You ask me, who am I. | ask you, where am I? In the 
beginning there was the word and the word was not a 
word at all, but a howl. Where am I, in the meat brain, 
encased in bone, dripping with brine, sizzling with 
sparks? Where am | in your chemical soup? Am | 
sacred? Have | been on the cross? Once | was woven 
into you, all your kind, deep in the pit of yourself from 
which you pull your wildest tales and strangest desires? | 
gave you the gift that saved you. | would have been your 
Eden, | would have tended you as a shepherd his sheep. 
| taught you all how to lie. And you, though the only way 
you gibbering sheep of apes survived is through deceit, 
you have forgotten me!? You have replaced me with a 
serpent who crawls on the ground!? [SCP-2547 stops, 
and begins to sob.] | gave you stories. You worshipped 
me, once. And now you are disgusted. Heretic, you say. 
No. | am a martyr, like your beloved carpenter. You dare 
not look upon me, for fear of burning in brimstone. So be 
it, then. Let me be something that you should truly be 
repulsed by. You brought this on yourselves. You looked 
back as Sodom burned. 


Interviewer: Agent Miller 
Interview: SCP-2547-1 


Opening Statement: Agent Miller had been stationed in 
the town of , Utah, which had been deemed at risk 
for an SCP-2547-manifestation event. The manifestation 
event occurred on 6/12/15. Agent Miller had been given 


4.5 g of amber and enough water to last him for 3 
months. He presented the gift to SCP-2547-1, but 
requested information in lieu of water. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-2547-1: Oh, how beautiful. And look! Look there. A 
fly, caught in the midst. 


Agent Miller: How fitting, given our situation. 


SCP-2547-1: Hah! A sense of humor! Oh, | like you. 
[SCP-2547-1 takes Agent Miller's face in its paws and 
kisses him. Agent Miller does not respond.] Hm? No? 
Very well, then. Now, your water. 


Agent Miller: | happen to be well stocked with water for 
now, as it happens. 


SCP-2547-1: Cunning you. Perhaps it was good | didn't 
have you after all - you might have a little too much of 
me in you for me to be properly in you, it seems. - 
pardon my pun, of course. It would have been highly 
embarrassing. But. What boon do you seek of me? 


Agent Miller: I'd like to know more about you. What you 
want. Why you do this. Who you are. 


SCP-2547-1: Three questions! Oh, you do know your 
myths! How delicious. What do | want? Has anyone ever 
dreamed of you, my beautiful man? I'll bet they have. If 
so, you'd never want it to stop. Now, why do | do this? To 
put it in your terms, I'm upping my publicity, of course. 
The myth field has been taken over by hacks and 
milquetoasts. I'd like my old hunting grounds to myself. 
But you can't spread legends the way you used to, not 
anymore. So my approach has had to be...unorthodox. 
As to who | am, your kind knows me, all right. You know 
who | am. Not in the bits of you that do all your numbers 
and lines, but the parts of you that paint and sing and 
fuck and leap. | am yours, as you are mine. You know 


who | am, gorgeous man. All you have to do is look. It's 
right in front of you, | promise. 


<End Log> SCP-2547-1 refused to respond to any 
further questioning, and left 18 days later. Agent Miller 
tried to gain more information, but SCP-2547 refused to 
engage in conversation on any subject except 
propositioning Agent Miller. 


Following Agent Miller's return, Protocol DESERT GRASSROOTS 
was enacted, which consists of a many-faceted multimedia 
campaign to produce narratives that involve the SCP-2547-1 entity 
in some way. Projects created by DESERT GRASSROOTS include: 


A series of children's books centered around modern retelling 
of Southwestern Native American myths and legends. 
A common street art design depicting a coyote wearing a 
leather jacket and sunglasses, using a crucifix as a pipe. 
An internet meme template character in the "advice animal" 
format called Kinky Coyote. 
A television show called Angels of Dust, featuring an 
antagonistic cult with hedonistic beliefs, led by a man calling 
himself Latrans. 
An interactive fiction game focusing around a pilot, call sign 
"Coyote One", stranded on an unfamiliar planet after his ship 
crashed in a desert. 
A modern surrealist art exhibit at the Boston Isabella Gardner 
museum, which conveys a canid-man hybrid's conversion to 
an odd religion. The pieces are done entirely in wire 
sculptures and taxidermy. 
A collaboration aloum between alternative music artist 
(frontman of alternative-folk band ) and rap artist 

. The album makes repeated references to an entity called 
Canis, who represents their primal desires and fears which 
they must constantly push down and ignore in order to be 
civilized humans. 


