D-7569 is a 37-year old Caucasian male with a 
height of 180cm and a weight of 77kg. Subject 
has a history of gross domestic violence and 
multiple convictions of [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
Subject has been outfitted with a "Newtsuit" 
atmospheric diving suit equipped with a 100W 
HID lamp, an audio headset, and a high- 
definition recording unit with direct upload to 
Outpost-1734. The suit is connected via air 
hose to equipment being operated by Agent 
and Dr. on the deck of the SCP-1734. 


D-7569 descends through the breach into the 
flooded chamber within, and becomes partially 
submerged; the water in the room appears to 
be 71 meter deep. 


Dr. Adler: Please crouch down and examine 
the source of the tentacle. 


D-7569 complies. 


D-7569: It's coming out of a massive, like, 2 
yard-wide hole in the floor... can't see down 
into it at all. 

Dr. Adler: How far does it extend down the 
hole? 

D-7569: Shit, | dunno, another 10 yards from 
the surface of the water, at least. 

Dr. Adler: Noted. Please continue down 
through the opening. 

D-7569: ...You can't be fucking serious. 

Dr. Adler: It won't attack you unless you make 
a significant effort to harm it. Please continue 
down the hole. 

D-7569: | don't give a shit, I'm not going down 
there. 

Dr. Adler: 7569, please think back to our 
previous conversation- 

D-7569: Go ahead and cut my air, then, I'm 
not going down there- 


[DATA EXPUNGED] 


D-7569 descends approximately 10 meters 
down through the opening. 


D-7569: Fuck this shit... 

Dr. Adler: Can you see the terminus of the 
tentacle? 

D-7569: The what? 

Dr. Adler: The end of the tentacle, can you 
see it? 


D-7569: No. There's still another 10 yards 
below me and | can barely see a thing. 

Dr. Adler: Can you see anything else at all? 
D-7569: No, it's completely dark. (Pause) | 
thought this was inside a ship, why can't | see 
anything? 

Dr. Adler: It must be an extension of the 
anomaly, please continue. 

D-7569: "Please," what a-[IRRELEVANT 
DIALOGUE REDACTED] 


D-7569 continues his descent, subject is 
roughly 50 meters below the opening at this 
point. 


D-7569: This thing goes on for-fucking-ever... 
wait, what? What the fuck?! 

Dr. Adler: What is it, 7569? What do you see? 
D-7569: There's people down here, at least 
twenty of them; it's just a mass of bodies. It's a 
bunch of fucking dead people! 


Video feed confirms D-7569's claim, the 
tentacle appears to be protruding from a mass 
of human remains, approximately 20 meters 
below D-7569's current position. D-7569 
continues to descend. 


D-7569: Stop this thing. Pull me back up. 
Fucking pull me back up! 
Dr. Adler: We need a better look at this. 


D-7569 begins to struggle and yell; video feed 
becomes too frantic and distorted to 
differentiate images. 


D-7569: Get me the fuck out of here! 
Dr. Adler: 7569- 


D-7569 starts screaming, approximately 10 
meters above the mass. 


Dr. Adler: What is it? What's going on? 


Subject continues screaming; video feed is 
fixated on the mass below, which is writhing 
and undulating. Additional tentacles begin to 
emerge. 


D-7569: PULL ME THE FUCK UP! 


D-7569 continues to scream as the feed 
becomes distorted again; this continues for 
another 3 minutes. Scattered images are 
partially discernible, which indicate that 
D-7569 is entrapped by the entity's tentacles. 
The human remains appear to be animate and 
begin to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Fragments of 
D-7569's suit adrift are briefly visible before 
both audio and video feed cut out entirely. 
When the air hose is recalled, roughly 3 
meters of the cable and D-7569 are missing. 


Addendum [1734-001]: Recovered Artifact #27 


This is an excerpt from a journal in the possession of the 
ship's captain. The journal was recovered from the 
captain's quarters during the second exploration of the 
ship, and is extremely worn. Information from the 
remainder of the text confirms that the vessel was 
carrying a British privateer crew. 


Day 


We've lost half our men. | don't know how we made it out 
of there at all, but | don't even have the strength to 
question it. We hit a patch of doldrums an hour after 
escaping, and we could still see that...place behind us. | 
thought all of us were going to lose our minds while we 
drifted there. When we landed on this island, the crew 
prostrated themselves on the beach; | don't think I've 
ever been more grateful to see an uninhabited and 
uneventful spot of earth. 


We're going to recompose ourselves, check for some 
food in the trees and bushes, then leave before evening. 
The idea of staying on an island in these waters after 
nightfall is completely unthinkable. 


