around wildly varying terrains. Unlike IV, the inhabitants have 
not achieved space travel, and as a result, are currently at 
peace. 


Planet VI: equally hospitable until the events of // (see

been smashed in the large harbor facility. Despite the destruction, 
no bodies could be seen anywhere in this flooded coastal city. 


"Iroha, put on your air tank. We're going in." Asahi ordered, 
snapping his own air tank on. "Ueno, continue collecting samples 
here. If we don't return in... say, 30 minutes, return to our Japan 
with the data." 


"Understood sir." Ueno said, "Opening the airlock." 


The two men left the submarine and entered the freezing water. 
Silently, they moved towards the facility. The nearest hole was in the 
housing area of IJEMEA Harbor-15, where both of the men had 
been housed for the past year and a half. While familiar on the 
outside, the housing was unfamiliar, with old furniture dotting the 
room. 


"Command, be advised, the interior of the harbor facility looks a bit 
funny" Asahi reported, "From the looks of things, something unholy 
has happened upon this world." 


"A bit melodramatic don't you think? Everything is just older... and 
underwater | guess. Though, | gotta agree, this place is real fucked 
up, something terrible was here." 


The two men continued swimming through the hallways of the 
facility, searching for the Head Transcriber's room. The hallway split 
in two, on their right, the harbor and the left to their destination, the 
offices of the head officers. Moving left, the doors had all been 
sealed under the lockdown, so lIroha prepared the underwater 
breach. After a loud explosion rocked the facility, the two men 
entered the office. 


"No hard drives anywhere in here." Asahi said into his microphone, 
"In fact, | haven't seen a computer here this whole time." 


"Hey, look at this." lroha beckoned Asahi over to the corner of a 
room where a vacuum-sealed binder could be found. 


"Command, we believe there is something here that was left for 
survivors that nobody has taken. We're bringing it back to the 


submarine as soon as possible. They look like IJAMEA documents, 
but the water is too murky to really tell." 


"Lets get back to the sub, we're sure to get a promotion for this find. 
And this place gives me the creeps, | want to get out of this shitty 
place." 


The Japanese operatives exited the room, towards the hallway. As 
they swam down the hallway, Asahi noticed something out of the 
corner of his eye. 


"Command, we believe we have found something else. There 
appears to be a large stack of green spheres in the harbor." Asahi 
reported to his mic, changing directions to move to the harbor, "I'm 
getting closer to take a picture." 


"Asahi, get back here, we don't know what those things are. They 
could be eggs. or something" Iroha said, grabbing Asahi's leg, "We 
shouldn't stay here long, we have valuable cargo." 


"If they're eggs, all the more reason to document them. | am your 
superior officer here, it's my call." 


On closer inspection, the iridescent green spheres contained 
something, five arms swirling in side of some green fluid. Hundreds 
of these eggs stacked on top of each other in a verifiable mountain 
of caviar. 


"Command, we have found eggs, it seems life can exist here after 


Asahi stopped speaking, following Iroha's stare towards a large hole 
in the harbor, where five large eyes stared down at them. The 
creature, this demon, was at least 80 meters tall, with five long 
tentacles. The face was crocodilian, an unholy bastardization of 
animals, grown to a size rivaling the greatest monsters from any 
movie. The two men froze in the water, hoping that somehow, the 
demon that was staring right at them hadn't seen them somehow. 
The water was silent, almost silent enough that if they had listened, 
they could have heard a single egg fall from the top of the stack, and 
land on the ground next to them. 


The creature jetted towards the pair, quickly closing the distance 
between the two parties. lroha thrust the vacuum-sealed binder into 
Asahi's arms. 


"There are still submarines in the harbor. Take it, go to Ueno, and 
get out." Iroha said, moving back towards the eggs. "I'll be right 
behind you if it isn't interested in eating me." 


"Don't do this lroha, we can both make it." 


"Get out of here. This is what we trained for, its more important than 
me." 


lroha pushed Asahi towards the floating submarines, and started 
grabbing eggs to crush them in his hands. The only sounds Asahi 
could hear were his own breaths and Iroha's breath in sync with 
each other. Silent. Calm. Asahi took a final look back towards Iroha, 
and entered the submarine. Despite its apparent damage and age, 
the airlock opened, and Asahi stepped inside. 


lroha's microphone was still on, and Asahi could hear the still, calm, 
breath of the trained swimmer. Asahi turned off his speaker, just 
before the breathing would've been interrupted by the loud crack of 
a body breaking. The only sound Asahi could hear was his own 
breathing. 