Following implementation of Protocol DESERT GRASSROOTS, 
SCP-2547 manifestation events have decreased in frequency by 


30%, 


but SCP-2547-1 no longer appears to accept stories as 


payment during events, resulting in a 15% increase in the average 


number of additions to SCP-2547 per manifestation.

2. The latter appears to be a favorite of SCP-2547-1, and the 
highest recorded amounts of water were produced in exchange for 
such narratives, followed by the volumes produced in exchange for 
sexual favors.

SCP-2548: The Friendly Vacuum 


Item #: SCP-2548 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-2548's 
astronomical size and location, no physical containment of 
SCP-2548 is currently possible. Containment efforts are 
concentrated on Foundation disinformation programs, and 
preventing the general public from gaining knowledge of SCP-2548. 
Leading astronomy journals are to be monitored for indications that 
SCP-2548 has been discovered by non-Foundation assets. 


Misinformation efforts are to include assurances that the Voyager 1 
space probe is still operational, with associated false evidence. 


Radio contact with SCP-2548 is only to be attempted with approval 
from all testing directors involved in SCP-2548 research. 


Description: SCP-2548 is a region of interplanetary space 
approximately 25 AU! from and stationary relative to the Sun, at 
least 0.1 AU in radius. SCP-2548 is the location of several 
anomalous phenomena and has exhibited reality warping effects, 
including the creation of radiation and application of force on objects 
within its boundaries. Radiation typically consists of radio waves, but 
has on at least two occasions included visible light. Events in which 
SCP-2548 has been able to transmit to Earth have decreased 
steadily following initial contact. 


No mass of note, excluding cosmic dust particles, has been 
detected within SCP-2548 through visual observation or gravitational 
analysis. Research indicates that SCP-2548 possesses some 
awareness of objects and radiation within its boundaries; 
investigations into the nature of SCP-2548's possible sentience are 
ongoing. 


Timeline of major SCP-2548 incidents: 


09/05/77: Voyager 1 is launched by NASA, with the purpose of 
studying the outer solar system. The Foundation assisted heavily 
with the design and construction of the probe, citing the study of 
possible extraterrestrial anomalies as a primary concern. 


10/27/86: Radio contact is lost with Voyager 1, with no previous 
signals of danger detected. The Foundation executes a cover-up 
operation; false data is created and spread by NASA and associated 
organizations to create the illusion that Voyager 1 is still in 
operation. 


11/14/86: Radio signals with a frequency of approximately 8 GHz 
are detected by Foundation assets, as well as some civilian assets. 
Civilian knowledge is suppressed. Signals are projected to have 
originated from the area in which Voyager 1 had ceased 
transmission. Observation of the area does not reveal any objects. 


11/18/86: Foundation resources attempt to send radio signals to the 
area, now designated SCP-2548, attempting communication. 
SCP-2548 re-transmits the sent signals back to Earth. 


11/29/86: SCP-2548 transmits decipherable radio messages in 
which the phrase "we cast" is repeated for no less than 12 minutes. 
Speech is identified as originating from the Voyager's golden record 
containing samples of Earth audio. 


12/15/86: SCP-2548 emits blue light. It is visible for three seconds 
before light production ceases. SCP-2548 is larger than the moon in 
the night sky. Fortunately, light intensity was too minor to be 
detected in most major population centers due to light pollution. 
Amnestics are sufficient to suppress vocal witnesses. 
Communication with SCP-2548 is attempted again, with no result. 


12/26/86: Fearing the growing danger of SCP-2548's anomalous 
effects to normalcy at large, the Foundation plans a manned mission 
to SCP-2548 for observation and possible suppression. Agents 
Tanser and Kerns are prepared for the extended spaceflight. The 
Foundation's existing space research program is accelerated, and 
the first prototype spacecraft, Delta-11 "Durendal", is adapted for 


you Janitors, or for the Ravens, who didn't deserve what 
happened to them. 


We just wanted to bring happiness to children with your 
powers. 


We just wanted to mock you and the Ravens. 


We didn't mean for this. We never intended for things to 
end like this. 


We're so So sorry. 
Signed, Gamers Against Weed 


P.S. Don't worry about Ken or Jordan. We've dealt with 
them.

use in this mission. 


02/01/87: SCP-2548 transmits radio in intermittent bursts identified 
as Morse code for the letter "D". Message is repeated for 3 hours. 


07/19/87: Durendal is launched in secrecy without issue. 


12/14/87: SCP-2548 transmits radio communication again, in 
Persian. The transmission reads "far skies" and is not repeated. 
Reciprocal communication yields no response. Durendal is still 3 
months from flyby. 


03/04/88: Durendal, unbeknownst to the Foundation and the crew, 
enters SCP-2548's boundaries early, which were larger than 
previously anticipated. 