Day _, Entry Il 


| have never been possessed of such fury and fear in all 
my years. Jones brought something from that place with 
him. An egg. He began to spout that it would be worth a 
fortune, and we'd be fool to lose all those men with 
nothing to gain from it. | shot him dead without a word, 
and cast that foul thing into the sea. I'd sooner face all 
the armies of Bonaparte then have one of those things 
on my ship. It's starting to get dark; we need to set sail. 


Day , Entry Ill 


It hatched. Everyone is gone. I'm the only one left. | can 
hear it...talking to me, telling me what will happen. It 
knows that | threw it into the sea, and now it delights in 
tormenting me. They pull their prey into their..."home". | 
do not know what they call it, and do not want to. | can 
see the "home" through the hole it ripped in the deck. In 
there, time stands still, and they can feed for as long as 
they want. Nothing will move. The stillness of the "home" 
has leaked out...nothing moves at all. 


The water is so quiet. 


The entry ends here. All remaining pages in the journal 
are blank. 


Addendum [1734-002]: Researcher's Note 

There is another island about 100 km south-southeast of this one; 
between the two is a stretch of doldrums. That island is a little 
smaller than this one, and has the same flora. After recovering and 
analyzing the artifacts on SCP-1734, we decided to search the 
place. Five exhaustive examinations later, we hadn't found any 
evidence of anomalous activity there whatsoever. | decided to 
record the last search, just to be thorough. After reviewing the 


footage, something bothers me slightly. The sound of the ocean is 
rather prominent in the recordings, but | barely remember hearing it 
at all while | was there.

DOCUMENT-SCP-1734-E9: FINAL EXPLORATION LOG 


A modified submersible drone was developed for the purposes of 
this exploration. The drone is equipped with a 140W HID lamp and a 
high-definition video/audio recording unit with direct upload to 
Outpost-1734. The drone's external surfaces have been reinforced 
with 5cm thick steel plating. Dr. was assigned to direct the 
drone remotely. 


The drone is lowered into SCP-1734-1 by Agent and becomes 
submerged in the water flooding the first chamber. It then proceeds 
to enter the secondary breach in the floor of said chamber, 
descending parallel to the tentacle; there is approximately 70 cm 
between the drone and entity. The drone proceeds to descend 
through the second area of SCP-1734-1. The camera feed displays 
complete darkness despite the effect of the HID lamp. Only the 
tentacle is visible, which continues for at least 10 meters below the 
drone at this point. Current depth is approximately 20 meters from 
the second breach. 


At a depth of 50 meters, the mass observed during Exploration 
1734-E5 is visible, though distinct alterations are noted. 
Approximately 20 spherical white masses are visible interspersed 
among the human remains. The diameter of these objects is roughly 
10cm. As the drone nears the mass, the reaction documented 
during 1734-E5 does not occur, and the entity remains unresponsive 
to the device's approach. An attempt is then made to explore the 
surrounding area. However, it quickly becomes apparent that the 
mass is not as small as previously thought, and continues for an 
indeterminate extent in all directions along a horizontal plane. No 
fewer than 140-150 bodies are visible. 


The drone attempts to inspect the nearest sphere, coming within 
20cm of the object. Fissures are visible in the object's surface. A 
sampling attempt is made. Upon contact, all visible soheres 


immediately retreat into the mass, which begins to undulate. The 
bodies then begin to draw away from the tentacle, forming an 
opening in the mass. Four (4) additional tentacles emerge, in 
addition [DATA EXPUNGED] during the 3 minutes and 48 seconds 
prior to system failure, the events recorded by the drone's camera 
appeared to occur in "slow-motion", though the device demonstrated 
no malfunctions. A high-pitched sound lasting approximately 15 
seconds was recorded before the transmission was lost. 


Analysis of the recording has determined that the sound is a voice of 
indeterminate origin. The vocalization occurred at a significantly 
accelerated rate, and was only comprehensible after the recording 
was played at 1/5 its original speed: 


"It is interesting that you make so little use of the finite 
lifespans you are given. We would have thought that 
might instill some sense of urgency in you. Though it 
does not matter, since every lifetime is just as delectable. 
We taste everything, everything they would have done in 
their lifetime, had we not taken it from them. Every 
success, every failure...mostly failures. | 1? He would 
have returned home only to have his daughter grow ill 
and die three years later. 2 would have been burnt 
alive to stop [REDACTED]. Don't worry, that breach 
won't happen for [REDACTED}8. What about you, 4? 
Do you want to experience the failures in your future? 
We will gladly take them off your hands for you. Even we 
cannot see the future of a life not consumed, but we 
doubt it will be much different from the rest. Perhaps 
you'll come across one of our children, or our [DATA 
EXPUNGED)}, and give your time to us anyway. The 
silence of a future emptied is as vast and beautiful as the 
ocean." 


