Researcher Boyd closed the hatch behind him, and turned to face 
the containment vault's occupant. Boyd thought he looked like an 
old fashioned tramp, complete with bindle and permanent five 
o'clock shadow. But yesterday he'd looked like a wino, and the day 
before a washed-up boxer. This look wasn't new. 


Boyd sat down across from the entity, and pulled an empty manila 
envelope out of his jacket. "They told me that you wanted to talk." 


SCP-5200 pulled up itself up to the table, and grinned a toothy 
smile. "Ahyup. You've all been gettin’ anxious about the dreamer, 
right?" 


"Perhaps." Boyd turned the envelope over in his hands. "What do 
you know about it?" 


SCP-5200 let out a long sigh, and leaned back in his chair. "Boy, 
you eggheads sure get to the point quick. If I'm going to tell you that, 
I'll need to let you know how the world got started out." 


Boyd frowned. SCP-5200 was known for spinning stories to distract 
from having to answer questions. Usually, it was best to play along 
until it could be coerced into giving a definite answer. 


"Fine. But be quick about it, we don't have all week." 
SCP-5200 chuckled. "You don't know how right you are, chuck." 


He pulled a crumbled cigarette from his jacket, and placed it in his 
mouth. "Okay, okay... so the first thing that happened, was we had 
the two forces of the universe. Greeks had it on point, y'know? It 
was the music, and the dreams." 


Boyd nodded, drumming his fingers on his thigh beneath the table. 


"So's they banged, y'know, and they made the world. But, they didn't 
fill in all the space, because you can't fill in nothing forever. There's 
a little bit left over from the days gone by." 


Boyd nodded, and pulled a notebook from his jacket pocket, 
pretending to take note of what SCP-5200 was saying. 


"So that's why this third rock from fun has all the craziness pulled to 
it like that shit's on rails. It's a storage depot for the unknowable. 
Would've worked like a breeze if you guys hadn't busted up the 
lock." 


"It was more like a jar." 


"Whatever, chuck. That's just how you made the smoker's stupid 

dream witchery true. When those two kid's get together, nothing's 
gonna be able to stop them. Not even flipping things around one 

more time." 


"| don't understand a word you're saying." Boyd put the notebook 
away, and stood up. "If you don't have anything else to add to your 
story, | think we're done." 


SCP-5200 held out a hand. "Wait, sit down a second. There is 
something | want to give you." 


Boyd stopped at the hatch. "What?" 


SCP-5200 reached into its own jacket, and pulled out the manila 
envelope. "Here's what a few people have said." 


The envelope is tossed, picked up, examined, and stuffed into a 
pocket. 


Boyd exited the hatch, locking it behind him. Briskly, he set off 
towards the Records and Information wing, for debriefing and 
transcription of the interview.

Prometheus Labs 


GRANT REQUEST FOR LOCATION OF 
HIGH-VALUE ENTITY IN SPACE 


PROBLEM 

The Prometheus Labs physics lab has proven 
the existence of an object which could be used 
to dispose of any type of matter harmlessly, at 
little to no cost past the initial investment to 
find the object. 


SOLUTION 

In order to locate it, the Prometheus labs team 
would need additional funding to dedicate 
most of their mathematicians to this purpose. 


BUSINESS CASE 

Once located, Prometheus Labs will save 
massively on the disposable of high-risk 
materials that would otherwise need special 
handling procedures in order to nullify or put 
out of sight and mind. 


USE OF FUNDING 

Currently, the only need for funding is the 
researcher salaries to give them the time to 
find a more precise location of this object they 
have only just proven to exist. Further costs 
can be estimated once the object is located. 


KNOWN ISSUES 
It may not be possible to reach and return the 
object within the lifetime any current 


employees of the Prometheus Labs 
corporation. 


The Chaos Insurgency 


DeCIRO Catalogue Number: SC-55/2024 
Document Type: Step Compilation 

Dates Received: 09-18-1955 through 09-18-2024 
Operation Status: Open 


Foreword: This object is to never come into the hands of 
the Insurgency. All steps to secure Site-12, the 
Foundation location of the object, are critical to maintain. 
These security procedures are to be kept secret from the 
SCP Foundation. 