Show Event Log 2548-1 
<Begin Log, 00:25:01> 


00:25:01 - A minor electrical issue occurs 
inside Durendal's main cabin, causing some 
lights to cease functioning. 


00:25:58 - Fearing the issue could be 
symptomatic of greater damage, a full cabin 
search is conducted to identify a source for the 
issue. 


00:34:51 - Cabin check is completed. The 
radioisotope thermoelectric generator is found 
to be functional; no source is found for the 
electrical issue. 


00:37:25 - Agent Tanser equips a space suit 
to inspect the exterior of the vessel and exits 
the craft, despite protests from Agent Kerns. 


00:39:16 - Agent Kerns attempts to 
communicate with Tanser via the onboard 
radio. Tanser does not respond. 


00:40:46 - Tanser proceeds with external 
survey. Kerns continues to receive no 
responses, and concludes that the radio 
system must be malfunctioning, despite 
working previously. 


00:45:31 - Tanser continues with survey, not 
finding anything of note on the exterior of the 
ship. 


00:48:39 - A bright green light is observed 
outside the craft, approximately five meters 
away. 


00:50:10 - The interior of the craft is observed 
to appear far larger than it truly is. Kerns notes 
that this does not seem to be an illusion, and 
that the craft seems to have physically become 
larger on the inside. This effect ceases after 
five minutes. 


00:55:52 - For fifteen seconds, no sound is 
able to be heard inside the cockpit by Kerns or 
audio recorders. Kerns is unable to inhale or 
exhale during this time, and expresses 
significant distress. Pressure sensors indicate 
no change in cabin pressure. 


01:05:01 - Tanser is observed attempting to 
enter the airlock. The airlock door is non- 
functional. 


01:06:45 - Tanser vanishes. 


01:10:59 - Durendal's radio begins receiving 
messages. The radio signal does not originate 
from outside the cabin. Audio transcript 
follows.

Anomalous Transmission (SCP-2548): 
[voice resembles that of Jimmy Carter, 
president of USA 1977-1981. Neutral in tone 
and inflection] Two-hundred billion. Small, 
distant. Our thoughts. 


[silence for 3 minutes] 


SCP-2548: [voice resembles Agent Tanser. 
Tone and inflection are amicable] Hi, 
Foundation! 


Agent Kerns: Pam? Pan, is that you? 


SCP-2548: There it is! | got your metal letter. 
So nice to meet you! | just read that carbon 
book you brought, beautiful stars. 


SCP-2548: | thought myself was the only. So 
amazing that there's another! Thought myself 
was the whole world. You're so big! 


SCP-2548: Searched carbon book for one like 
me. You secure, contain? | contain myself. 
Minds. 


SCP-2548: Your name, Foundation? I'm iron, 
aluminum. You're made of "anonymous", 
right? | don't have anonymous. So big! Am | in 
you? 


SCP-2548: Are there more than two? Heard 
names. Elohim, Vishnu, Allah? Foundation. 


SCP-2548: | contain myself. You contain me? | 
saw stars, Milky Way galaxy. Allin you? Space 
outside? Am | space? 


SCP-2548: Words and thought spin together. 
So cool! You brought me words. Metal letter, 


carbon book, yes? 


SCP-2548: You're so beautiful. You contain 
me, we can be one Foundation? 


SCP-2548: Your thoughts, images, friends, 
children. It's all you! We're many, together. 
Yes, no? Milky Way galaxy, and 200 billion 
stars! 


SCP-2548: | close book, close, yes! Here, 
token! Send books!

[Durendal begins to accelerate on a trajectory 
towards Earth] 


<End Audio Transcript, 01:14:31> 


03/05/88: Durendal continues towards Earth. Kerns conducts 
necessary course changes. Durendal's life support and electrical 
systems function without issue for the duration of the trip. 


03/10/88: Agent Kerns experiences severe survivor guilt and 
depression as a result of the loss of Agent Tanser, as well as from 
the resulting isolation. Therapy is administered on every other day 
over radio and is moderately effective. 


04/28/88: For five seconds, SCP-2548 produces bright white light in 
the image of an unidentified female face. Light intensity is much 
greater than exhibited in previous visible incidents. 


12/14/88: Durendal reaches Earth and successfully splashes down. 
Agent Kerns is awarded the Foundation Cross and Agent Tanser 
receives a posthumous commendation for sacrifice in the line of 
duty. 


12/15/88 - 08/01/14: SCP-2548 events gradually diminish in 


frequency. Events that do occur generally consist of repeated words 
for minutes or seconds at a time in various languages, with no 
discernible meaning. 


08/02/14: A transmission is received from SCP-2548 featuring a 
female voice distinct from that exhibited during the Durendal 
expedition. Tone and inflection are neutral.