The power turned on and the submarine puttered alive. The busted 
up submarine puttered towards his own ship, and Ueno moved 
towards him as well. Asahi exited the old submarine and went into 
his new one. As Asahi entered the submarine, he wordlessly 
scraped the sigil off with his knife, then the blue world in his window 
turned into bubbles, then fog, and then the clear blue sky. 


The Kaiju Sea 


The Kaiju Sea 


SCP-3534-02, The Salvation of the Starfish, 
Waterworld but not the Kevin Costner One 


Conspectus 


The Kaiju Sea is an alternate reality version of 
Earth, almost completely covered by oceans and 
inhabited by colossal aquatic and semi-aquatic 
chimaeras. It is speculated that this is where the 
Quin Krake! that attacked Hy-Brasil in 1988 
originated from. If this is the case, the Kaiju Sea 
may pose a risk of other such entities invading 


other realms, possibly en masse2.

Knowledge 


Traits: The Kaiju Sea appears to have been a 
common version of Earth until some point in the 
mid to late 20th century when it was subjected to 
an invasion of Kaiju$ from a currently unknown 
reality. The Kaiju numbered in the thousands at 
the very least, and their assault put a quick end 
to the endemic human population. Their 
presence also seems to have gradually altered 
the planet itself, most notably by producing a 
drastic increase in the amount of water. Roughly 
90 percent of the land is submerged and there is 
a near-permanent fog at the surface. 


The Kaiju themselves vary wildly in size, 
anywhere from 20 to 500 feet. Their bodies are 
typically an amalgam of reptilian, cephalopod 
and ichthyological¢ traits. Nearly all Kaiju 
observed to date are pentaradially symmetrical, 
with body parts that typically come in pairs 
instead coming in sets of five. 


The Kaiju have been observed to be highly 
aggressive, attacking most other entities on sight 
as well as frequently battling each other. 
Although spectacular, these fights are rarely 
fatal as Kaiju possess both supernatural 
durability and regenerative abilities. They also 
possess a variety of offensive thaumaturgical 
abilities as well, such as being able to exhale 
spellfire that does not extinguish underwater. 


Nature: The Kaiju Sea is completely devoid of 
all human and terrestrial life, presumably due to 
a combination of the mass flooding along with 
attacks by and competition from the Kaiju. Non- 
anomalous ocean life is abundant, with a notable 
increase in the population of most species of 
starfish. The Kaiju occupy the niche of apex 
predators, feeding predominately on whales. 


The exact population of Kaiju is unknown, but as 


they have yet to deplete their primary food 
source, it appears that the Kaiju kill significantly 
fewer whales than Humans did during the era of 
industrial whaling. Given both the size and 
aggressive nature of the Kaiju, this is somewhat 
perplexing. 


In addition to the problem of food, the colossal 
size of the Kaiju clearly violates the square-cube 
law, as well as introducing a variety of other 
scale related problems. Most knowledge we 
possess on Kaiju anatomy was acquired from 
ICSUTS, who performed extensive tests on the 
remains of the Quin Krake’8 after its attack. 
They came to the conclusion that in addition to 
possessing extensive non-euclidean biology and 
abnormally thaumaturgically active cells, the 
Quin Krake had a relatively low internal Hume 
value, lessening the effect of our reality's laws of 
physics on its body. 


No one has yet observed Kaiju mating919. 
Based on ICSUT's analysis of the Quin Krake's 
carcass, they are believed to possess biological 
sex i.e. produce either male or female gametes. 
The Kaiju that attacked Hy-Brasil was female 
and contained several million unfertilized 
eggs'', but did not possess a uterus, likely 
indicating that eggs are fertilized externally. This 
would make sense, as the Kaiju's apparently 
universal aggression towards each other would 
seem to preclude the possibility of internal 
fertilization’2. 


History & Associated Parties: Exactly how and 
when the Kaiju Sea was brought into being is not 
known. There are few known survivors from that 
realm, and none of those know exactly what had 
befallen their world aside from a flood and an 
invasion of monsters. 