Hereafter we of Delta Command document the Steps of 
the Plan as transcribed by the Engineer of the Chaos 
Insurgency. 


1. STEP [55/6] 


Security parameters, such as entrenching in the 
surrounding countryside, have been enacted. Anomalous 
countermeasures have been placed in the uninhabited 
areas surrounding Site-12, which, due to its remote 
location, is not accessed or widely known by persons 
outside the Foundation and Insurgency. Further 
measures to be taken as the situation around Site-12 
changes. 


2. STEP [24/88] 


The Foundation appears to be losing control of some of 
their frontier sites, due to the remoteness of their location 
and the containment difficulties suffered by that 
organization over the years. Efforts must be taken to 


preserve the security of Site-12, including by capturing 
the Site, intact, and handing it over to another group 
which has more stability, such as the Global Occult 
Coalition.

MEMORANDUM TO SITE DIRECTOR 
STONE 


We currently believe that the research object 
has been written about in the scripture for 
various religious groups dealing with 
paranormal activity. 


They refer to it unanimously in terminology that 
describe it as "empty" and at other times like a 
portal to their underworlds, or similar 
theological concepts. Descriptions generally 
refer to it as all black, and hostile. 


The similarities to the research objects are 
obvious. As such, we should take precaution 
against any word of this entity being held, as it 
may incur an attack by these organizations. 


Therefore, we recommend that the current in- 
construction Site-12 be selected as the 
location for the entity, due to its remote 
location and high security.

Title: Much Ado About Nothing 

Material Requirements: The piece itself is singular, 
having been created by the artist and using a method 
which has not been disclosed, for artistic reasons. It is 
unique, and the artist does not recommend attempting to 
replicate it. 

Abstract: A black star composed of a non-reflective, 
anomalous material. When touched, pulls the user into 
an undisclosed location in deep space. The person is not 
recoverable, so viewers are recommended to bring 
secondary entities if they wish to view the contact- 
making portion of the piece. Should be displayed behind 
glass, on a white pedestal with a small porthole to allow 
for direct contact with the object. 

Intent: The piece was created as a commentary on how 
really and totally alone we are in this universe. You can 
find yourself in any location out there in the cosmos, and 
you're not going to catch a ride. You'll be by yourself, 
until you die. That's what awaits us up there. 

Note: / can't really display this thing anymore. It's cool, 
but nobody really seems to want to look at it. Gonna 
store it till we can find a use for it.

"How did you get these documents?" 


SCP-5200 leaned back, shaking his shackles. "You know, this isn't 
what | hoped you would think of them." 


Boyd didn't respond, choosing instead to tap his pencil against the 


clipboard and raise a single eyebrow. None of the usual dodging of 
inquiry cat-and-mouse would be tolerated today. 


"Man... I'm just trying to help you guys. You know that you're coming 
up on the number. You've got the child, but you don't understand it." 


"What's there to understand?" 


"It wants.... to turn the clock back. To suck up everything with the 
taint of the original flaw, the big glitch, that acts as your job security." 
SCP-5200 attempted to wipe his nose on his sleeve, but the chains 
didn't allow enough mobility. His face twisted as he suppressed a 
sneeze. 


Boyd narrowed his eyes, and made a note. "How do you know? 
Why are you helping us? You could easily be trying to undermine 
us." 


"| know because that's the whole reason | exist. | was made 
specifically for this moment, right here. For you to find me, and for 
me to help you out when the time came." 


"Who sent you?" 


"Every-frikin'-body that doesn't want to die when this thing starts 
knuckling down, dummy. There's a lot of vested interest in existing 
for a lot of people." SCP-5200 leaned forwards from backwards, and 
began to whisper. "And, off the record, you guys need the help." 


"What do they know about the object?" 


SCP-5200 groaned, and attempted to rub its brow. "Have you not 
been listening at all? Look. It's gonna change into something much, 
much closer to how it originally was. That's the deal. That's what you 
need to prepare for. When that starts, you'll need to play all your 
cards right to keep it from going back to how it likes things. Non- 
existent." 


