While still asleep, hosts realize and understand that they are 
dreaming, but also an understanding that they are entirely safe. 
Each host recognizes that the entity or scenario, such as the 
featureless figure or the void, should cause fear or anxiety, but 
instead instills a sense of safety and relaxation. Upon waking, hosts 
recognize that SCP-2840, in whatever form it took during the dream, 
was aware of their existence and that it removed the perceived 
threat from their nightmare. 


SCP-2840 was discovered in a psychiatric hospital in [REDACTED]. 
Over a 4 month period, 29 patients reported similar dreams, now 
understood to be SCP-2840’s primary symptoms. An embedded 
agent following an instance of SCP- noticed the trend among 
unrelated patients and initiated an investigation into the 
phenomenon. The then-current host of SCP-2840 was determined 
and extracted for containment, and remains part of the containment 
procedures as D-2840-B.

SCP-2841: Revenge of the Snakes 


Item #: SCP-2841 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Fences and a security door are 
placed at SCP-2841’s entrance. The area is to be monitored for 
civilians, who are to be escorted out and given Amnestics if 
applicable. SCP-2841-4 can only be entered with the signed 
permission of Site Director Xue Qing. 


Description: SCP-2841 is an underground tomb dating back to 
around 1000 BCE!, locatedin , Henan Province, China.2 
SCP-2841 is composed of a tunnel and a chamber, occupying an 
estimated 300m2. While well-preserved, SCP-2841 is mostly empty, 
containing only SCP-2841-1, -2 and -3 at the center, and lacks any 
artifact commonly seen in such burials. 


SCP-2841-1 is a series of 28 hollow bronze sculptures resembling 
trees surrounding SCP-2841-2. Seven of these seem to have been 
deliberately damaged to various degrees, but none suffer corrosion. 
In an undamaged state, an instance is estimated to be 1m in height, 
with an opening at the tip of each branch. A piece of cooked meat? 
is hung from each tip, and is easily removable by hand. When 
removed, the opening will quickly produce a liquid4, which will 
subsequently solidify and turn into another piece of meat through 
unknown mechanisms in five minutes. 


SCP-2841-2 is a 6m x 6m x 6m pool with bronze borders. It is filled 
with a potable liquid similar to rice wine®, with a 15% alcohol 
content. When taken from SCP-2841-2, the liquid will automatically 
refill at a rate of roughly 1 liter per minute. The borders of 
SCP-2841-2 do not seem to suffer corrosion, despite being in 
constant contact within the liquid. However, the parts above the 
water level retain significant burn marks, indicating that the contents 
of SCP-2841-2 might have been set aflame at some point in the 


SCP-335: One Hundred and Fifty 3.5" Floppy Disks 


SCP-335-086 


Item #: SCP-335 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-335 is to be kept ina 
secure location to prevent tampering. 


Description: SCP-335 is a set of one hundred and fifty 3.5" floppy 
disks discovered in a cardboard box found in the attic of former 
Agent _ shortly after her termination. Each disk is individually 
numbered in hand-written permanent marker. Disks are to be 
referred to by their number; SCP-335-001, SCP-335-002, etc. Each 
disk has also been labeled with a human name in the same writing 
as the numbering. 118 are male names and 30 are female. There is 
some speculation as to whether SCP-335-011 "Jackie" is meant to 
be male or female. The names have no identified pattern. 


Initial examinations suggested that all 150 disks were blank, as their 
capacity all read as 0 megabytes. Dr. determined that the 
disks were ordinary and had them archived with the rest of former 
Agent's possessions. It was not until Agent suggested the 
unlikelinood of Agent keeping a box of floppy disks in her attic 
among the other contraband, that Dr. agreed to have the 
disks examined again. It was determined that Dr. 's original 
floppy disk drive had been defective, and a different computer was 
brought in. 


All 150 disks appear to have an infinite amount of storage space 
available. It is unknown whether the disk space is truly unlimited or 
simply too large to measure; regardless, the space is effectively 
infinite. 


When SCP-335-001 was inserted into Dr. 's computer, the 
contents of a large pornographic website were the first data found 


past. 


SCP-2841-3A (left) and SCP-2841-3B (right) are a pair of metallic 
caskets located at the bottom center of SCP-2841-2. 
SCP-2841-3A’s surface bears decorative engravings, detailing the 
sun with a three-legged bird inside. When objects enter SCP-2841-3 
instances’ area of effect (a sphere of roughly 1m in radius 
surrounding the instances), they will resurface from a similar pool 
located in an extradimensional location, hereafter referred to as 
SCP-2841-4. Light interacts normally with SCP-2841-3 instances, 
and will not cross through into SCP-2841-4. SCP-2841-3 instances 
will be still visible at the bottom from within SCP-2841-4, and subject 
can return to SCP-2841 without difficulty through the same method. 


