Day 9, late afternoon: lt was a requirement for 
me to abruptly end my last entry. | heard 
movement circling me, and upon closer 
investigation, | saw the beast. The beast itself 
was circling me! As fast as | could, | 
approached the thing and skinned a sample of 
tissue off of its torso before it could skitter off 
with its horrible spastic tentacles. The tissue 
analyzer came up as a zero, that is, the tissue 
analyzer recorded no difference between this 
creature's tissue and a human's tissue. | will 
have to run some confidence tests on this, 
because | refuse to believe it until all evidence 
points to this thing being somehow related to 
humans. 


Joseph 


Day 9, evening: I've set up a tent. | want to get 
my mind off of this situation for a small while. 
I've set up a lantern and strewn out a towel on 
which | will eat dinner and read a book. Then | 
will get back to the walk, and | will likely skip 
sleep tonight. 


Joseph 


Day 9, midnight: The book seemed to quiet the 
voice. It was a peaceful hour, but | knew that | 
would have to leave as soon as | could. The 
sooner | get back to base, the sooner they can 
analyze all of this data from the tissue analyzer 
and make a sound conclusion about the 
tissue. My personal belief is that my analyzer 
is broken, but I've stored the tissue in my pack, 
so the guys at the base should have no issue 


SCP-320: Higgs Field Acceleration Manipulator 


Item #: SCP-320 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: When not being researched, 
SCP-320 is to be carefully slowly lowered into its 6m solid foam 
transport tray, which is in turn slowly lowered into a 37 metric ton 
stabilized vault. These precautions are designed to provide a buffer 
of lightweight, safe material should SCP-320 be accelerated beyond 
control and to keep SCP-320 as motionless as possible during 
containment. 


Description: SCP-320 is a small glass sphere which affects normal 
Euclidean space when accelerated along any line of motion. The 
ball of glass itself is just over 10.4 cm (4.1 in) in diameter and just 
31.2 grams (1.1 ounces). Light refraction experiments and computed 
tomography scans have proven that SCP-320 does contain a hollow 
vacuum. No physical tests have been able to explain why SCP-320 
reacts with space/time in the manner that it does. 


As SCP-320 accelerates, its mass and gravitational effect on matter 
and space around it compound exponentially in relation to its 
acceleration. The theoretical physics that predict these effects are 
more in line with those of String Theory, though the effects are not 
fully accounted for. As the ball speeds up, it is surmised that a 
possible theoretical 'Higgs Field' becomes bunched up and drags 
against it, observed as an increase in mass. This is both in line with 
and against Einstein's theory of relativity, governing matter's limit of 
speed. A second theory claims that while at rest, SCP-320 houses 
an uncollapsed singularity. When in motion, the uncollapsed gravity 
field folds in upon itself, strengthening it. 


As normal matter accelerates toward the speed of light, its own 
mass becomes the limiting factor of its own speed, slowing it down, 
making it harder and harder to accelerate from an observer's point 


running it through again.

{+}Investigative Log, Day[10-11] 


Day 10: | am almost back to base, but | see 
some guys coming over the snow-hill. | 
assume they are looking for me, so | need to 
warn them not to go any further inward. 


Joseph 


Day 10, morning: These folks are approaching 
me awfully slowly. They've taken to setting up 
a camp, which is strange, because if they are 

looking for me, which is undoubtedly the case, 
then they are taking an unnecessary break, as 
lam no more than half a mile away. 


Day 10, before noon: They made some slow 
but steady progress toward my location, and 
then they decided to turn back. | suspect that 
the spatial anomaly is affecting our distance, 
because as | stated previously, we are only 
about half a mile apart. Why they are turning 
back, | haven't a clue. 


Day 10, afternoon: A few things. The tracks in 
the snow have disappeared, as with the voice. 
| have gotten far enough away from the thing, | 
assume. And the beast has reappeared. About 
southeast, exactly where it should be. It is 
strangely comforting, but | still intend to return 
to base. 


Day 10, evening: The three guys are now 
approaching me again. They make frequent 
stops, which | suppose | don't blame them. | 
must seem to be miles away from their 
perspective. But it is certain, they are coming 


for me now. | know they can see me. 


Day 10, midnight: At this point, | have 
absolutely given up traveling on my own. 
Progress is heavily stymied by this spatial 
anomaly. | make it barely a few feet after a 
long day of travel. I'm very scared, and | hope 
these guys can make it to me before my 
supplies run out, which is now a concern. 