Boyd's brow creased slightly, as he took more notes. "So, if you're 
here to help, do you know what to do if it's starting?" 


"Your guess is as good as mine, chuck. From my end, this is all she, 


he, and they wrote. Hope y'all don't die."

subject will start the cycle anew, although the effects of SCP-829 will 
already be quite strong, making the next relationship much easier to 
initiate. 


Once SCP-829 has received sufficient blood from enough different 
targets, the subject will introduce SCP-829 to her current sexual 
partner and attempt to apply SCP-829 to the target’s fingernails. 
Willing targets become affected by SCP-829 just as the original 
subject; unwilling targets [DATA EXPUNGED]. Both subjects will 
together continue the flirtation-to-evisceration cycle, seducing some 
targets individually and others together. As progressively more blood 
is given to SCP-829, the subjects will periodically recruit more 
targets as new subjects for SCP-829. However, if SCP-829 is not 
fed enough blood, then one subject (usually the newest recruit) will 
become a standard target, whom the remaining subject(s) will then 
restrain and disembowel. 


For more information, see Case Study 829-CS01. 
Addendum 1, / /19 : Dr. was brought in to assist 


researching Subject 829-14, a 28-year-old Asian-American female. 
During their initial interview, the subject brushed her fingernails 


across Dr. 's skin, eliciting an expected response. 
Approximately three hours later, both were apprehended when Dr. 
was helping the subject escape Sector-19. Dr. described 


a strong compulsion to do what the subject asked of him when 
touched by her fingernails. This compulsion faded after around 48 
hours. The subject was terminated as normal. 


Addendum 2, / /19 : Due to recent incidents, experimentation of 
SCP-829 on animals requires Level 4 authorization. Experimentation 
on any member of the following taxonomic orders requires O05 
authorization: Carnivora, Chiroptera, Crocodilia, Falconiformes, 
Piciformes, Primates (excepting humans), Proboscidea, 
Strigiformes, and Struthioniformes.

Document # -002: Excerpt from the "von Reiter Collection" 


Interviewee: Obersturmfuhrer Waldemar Strasser, formerly of 2.SS 
Panzer-Division Das Reich 


Interviewer: Captain Albert [REDACTED], Infantry Division, 
British Army 


Foreword: Interview occurred 09/02/1945 and was conducted by 
non-Foundation personnel. Interview is one in a series conducted by 
Allied governments of personnel attached to the "von Reiter Group" 
in order to ascertain its purpose and gather additional information on 
SCP- -01-b. Document seized by Foundation personnel 
06/30/1947, edited for security and appended to the Von Reiter 
Collection. 


<Begin Log> 


Interviewer [REDACTED]: Please state your name, 
rank and service history for the record. 


Obersturmfuhrer Strasser: Obersturmfthrer Waldemar 
Strasser. | served in France, Yugoslavia and Russia with 
2.SS Panzer-Division Das Reich as a panzergrenadier. | 
was awarded the Ritterkreuz in recognition of my service 
near Kharkov in January, 194 before being transferred 
to SS Sonderforschungsgruppe-von Reiter for garrison 
duty shortly afterward. | served there until the end of the 
war. 


I: For the record, Obersturmfuhrer is an SS rank roughly 
equivalent to the British rank of army Lieutenant. Is SS 
Sonderforschungsgruppe-von Reiter the name of the 
concentration camp you were transferred to? 


S: | recognize your accent, | think. You are from London, 
ja? Perhaps north London? 


I: Why, yes. Your ear for English is remarkable, Herr 
Strasser. 


S: | spent about a year in London, studying abroad for 
university. Wonderful place. | suppose | should apologize 
on behalf of the Luftwaffe. The damage to London is a 
tragedy. 


I: I've seen Berlin and Dresden. Perhaps we deserved at 
least a little of it. [Captain [REDACTED] pauses for 
several moments.] No hard feelings, old boy. But please, 
answer my question. Was SS Sonderforschungsgruppe- 
von Reiter the name of the concentration camp you were 
transferred to in the spring of 194 ?