SCP-2841-3 instances cannot be properly examined due to the 
aforementioned anomalous effect, but their material resembles that 
of SCP-2841-2’s borders in apperance, and similarly suffers no 
corrosion. Using X-ray, it is determined that SCP-2841-3A contains 
the corpse of a male human, with arms and legs chained to the 
inside of the casket; SCP-2841-3B contains the carcass of an Arctic 
fox (Vulpes lagopus), with its head positioned to face SCP-2841-3A. 


SCP-2841-4 is an extradimensional location with no visible borders. 
The ground inside SCP-2841-4 is unusually rich in calcium and 
carbon, covered in sands mainly composed of copper, tin, and iron. 
A sky with stars can be observed, as SCP-2841-4 always appears to 
be at night when initially entered. No GPS signals or radio and video 
transmissions can be received within SCP-2841-4. SCP-2841-4 
contains artificial objects, and several oddities and anomalies are 
observed. See Exploration Report-2841 for further information. 


+ Exploration Report-2841 


Foreword: This exploration of SCP-2841-4 
was carried out shortly after its discovery. 
Agent Luo Xing, Agent and Field 
Specialist Kelly Zhang were dispatched with 
standard gear and basic diving equipment. 
The operation was overseen by Site Director 
Xue Qing as part of the Project Hetu Luoshu. 
The following is translated from Chinese. 


Interviewer: Dr. Xue Qing 
Interviewee: Agent Luo Xing, operation leader 


<Begin Log> 
Dr. Xue: Hello, Agent Luo. 
Agent Luo: Hi Doctor. 


Dr. Xue: Please take a seat. | take it that you 
know why you're here? 


Agent Luo: Yes, the recording kind of broke 
half-way and I’m expected to give a briefing on 
the operation. 


Dr. Xue: And for the purpose of the report, 
please start from the beginning. 


Agent Luo: Before that, may |ask how __ is 
doing? 


Dr. Xue: He has fully recovered. Agent will 
be transferred out of the Project soon enough, 
once the psychological evaluations are 
complete. You may begin now. 


Agent Luo: Thank you, Dr. Xue. So on 20 / / 
, | led Agent and Field Specialist Kelly 
Zhang into SCP-2841-4. was in charge of 
the video equipment and Kelly did the 
sampling and surveying of the surroundings. 


We went through the pool and entered the 
extradimensional location without problem. We 
then moved onto the land and changed to 
normal gear. It was quite dark so we kept the 
headlights on, and __ turned on night vision. 


We were in an open field. There was clearly a 
sky above us, with stars visible. They hardly lit 
anything though. The ground just extended to 


all directions, and then dissolved into 
blackness. There was no sound, and now that 
| recall, no wind either. 


The pool was pretty much the same as the one 
back here, same liquid as it comes through the 
portal. But there were these metal rods around 
the pool, where those bronze trees should be. 

| have no idea what kind of metal, and Kelly 
wasn't able to scrape down any bits. 


She was able to take samples of the ground 
though, all of which was covered in some 
weird sand that seemed metallic. We stayed at 
the site fora bit. | recorded the scene and 
helped Kelly take a few pictures. 


[pauses] 


Our job was just to map out the basics of the 
location. But we couldn’t communicate with the 
base there, and it was up to me to decide what 
to do. We were going to return, but found 
something with his camera. It was barely 
visible, off in the distance. We figured it was 
some sort of tower, just extending upwards 
with its top obscured by the darkness. 


Dr. Xue: So you decided to explore the 
premises? 


Agent Luo: We've been there for 10 minutes 
tops, and already finished what we could do 
around the pool. We had our basic gear and 
weapons, so | figured it would be alright. 
Besides, the place seemed pretty dead at the 
time. 


Dr. Xue: Continue. 


Agent Luo: We left a strong light at the pool, 


and made marks as we went. With sand on the 
ground and no wind around, there was a clear 
track. We knew we wouldn't be getting lost. 

led us towards the tower with the camera, and 
we hiked for 15 to 20 minutes before reaching 
it. 


It was indeed a tower, and it was massive. 
Four sides, at least 100 meters each. We 
didn’t really realize that until we were up close. 
We still couldn't see how high the thing was. 
Again, there was nothing else around, no 
sounds or movements. 


Under the headlights, we found that the tower 
was partly golden and partly white, alternating 
between the two colors to form some sort of 
pattern. But we couldn't quite see what it was. 
It must be gorgeous under the sunlight, as it 
shined even with the dim light we had. And 
again, like with the rods, Kelly couldn’t take 
any samples. 


We didn’t find any entrance, but there was a 
set of stairs facing where we came from. It 
went around the tower, slowly winding 
upwards. It was clearly human-sized, nicely 
built even. There were railings, and we didn’t 
feel insecure stepping on them. 