Day 11:1 am currently very frightened. | want 
these guys to turn back. | know what has 
happened. | don't know how it happened, but it 
did. | will write more on my suspicions once | 
recover sufficient evidence for them. But for 
now, | say this for future reference. | do not 
know how this happened. 


Day 11, early morning: | recovered a journal in 
the snow. | know my suspicion to be true at 
this point. What | discovered in the journal was 
horrible. | refuse to write any of its contents 
here. | scrawled a warning in it as quickly as | 
could. | know who will find it. 


Day 11, late morning: The travelers 
disappeared and then reappeared again. | 
tried to approach the lone wanderer in person 
to notify him to turn back, but this was to no 
avail, as he was hostile and proceeded to cut 
out a chunk of my back. | had no clue how to 
react to this. | just ran away. 


This realization is too horrible for me to state 
plainly. My suspicions have been all but 
confirmed. It all adds up. The tissue analyzer 
coming up as a zero. The transition of human 
tracks in the snow to those tentacular... things. 
Something occurred... The time and space is 
all messed up due to this beast. | will leave this 
to the consideration of the reader, whoever 


finds this log. | hope it is not me this time. 


Footnotes 

1. "Flicker" is defined as spontaneous spatial relocation. That is, 
SCP-2764 will soontaneously disappear from its current location and 
appear in some other location. For the sake of brevity, this term will 
be used to describe these spontaneous dis- and reappearances.

SCP-2765: Caveat Dei 


Item #: SCP-2765 
Object Class: Safe Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: Civilian vehicles and 
Foundation convoys are permitted to use roads affected by 
SCP-2765 to travel. SCP-2765 is neutralized as of 2003. 


The areas surrounding instances of SCP-2765-1 are to be disguised 
as archaeological dig sites. Non-Foundation archaeologists are 
allowed access to any approved artifacts discovered that are not 
anomalous or discuss anomalous properties. Newly discovered 
instances of SCP-2765 are to be acquired by the Foundation and 
examined. 


Anomalous materials or those which pertain to anomalous activity 
discovered inside are to be sent to Reliquary Site 26. 


Description: SCP-2765 is an anomalous effect that influences 
multiple passageways throughout central Eurasia, notably Route 44 
in Iran, Route A-77 in Afghanistan, and the R504 Kolyma roadway in 
Russia, and which may have had a much larger effect radius. 
SCP-2765 affects trade that involve the selected routes by 
decreasing travel time and slowing the weathering of roads. Effects 
are not consistent and have been shown to be decreasing since at 
least 1948. Subjects affected by SCP-2765 or on a road affected by 
SCP-2765 do not perceive any noticeable change in travel speed, 
fuel use or distance while on the route, but are measured to have a 
10% increase in speed added on anomalously. When compared to 
other routes with similar levels of traffic and trade, roads affected by 
SCP-2765 show visibly less damage, even in active war zones. 


Due to the large range of effect, the Foundation is unable to control 
or restrict all areas pertaining to SCP-2765. Notably, much of 
SCP-2765 lies in the territory of GRU-P and the ORIA. 


SCP-2765-1 is the collective designation for 5 villages which may 
have formerly been affected by SCP-2765 and which are believed to 
be connected to SCP-2765's anomalous effects. Individual 
instances are to be referred to as SCP-2765-1 A-E. Each instance 
contains multiple architectural styles and materials, many of which 
are not native to the area and are believed to be imported. It is 
believed that instances of SCP-2765-1 were intended as resting 
places for travelers due to the presence of large market areas, inns, 
diverse shrines, food stores, and walls possibly capable of 
withstanding long periods of siege warfare. Records recovered from 
SCP-2765-1 instances typically have multiple translations present 
and often refer to or display knowledge of SCP-2765's primary 
effect, as well as other anomalous phenomena. 


¢ SCP-2765-1A is the largest known site, and possesses much 
larger facilities, as well as extensive amounts of records. It is 
located in Western China, in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
Region. Uses Roman concrete and lonian style pillars. 

* SCP-2765-1B is located in northern Afghanistan. Prior to 

Foundation Acquisition, it had sustained heavy damage due to 

the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Construction is 

mostly based around the style of Qing China, with 
construction stone and jade decorations imported from as far 
east as mountains in Sichuan. 

