the line of 
duty, with their families notified. 


Codename: "Reptilic Cephalopod" 


Physical Description: Creature appears to have been a 100 meter 
tall animal with the top-half of its body resembling that of a crocodile 
with five equally-distanced arms around its body and the bottom-half 
of its body resembling that of a five-tentacled squid. 


Capabilities: The creature was, according to UIU Agent Watkins' 
investigation, capable of breathing fire from its mouth up to 60 
meters in front of itself. This ability is not fully understood at this 
time. The creature was also (due to its massive size) able to inflict 
massive damage to the surrounding area, using its five arms and 
five tentacles to destroy buildings and grab prey for consumption. 
The creature seems to have maintained a competent-enough 
intellect to be capable of hunting intelligent prey, including those 
hidden inside buildings and motor vehicles. 


Purpose/Motive: Unknown/Survival 


Modus Operandi: Despite its size the creature was highly mobile, 
sought-out prey for consumption whilst protecting itself from hostile 
attack, and responded to extreme stress with its anomalous fire- 
breathing ability. 


Behavior: The creature behaved in an enraged state from the time 
that it was first sighted to its elimination by hostile forces, and was 
highly-destructive in both its hunting and attack patterns. 


A: Two Samples of Creature Muscle/Tissue: Purchased from an 
elderly man who claimed to formerly be part of an anomalous 
Chicago group, possibly the Chicago Spirit. This elderly man was 
also in possession of several photographs of the creature itself, 
taken during the creature's initial landfall and subsequent attack, 
which UIU Agent Watkins was unable to purchase due to lack of 
funds. 


B: Eighteen Photographs: One day before the UIU's dispatch of 
Agent Watkins, he was issued a standard Mamiya ZE 35 SLR 35mm 
camera to document anything suspicious relating to the case. He 
produced 18 photographs of various locations where the creature 
had caused significant damage to persons and property, some 
photos being temporarily withheld and pending release as they 
depict graphic images of individuals crushed or ripped apart by the 
creature. 


UIU Agent Elliot Watkins Welfare Check - 
Secret Clearance Required 


Foreward: Given the graphic and disturbing photos 
taken by Agent Watkins during this deployment, he was 
given a psychological evaluation to check for possible 
symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress on 11/03/1988: 


<Begin Log, 1330 Hours> 


[Agent Watkins enters the room, closing the 
door behind him and sitting across from Dr. 
, the UIU's dedicated psychologist.] 


Agent Watkins: "Afternoon Doc, | was told 
you needed to see me." 


Dr. : "That's correct, Agent Watkins. May | 
call you Elliot?" 


Agent Watkins: "Sure." 


Dr. : "Excellent. Now, you may be aware of 
the UIU's service policy regarding care for 
agents who have witnessed... undesirable 
things in the field." 


Agent Watkins: [Laughs.] "So you're worried 
that | can't serve as good as before? Yeah, the 
stuff | saw on the island keeps me up some 
nights, but I'm fine. | saw worse things working 
for the DEA back in Colombia." 


Dr. : "You very well might have, but that 
doesn't mean these wouldn't affect a rational 
person." 


[Dr. proceeds to place several of the 
photos taken by Agent Watkins during his 
investigation of Hy-Brasil on the desk in front 
of them. This is followed by a full minute of 
silence, as Agent Watkins picks up and looks 
at each of the photos.] 


Agent Watkins: "All due respect Doc, you 
don't know what it's like out there. You 
wouldn't get it. | need to stay in the field." 


Dr. : "Why exactly is that, Elliot?" 
Agent Watkins: "To keep my mind busy." 
Dr. : "Busy from what, exactly?" 
Agent Watkins: "Busy from shit like this!" 


[Agent Watkins proceeds to stand up from his 
chair in anger and pace around the room.] 


Agent Watkins: "I... I'm sorry, Doc. It's not 
you, it's just... " 
Dr. : "You don't have to explain yourself to 


me, Elliot. Sudden bursts of agitation is a 
common symptom of Post-Traumatic Stress 
Disorder." 


[A 12-second pause commences. ] 


Agent Watkins: "It's just hard to deal with. | 
had to see so much... do you know what | had 
to go through to find that El? The Informant? 
No government left to speak of, no emergency 
plan in place to keep track of people in case of 
a disaster, so | had to look for him myself. | 


had to check through refugee camps, triage 
centers, field hospitals, morgues, and every 
other crevice of the sick, wounded, and dead 
just to find one man. | even met this young girl 
along the way who was... well, she was 
special, and she helped me look for the guy. 
We went through building-after-building, 
checking row-after-row of emergency cots and 
beds, having to see people covered in burns or 
missing limbs and hear them cry out for help 
from anyone who would listen. We kept 
searching for days on end, | couldn't even 
sleep because all | could hear were their cries. 
Finally, she helped me find him. But it didn't 
even matter, | just took his statement and he 
fucking died a couple days later." 


Dr. : "That certainly sounds traumatic. If it 
helps, | may be able to prescribe you- " 


Agent Watkins: "Have you ever seen a 5- 
year-old boy with pointed ears and blue eyes 
covered in third-degree burns?" 


