Following this, Foundation vessels undertook a large-scale 
investigation of any psionic activity surrounding SCP-3068. A large 
psionic impulse, consistent with reality bending humanoids, was 
found to originate from Earth and was being broadcast towards 
SCP-3068. 


"Desmond Sykes" has now been classified as SCP-3068-B. 
Attempts to locate SCP-3068-B are currently underway.

Item #: SCP-3069 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep 
Feeders") are partnered with the staff of Offshore Provisional & 
Research Site-3069 and Coastal North Carolinian Site-42 for the 
purposes of monitoring SCP-3069 activity. As deep-level research 
and exploratory efforts have been stalled indefinitely following the 
events of Exploration Log 2A, no excursions lower than pre-explored 
depths into SCP-3069 are to be allowed without permission from at 
least two acting O5 Councilmembers, the Site Director of Site-42, 
and the Site Director of Site-3069. 


Following the full activation of SCP-3069 and confirmation that 
SCP-3069 is undergoing an Innova-Exonera Event, the following 
additional containment procedures should be enacted in the order of 
their respective stages: 


+ show containment procedures for Stage | 


Stage | denotes the time following initial activation of 
SCP-3069, estimated to have already occurred. During 
this time, the governments of all United Nations countries 
will be informed by a joint scientific branch of both the 
SCP Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition that a 
research team with NOAA has discovered a recent 
increase in sulfur-based manufacturing waste toxins 
throughout the North Atlantic. 


World governments will be encouraged to increase 
oceanic exploration and water quality research for the 


purposes of safety and gaining additional data; however, 
SCP-3069 itself must not be directly mentioned at any 
point, and if it is found that any exploratory advances by 
non-Foundation or -GOC parties have led to 
unauthorized discovery of SCP-3069, those involved 
should be detained, interrogated, amnesticized, and 
released if the situation permits. 


+ show containment procedures for Stage II 


Stage II denotes the time ranging from the end of Stage 
I2 to the point at which SCP-3069 undergoes an Innova- 
Exonera Event. During Stage II, news sources and 
unauthorized research publications by scientific 
organizations — both private and federal — must be 
monitored for unapproved information releases regarding 
abnormal and rapid changes in marine life and chemical 
composition of North Atlantic water. If a source is found 
to have fully discovered the existence and/or suspected 
function of SCP-3069, the creators of the information are 
to be located, detained, interrogated, and amnesticized. 
In the event that a source successfully publishes 
information about SCP-3069, a unique cover story is to 
be developed for each publication in question, and the 
creator(s) of the publication dismissed as fraudulent. 


+ show containment procedures for Stage III 


Stage III denotes the time period taking place after the 
point at which SCP-3069 undergoes an Innova-Exonera 
Event. During this time, SCP-3069 will have begun to 
release all materials and specimens held within it. The 
following must then occur:

Note: The following procedures are for the US version of 
this document only. Foundation sites located in UN 
countries other than the United States are equipped with 
their own respective versions of the following 
procedures. 


1. SCP-2000 will be prepared for activation, with 
usage estimated to begin 2-5 years after the onset 
of Stage Ill. A full list of personnel slotted for use in 
SCP-2000 is restricted to O5 access only, and is 
not available in this document. 

2. Foundation emergency responders will partner 
with the CDC4 for the purposes of containing 
leakages of chemical hazards released by 
SCP-3069 or materials and entities released by 
SCP-3069. 

3. News sources will at this point be allowed to 
publish information about SCP-3069, as most 
media coverage will most likely be speculative and 
inaccurate. However, news sources and research 
organizations must still be monitored as closely as 
personnel availability and Foundation involvement 
allows, and researchers not affiliated with the 
Foundation, Global Occult Coalition, or NOAA who 
publish unique or previously undiscovered 
information about SCP-3069 should be detained 
and interrogated. 

4. An international ban on both private and 
commercial cross-Atlantic travel will be issued by 
the United Nations. The import of foreign products 
will be either carried out by air travel or halted 
completely.® 

5. With the assistance of the US National Guard and 
US Coast Guard, all eastern American coastal 
towns will be fully evacuated and abandoned. 

6. Over the next several® years, as much of the 
population as is possible will be moved further 
inland. By this point, the nature of SCP-3069 will 
have already become public due to the damaged 
state of coastal areas; information-suppression 
efforts should then be directed toward public 
education and safety training. However, directly 
informing the public of SCP-3069's origin and 
purpose will at no point be necessary, and should 
be avoided. 