SCP-2765-1C is located in northwestern Kazakhstan. Prior to 

Foundation acquisition, SCP-2765-1C was in a state of severe 

disrepair due to siege warfare during medieval crusades. 

Architectural style was primarily Egyptian, although Japanese 

sliding doors were heavily used. 

* SCP-2765-1D is located in coastal northeastern Egypt. Noted 
to have severe rat infestations which prevented initial 
containment, SCP-2765-D was heavily damaged during the 
Suez Crisis of 1956. Remains of docked boats suggest Nordic 
trade partners. 

* SCP-2765-1E is located in eastern Turkey. Architectural styles 
are more modern, dating to around 800 AD, and include 
strong influence from Arabic construction methods. Christian 
motifs are also present. 


SCP-2765 was originally discovered through investigation of 


apparent errors in Foundation transportation times’. Eventually, 
SCP-2765-1 instances were discovered and absorbed into the 
current form of this article. 


Addendum: SCP-2765 has ceased to show any noticeable effect as 
of 2003. SCP-2765 is now classified as neutralized.

In the 16th year of Emperor Wen's reign, 7th of 
the line of Han, 618 AUC, a caravan formed in 
and departed for the land of Sina. Lord Liu, 
riding upon his great 3 legged toad, General 
Tao, of the Black pearl, Lord Caishen of good 
fortune, Bi Gan, Li Fan, Kuan Yu, the 5 
siblings of the world, and Tsai Sheng Li, 12 in 
all, representing the many lands of Sina, filled 
with wealth and trade, set out along with their 
followers to explore the lands to the west of 
their nation, having heard of the noble exploits 
of Zhang Qian? and of new nations to the 
West. Our lord Tricephalus? , also known as 
Hermes the guider of the dead, Mercury god of 
messengers, met them at the crossroads of 
the two rivers, and proposed that they sit and 


trade stories and goods. And they introduced 
themselves, and exchanged tales of their 
lands for 2 years. Tricephalus, wise and 
cunning, proposed to spread prosperity 
together across the land. He envisioned a 
great road, stretching to both east and west, 
where the gold would never end and 
merchants would not fear the bandits. Seeing 
that this was good, the Gods of swore to the 
pact, and shared their gold and spices. And 
considering this meeting fortuitous, and that 
greater gains might be made, they left to find 
other pantheons. 


Aje Shaluga, the 7 lucky lords of the Eastern 
Archipelago, and the many Jambhalas, 
masters of gold gathered together with the first 
13 here, to discuss a great Prosperity, to 
benefit all nations. For 101 days and nights 
they sat and consulted, and finally they came 
upon a decision to sponsor a great and mighty 
road, sustained by their combined powers, to 
ease travel between their lands and bring 
wealth to all, whereupon these pillars were 
created to commemorate their alliance. Thus 
they numbered 42. 


And eventually others came, Lakshimi and her 
attendants, decked in the Spice of the 
southern lands from whence they came, (The 
cautious?), of the fish and maggots, forger of 
gold, and [Unreadable* ] swearing to the pact, 
and partaking of its profits. Thus the total came 
to 76, in the Great Treaty. 


Recovered Material 2765-1A-572 

Discovered Location: Storage room located below the 
primary temple complex of 2765-A. 

Description: One of several hundred 1m by .5m clay 
tablets (Labeled 2765 A-300- 1674) located in the same 


room, apparently containing records of trade 
developments and negotiations. Evidence shows that the 
room was damaged by fire.

In the 215th year of the Qin dynasty, 200th 
year of the Western Han, 694th AUC, the 
Golden Confederation met again to discuss 
their continued compliance. There have been 
37 raids on traveling caravans by Northern 
Barbarians, and many fear a direct assault on 
one of the way points. The Confederation has 
requested that those of the Central Kingdom 
lead an attack to prevent further interruptions 
of trade. To further assuage fears, the gods of 
the Indi, numbering 34, have agreed to fund 2 
new resting points together, to be constructed 
in 5 years, for a total of 8 way points. The 
confederation then discussed raising tariffs, 
which can be found in tablet 4 of the year 694 
AUC, and the supply of spices and metals, 
found in tablet 6 of the year 694 AUC. And 
thus the 76 member lords agreed to disperse 
and discuss with their respective kingdoms a 
unified measurement system. Thus ended the 
Confederation meeting of the year 694 AUC, 
215th year of the Qin dynasty, blessed by the 
gods.