Naturally, we hiked upwards. This time it took 
even longer than the time spent getting to the 
tower. Kelly said it was a little over an hour 
and a half, but it felt longer. The stairs just 
continued on and on, and the height didn’t help 
us get a better look at the landscape. It was 
just too dark. 


managed to get a few more good shots of 
the sky and a lot of close shots of the tower, 
but nothing else. The patterns on the tower 


kept changing, but they were just lines and 
shapes. Kelly suggested it must have been 
designed to be viewed from a distance. We 
tried talking but it felt too loud. Even as we 
ascended there was no wind. I’m not entirely 
sure how high we eventually got to. 


But then, just as Kelly started to complain 
about it, we were suddenly there. 


Dr. Xue: There? 


Agent Luo: The stairs just ended, and there 
was suddenly this open platform. It was much 
smaller than its base, about 10 meters long 
and wide. We almost stumbled into each other. 
And there was light sources, candles, must 
have been hundreds of them. 


It was like some sort of Chinese pavilion, or a 
small palace, but you get rid of all the walls 
and leave the pillars. It was clearly made of 
wood, like traditional buildings usually are, 
brightly colored, and with decorations here and 
there. The candles lit the whole scene up 
pretty well. 


But we weren’t able to step forward. In the 
front of the pavilion, there was a golden 
throne. And there were two beings there. 


Dr. Xue: You mean that they were not human? 


Agent Luo: |’m not really sure. One of them 
seemed human enough, the one on the golden 
throne. A male, wearing traditional clothes with 
the pattern of a giant bird. He had this sun- 
shaped headwear on his head. As for the other 
being, it was some sort of weird dog? 


Dr. Xue: Please elaborate on that. 


Agent Luo: It was like a wolf, or a fox maybe? 
But it had no fur, just these scales on its body. 
It was quite unsettling. Not fish scales though, 
more like a reptile. Furthermore, it stood 
almost as tall as a human, on its hind legs. 
One of the front paws was rested on the 
male’s shoulder. 


We all stayed where we were, at the top of the 
stairs. To be honest, we weren't really 
expecting this, and it took a few moments to 
adjust to the new light sources. And then the 
creature just turned to look at us, its paw still 
on the man’s shoulder. 


There were a few seconds where it just stared. 
And suddenly the thing emitted an ear-piercing 
shriek and we all stepped back. At the same 
time, the man on the throne just shot up. 
That’s when we noticed that there was a piece 
of white silk hanging from one of the beams. 
The man then climbed onto the throne, and 
placed the piece of silk around his neck. He 
said something, but none of us could 
understand. It seemed like some sort of weird 
dialect. 


Dr. Xue: Hold on. 


[Dr. Xue plays an audio file; a male can be 
heard speaking agitatedly.] 


It was, in fact, Archaic Chinese, used from 
Shang Dynasty to Han Dynasty. Roughly 
translates to [reading from document] “The 
stars, | could reach them. They’re so close 
now. But the snakes. The snakes, they have 
come for me. Their vengeance burns like 
flames. Please forgive me, please forgive us. 
Please. | did nothing, it was my ancestors.” 


Agent Luo: Oh. That actually makes sense. 
[pauses] 


But as he said that, the creature growled and 
pushed the throne down. The man was 
hanged like that, but still twitching a bit. | think 
he said something else but we couldn't catch 
it, as the creature jumped around and knocked 
down all the candles, and the whole pavilion 
just caught on fire. 


| know | said that there were hundreds of 
candles, but it was merely seconds between 
when the candles were knocked down and 
when the whole thing started burning. It was 
definitely abnormal. And the creature, it just 
yelped and yelped and the sound somehow 
gradually turned into a kind of laughter. It 
made no attempt to attack us, but | still 
ordered retreat. 


Dr. Xue: And that’s when the video recording 
failed. 


Agent Luo: Yes, Agent didn’t respond to 
my order. The recording was still on, but he 
had put the camera down. Not down on the 
floor, it was attached to his gear, but he just 
stared at the burning pavilion. | patted him on 
the shoulder but he turned and grabbed my 
arm, pointing towards the pavilion — at this 
point smoke and fire had covered all of it — and 
muttered a series of nonsense. 


Dr. Xue: | believe this is what he said? 
[Dr. Xue plays an audio file] 


Agent: It was him! It was him, the 
tyrant! We need to get there, we 


need to get to him and make him 
pay. He must burn. 


Agent Luo: What are you doing? 
We’re evacuating! 


Agent :Howcan you not see? It 
was him! Him, bathing in wine and 
gulping the meat, while people toiled 
and built him this grand palace. His 
ancestors stole the throne in the first 
place, and he showed that he was 
indeed of an evil breed. How 
disgusting, the most terrible king! 


Agent Luo: What? 


Field Specialist Zhang: We need to 
go! 


Agent  : The snakes! They have 
chewed on the bones of his enemies 
and friends, and now they come for 
him. This is the revenge! 


[recording ends] 


Agent Luo: Yes. I'm pretty sure meant the 
man on the throne, but not sure what to make 
of it. He said those words almost accusingly 
and both me and Kelly figured he was 
somehow influenced by the anomaly, and it 
was best to leave as quickly as possible.