[A 6-second pause commences. | 


Agent Watkins: "I can still remember him, it's 
like | can see it perfectly in my mind. The kid 
was Calm - not crying, just lying there on the 
cot... probably in shock. The nurses had to 
keep stopping him from moving because if he 
tried to sit up, the flaked skin on his back and 
shoulders would shed and peel off his little 
body. | could see the boy's muscle, Doc. | 
could see the raw, red meat of his muscles, 
some of it even cooked into shades of brown 
or black by the fire. The whole time he just 
kept staring at the ceiling like... like he didn't 
know what had happened." [Agent Watkins 
pauses.] "How do | forget that?" 


out of place. Money used to purchase these products will 
vanish the moment they are placed within a register. 
Credit or debit cards used for the purchase will have the 
appropriate amount of money deducted but without any 
evidence of where the money was transferred. 


The first Omega-Mammon event involved the sudden 
influx of anomalous objects at retailers within 40 km of 
SCP-748. Some anomalies appear intended while others 
appear to be a byproduct of the molecular and existential 
instability associated with most of SCP-748's creations. 
Purchased items resulted in 56 causalities (including 33 
fatalities) and requiring an extensive (and ongoing) 
coverup operation. 


Mammon events have since been reported globally. 


Site-68 was discovered destroyed and heavily salvaged. 
Surviving personnel were hostile to recovery operatives, 
resulting in the deaths of 9 recovery agents and all 12 
Site-68 personnel; approximately 50 other Site-68 
personnel vanished before they could be neutralized. 


Autopsies revealed significant modifications to Site-68 
staff, including chemical treatment, lobotomy, and 
mechanical augmentation. Site-68 personnel have since 
been classified as SCP-748-5. It is suspected they were 
converted at least 2-6 years before discovery, during 
which Site-68 requested and received advanced 
equipment that has yet to be recovered. It is presently 
theorized that this equipment was used to repair 
SCP-748. 


SCP-748 is currently in a metamorphic state. These 
shifts lack any recognizable pattern and have resulted in 
the fatalities of 32 recovery operatives — primarily from 
being transfigured and incorporated into SCP-748 or 
through evisceration by the rapid manifestation of pipes 
and wires. Surveillance has been rendered impossible 
with CCTV equipment having been disabled and remote 
drones quickly destroyed by shift events. 


[A 32-second pause commences. ] 


Dr. : "I think that will be enough for today, 
Elliot.” 


<End log, 1340 Hours> 


Closing Statement: Agent Watkins has since taken a 
temporary paid-leave-of-absence (approved by the 
Assistant Director of the Unusual Incidents Unit) for 
further psychological evaluation and therapy following his 
deployment to Hy-Brasil. All further therapy transcripts 
are locked per doctor-patient confidentiality policy. 


C: Six Witness Statements: During the course of Agent Watkins' 
investigation, he took multiple statements from American citizens (all 
anomalous individuals, notably) who had resided in Hy-Brasil and 
witnessed the attack. The witnesses’ stories all corroborated each 
other's statements enough to conclusively determine them to be 
telling the truth, and one anomalous individual, in particular, has 
requested to be inducted into the US government's Witness 
Protection Program in exchange for her statement. This request 
should be noted as pending evaluation by the US Marshals Service, 
with Agent Watkins listing the anomalous individual as a "critical 
witness to a classified UIU investigation." 


UIU Agent Elliot Watkins Debrief Excerpt - 
Top Secret Clearance Required 


Foreword: Excerpt from the Debrief of UIU Agent Elliot 
Watkins on 08/15/1988. 


<Begin Log, 22 Minutes Into Debrief> 


Assistant Director :"l understand your 
annoyance, but we're almost done here. So, 
you listed a Can Man as a ‘critical witness’ to 
your investigation. Can you explain this in 
greater detail?" 


Agent Watkins: "Sir, this individual has key 


information regarding the creature's assault on 
the island. If she was taken in by WITSEC, we 
could have her legally brought to the United 
States to give more in-depth statements on 
this event." 


Assistant Director : "Give statements to 
who, exactly? The courts? No one outside of 
that island is even aware of what happened 
there, and we already have your statements. 
What more could she provide that we need?" 


Agent Watkins: "Sir, we can protect her." 


Assistant Director : "From what? The dead 
monstrosity that attacked the island? What do 
you think, that it's going to snitch on her from 
the grave to a monster mafia?" 


Agent Watkins: "We can protect her from the 
hellhole that the island will inevitably turn into! 
We can protect her from-" 


Assistant Director : "Watch your tone, son. 
Don't you forget that / am the one in charge 
here." 


[A brief 4-second pause commences as Agent 
Watkins collects himself] 


Agent Watkins: "Assistant Director, it is our 
job to protect American lives when we are 
able, and we have the opportunity to do so 
here. This girl is about to be trapped inside an 
apocalyptic post-disaster on that island, and 
we have the opportunity- no, you have the 
ability to do something about it. | am pleading 
that you get her into Witness Protection so that 
she can be rescued from an inevitably-dark 
fate if she were to remain on that island." 


Assistant Director : [Takes a moment to 
clear his throat.] "Agent, why exactly did you 
pick this girl for WITSEC? There were other 
American Can Men in Hy-Brasil, several of 
whom witnessed the Incident up-close, 
according to your investigative notes. What is 
she so significant for?"