The drone was not recovered in the aftermath of the incident. Dr. 

was rotated off for a 4-week psychological evaluation, and has 
since returned to active duty. No further explorations within 
SCP-1734-1 have been permitted.

SCP-1735: Kind of Impenetrable Barrier 


Item #: SCP-1735 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1735 has been marked 
with 70 mm lines of industrial paint on its meridian, zenith, and nadir 
to indicate its position. The area surrounding the beach is 
maintained with an electrical fence, and a staff of two guards. The 
area is to be surveyed at all times. At no time is the object to be 
marked again, as current markings have been found to be 
intangible. 


Description: SCP-1735 is a static, immoveable, invisible barrier 
surrounding a plastic grocery bag on a beach ( .0000°N, .0000° 
W) in Newfoundland. The barrier is spherical, and extends 0.70 
meters in all directions around the bag. All methods undertaken to 
penetrate SCP-1735 have proven unsuccessful. Further attempts to 
remove the bag from inside of the barrier are underway. 


Excavation of SCP-1735 caused sand located within the barrier to 
fall out of the bottom, completely emptying the contents of the 
barrier save for the grocery bag located within. Attempts to replace 
the sand into SCP-1735 have been unsuccessful. The bag located 
within is currently floating as if affected by light wind currents of 
varying directions in a persistent manner. The bag appears to 
approach the edge of SCP-1735 at times, but never seems to exit. 


SCP-1735 was discovered during a forensics investigation 
undertaken by local police after a dirtbike fatality in 2004. Citizens 
involved with the investigation were issued Class-A amnestics. 
Further investigation has revealed multiple cases of fatalities in the 
area presumed to have been caused by collisions with SCP-1735, 
dating back to 03/12/1823. Several accounts of capsized fishing 
vessels have also been reported dating back to as far as 1738. No 
reports indicating an anomaly have been found until the incident in 


2004. 


It is not known whether the grocery bag has always been present 
within SCP-1735. 


Addendum: The perimeter of the SCP-1735 containment area was 
breached by an additional grocery bag on 01/27/2010. This new 
grocery bag entered SCP-1735 aided by wind current, without any 
additional effort. The bag is currently located within the barrier along 
with the current grocery bag. Attempts to replicate the conditions by 
which the grocery bag entered SCP-1735 have been unsuccessful. 
Investigation into the origin of this grocery bag are underway.

SCP-1736: Voice of the Light 


Item #: SCP-1736 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1736-1 is to be sedated 
and kept in a radiation-shielded containment cell. SCP-1736-1 must 
be kept restrained at all times, and nutrition and hydration shall be 
administered intravenously. No lights shall be permitted in 
SCP-1736-1’s containment chamber, and the chamber’s shielding 
shall be reviewed periodically to insure the minimum penetration of 
other EM radiation outside the visible spectrum. Vital signs of 
SCP-1736-1 shall be monitored continually, and any life-threatening 
change in SCP-1736-1’s vital signs shall initiate a site-wide 
Code-1736-Orange Alert until such time as SCP-1736-1 is stabilized 
or expires. The expiration of SCP-1736-1 shall initiate a Foundation- 
wide Code-1736-Scarlet Alert until such time as SCP-1736-1 is 
again contained. Currently only one instance of SCP-1736-1 is 
known to exist at any given time. Discovery of any other 
SCP-1736-1 outside of containment will institute a Foundation-wide 
Code-1736-Black Alert, and all resources practicable shall be 
diverted to the immediate capture and containment of all Known 
instances of SCP-1736-1. 


Instances of SCP-1736-2 are to be kept in standard secure 
humanoid containment cells provided with continual monitoring of 
ionizing radiation levels. At no time should instances of SCP-1736-2 
be brought within 200m of SCP-1736-1. SCP-1736-2s that are 
identified and not contained shall be terminated without exception. 
All SCP-1736-2 in containment shall be sedated and restrained 
during any Code 1736 Alerts, for the duration of the alert. Any 
SCP-1736-2 that demonstrates a marked increase in the emission of 
ionizing radiation shall be redesignated SCP-1736-1 and moved 
immediately to the appropriate containment facility as specified 
above. 


Description: SCP-1736-1 and SCP-1736-2 designate two classes 
of human beings who share related and/or complementary 
anomalous beliefs, behaviors and properties.