7. Approximately 10 years’ after the full completion 


of an Innova-Exonera Event, as much as 60% of 
North American population will be dead or 
diseased; recovery efforts by the Foundation, 
Global Occult Coalition, and CDC should be 
directed to suppressing, quarantining, or 
terminating affected animals® and cordoning off 
high-risk areas. 

8. All Foundation sites will enter XK-Class Standard 
Preparatory Mode, and will remain in this state as 
long as is possible for each individual site. Sites 
are permitted to develop their own specific 
containment procedures for this period, and should 
attach these to copies of this document when 
necessary. At this point, no excursions past any 
site boundaries are recommended nor permitted 
by the O5 Council. After this point, no deployed 
Foundation employees are to be permitted reentry 
to their respective sites, and should be informed of 
this beforehand to avoid confusion. 

9. SCP-2000 will be fully activated, and will be in use 
for an estimated 250-500 years. 

10. Following the aforementioned activation of 
SCP-2000, Foundation personnel will no longer be 
required to monitor or protect the populace, and 
these efforts will then be left to the management of 
federal and state governments. 


Description: SCP-3069 is the designation for a massive physical 
construct extending approximately 6000 kilometers across the North 
Atlantic Ocean. At the time of this writing, SCP-3069 continually 
releases specimens and substances of unknown origin, the 
purposes of which appear to be [REMOVED ON ORDER OF O5 
COUNCIL] referred to as an Innova-Exonera Event. 


This development is recent, and was most likely triggered by a 
notable event taking place in June 2020 when TAT-14, the last 
functioning transatlantic telecommunications cable,9 suffered a 
massive failure within the vicinity of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Upon 
investigation by the Sprint Network Administration System, '° it was 
discovered that a section of a massive metallic structure had 


breached through a gap in the divergent boundary of the Mid- 
Atlantic Ridge near TAT-14 and severed it at three separate points 
over a 950-kilometer section.

in the relevant area. Click to enlarge. 


Figure A. Unknown specimen visible by equipment line. Access 


Point I's framework visible on left. Click to enlarge. 


SCP-3069's anomalous nature was then discovered when a NOAA 
exploration team investigated the original breach point (now 
designated Access Point |) of SCP-3069 and TAT-14. When their 
unmanned submarine approached the area, it was revealed that a 
number of unknown organisms had already been released into 
surrounding seawater (See Figure A), presumably directly after 
SCP-3069 collided with TAT-14. 


SCP-3069 has three known access points, all of which are also the 
original interception points of SCP-3069 and TAT-14. Due to 
SCP-3069's size, it is considered likely that SCP-3069 has an 
unknown number of additional access points which cannot be 
located. 


Access Point | is a large sealed pipe with a diameter of 25 meters, 
located at [EXACT COORDINATES REDACTED] at a depth of 
approximately 3500 meters. Access Point | allows entry though a 
series of external wiring ports on its underside. After several 
unsuccessful tests, it was discovered that a light electrical current 
(120 volts) applied to two of the three visible ports prompted 
response from a 5x5-meter square hatch on the inside wall of 
Access Point |. This hatch opened, allowing MTF Gamma-6 
personnel access!! to a section of the interior of SCP-3069. 


Access Point Il is identical in form and function to Access Point I, 
and is located at [EXACT COORDINATES REDACTED] at a depth 
of approximately 3200 meters. However, Access Point II appears to 
have suffered an internal structural failure at some point, and 
opening its hatch yields a blockage of an unknown, but nontoxic, 
sponge-like object. Drilling through this blockage has been 
considered, but not yet attempted due to its size and density. 


Access Point Ill is an invisible cylindrical spatial distortion located at 
43°36'58.9"N 21°27'35.6"W at a depth of approximately 4000 
meters, the size of which is estimated at a diameter of 150 meters 
and a height of 400 meters. Access Point III's anomalous nature 
appears to be caused by the installation of an immovable 
electromagnetic device, SCP-3069-A. SCP-3069-A is a two-meter1!2 
steel pole topped with a phosphorescent sphere, composed of an 
unknown material. SCP-3069-A constantly emits a faint green light, 
a magnetic flux field of 23.4-32.0 Tesla,13 and low levels'4 of 
gamma radiation. 


In 2021, Offshore Provisional & Research Site-3069 was established 
around Access Point III for the purposes of preventing entry into 
SCP-3069 by marine life forms, preventing exit from SCP-3069 by 
unknown life forms and substances, and establishing a point of 
research for SCP-3069 as a whole. 


+ show Exploration Log 1A 


On 03/06/21, five months after the initial discovery of 
SCP-3069, the first excursion into SCP-3069's interior 
was made through Access Point |. Three members of 
MTF Gamma-6 — Agents Jones, Garcia, and Lockwood 
— volunteered for field research and were instructed to 
enter through Access Point I's hatch and ascertain the 
following information about SCP-3069, if possible: 


¢ The origin of the anomaly; 

¢ the purpose of the anomaly, if applicable; 

* any hazards present in the anomaly; 

¢ how much of the anomaly is traversable, despite 
its massive size; 

whether the anomaly is one structure or multiple 
similar structures; 

¢ whether the anomaly contains life. 


All three agents were equipped with Class VI Hazardous 
Exposure Suits, in addition to Foundation standard high- 
pressure scuba gear rated to a resistance capacity of 
39,500 kPa. Agents Lockwood and Garcia were each 
equipped with waterproof digital cameras, and instructed 


to remain in the lead of the group, photographing any 
abnormalities, entities, or devices found on-board 
SCP-3069. Agent Jones was equipped with one 
miniature head-mounted video camera'5 for the 
purposes of later analysis, and instructed to remain 
behind Agents Lockwood and Garcia at all times. Agent 
Jones was equipped with standard two-way radio 
equipment for the purposes of communicating with 
observation personnel. All three agents were equipped 
with full-body locking restraint harnesses attached to a 
cord rappelling system, the pulley equipment of which 
was located on MTF Gamma-6's R24 mobile 
reconnaissance vehicle'® for the purposes of pulling all 
three agents back to the exterior of the access point in 
the event of an emergency. 


Exploration Log 1A: Radio Transmission Log 


Foreword: Agent Jones is tasked with 
communicating the team's actions in real-time 
to Gamma-6 personnel on-board the R24 
DSRV. Agent Jones is also tasked with 
instructing his team members to retreat should 
radio communications fail. If the team 
encounters an emergency or equipment 
failure, the harness system's line will be pulled 
by Agent Jones and the team members 
extracted to the DSRV via the path from which 
they came. The team members each have 40 
minutes of air supply. Access Point I's hatch 
has already been opened by the DSRV's 
portside arm.

Jones. Confirm status of team members. 


Agent Jones: Lockwood and Garcia are good 


to go. 


DSRV Base: Affirmative. Proceed away from 
the exterior of the vehicle and toward Access 
Point l. 


Agent Jones: Affirmative. Will contact when 
the hatch is entered.

the hatch. 


Agent Jones: Hell no, I'm not closing the 
hatch. 


DSRV Base: Affirmative. What are your 
surroundings? 


Agent Jones: Dark. Lockwood, Garcia, let's 
all turn our headlamps on. (oause) Alright, 
base, we've got a flooded hallway-type 
structure here. Dilapidated, with some sort of 
green algae growth on equipment. 


DSRV Base: Photograph and document the 
equipment. 


Agent Jones: Affirmative. 


Addendum 178-294b: [Audio log recorded after SCP-378's most 
recent escape attempt ( / /20 ; 1830hrs.). SCP-378 is inhabiting a 
Dr. (2-378), and has requested an audience (in plain 
English) with the Agent in charge of SCP-378's containment unit.] 


Agent (3-378): So you stowed away in one of the 
D's brains? 

SCP-378: Not really. Most of the brain wasn't there. | 
stowed away in the empty space. But that's semantics, | 
suppose. 

Agent: You specifically requested to speak with me. 
Given your lack of compassion until now, | take it this is 
something important?” 

SCP-378: You're astute for a human. Yes; there is 
something important we must discuss. My brothers will 
awaken soon. 

Agent [surprised]: Brothers? There are more of you? 
SCP-378: A great many more. Considering your inability 
to keep even one of us under control for extended 
periods, | can only imagine the chaos several million will 
cause. 

Agent [obviously shaken]: [expletive]. Millions? W-why 
are you telling me this? 

SCP-378: Because this meager world won't support us 
for long. With your lack of advanced technology, it might 
take thousands of years to find a way off this planet once 
it's consumed. | don't think | could stand another twenty 
millennia floating in space with nothing to eat. 

Agent: So then what do you want? 

SCP-378: | want you to kill them all. | want you to make 
sure this paradise doesn't dissolve before my eyes. I'll 
tell you how to kill them, but in exchange | want two 
things.” 

Agent: Go on...