Certain members of the Fifth Church, Southern 
Fifthists in particular, have claimed'3 that the 
Kaiju are in fact angels of the Starfish'4 and 
were sent to deliver Judgement upon that world 
for its lack of devotion, as well as to serve as an 
example to all other worlds as to what would 
happen if they did not accept the Starfish into 
their hearts1516. Other sources claim that the 
offence was more egregious, and that some 
mortals somehow tried to gain entry into the 
Starfish's Heaven during their Earthly lives. The 
latter explanation seems more likely, as the vast 
majority of realities have only small populations 
of Fifthists, and none of them have been invaded 
by five-limbed angels. 


Approach: Many of the Ways connecting the 
Kaiju Sea to the Library before the Flood are still 
functional, although passing through them 
requires a deep dive suit. Also take precautions 
so that when you open them you will not flood 
the library, lest you face the wrath of the 
docents. 


The Kaiju Sea may also be reached using 
vessels, machines, or entities capable of 
multiversal travel. 


There is also allegedly a spell one can inscribe 
upon any seafaring vessel that will transmute it 
into a submarine, which will then transition to the 
Kaiju Sea upon reaching an adequate depth. 
This spell is said to have been discovered by 
IJAMEA and is currently kept secret by the 
Jailors. 


Other Detail: Determining how the Quin Krake 
was able to reach our world from the Kaiju Sea 
is of paramount importance if we are to prevent 
such a catastrophe from happening again. One 
of the most accepted theories among the 


Serpent's Hand and other Library Patrons is that 
the Kaiju are able to use their thaumaturgical 
capabilities to generate their own Ways and 
migrate to alternative realities. They can do this 
either individually or en masse. 


ICSUT is currently investigating leyline 
manipulation, in the hopes that our world's 
leylines could be used to disrupt or redirect such 
massive Ways. Some scholars at ICSUT have 
also speculated that it was only the failing wards 
of Hy-Brasil that permitted the Quin Krake to 
enter our world, and even that was only a 
chance manifestation of the great misfortune the 
failing wards demanded as balance for their 
centuries of protection. The merits of this theory 
remain hotly debated. 


If a way is not found to prevent the Kaiju from 
migrating to our reality!” we could very well 
suffer the same fate as befell the Kaiju Sea. 
Further research is needed to discover precisely 
how and why the Kaiju travel between worlds in 
order to find means to deter or prevent them 
from entering ours. Considering what it took for 
the Book Burners to bring down just one of these 
creatures, a large-scale invasion would be truly 
unstoppable'8. 


Observations & Stories 


That Bird Wizard, the one who calls himself The 
Wandsman of Kul-Manas, chartered us to take 
him to the Kaiju Sea shortly after he first heard 
about it in the Library. He could have got there 
on his own, but is apparently not a very strong 
swimmer. 


The first weird thing that happened was that we 
emerged in low earth orbit instead of the 
surface, which is where | took that photo. 
Evidently, something about the Kaiju Sea 
triggered our protective wards and we had to 
cast counterspells just to land. 


The air on the surface was damp and cold, with 
fog so thick you couldn't see a furlong ahead of 
you, let alone the sun. The eerie silence was 
only broken by distant and monstrous wails that 
carried across miles of unperturbed ocean. 


Since we couldn't see a damn thing on the 
surface, we decided to dive almost immediately. 
To our surprise, we were right on top of a major 
city. Couldn't tell you which one though. There 
wasn't enough left of it. It was all toppled and 
crumbling buildings encrusted in barnacles and 
seaweed. It was a heartbreaking sight, to be 
honest. 


Fortunately we didn't have much of a chance to 
mourn for the people of that world, because it 
was at that moment that one of the Kaiju spotted 
us. Do you know what a Mosasaurus is? It kind 
of looked like that, except with five tentacles in 
place of a tail, five pairs of flippers, five dorsal 
fins along its back and five axolotl gills ringing its 
neck, each with an eye at the base. Oh, and it 
was over 400 feet long. 


It came charging straight for us, screaming some 
horrid sonic attack, so we took evasive action. 
The Wandsman wanted a chance to observe it 
but Nemo wasn't about to risk the Nautilus and 
all our lives, and she fired our spectral cannons 
at it. They barely made a dent in it, and even 
that healed before our eyes. We tried to shake it 
but despite its titanic size, it could really move. 
Nemo ordered that we surface but somehow the 


Kaiju got over top of us. Matching our pace, it 
started descending, forcing us down with it. 


Deeper and deeper we went, each second 
bringing us closer to being crushed on the 
seafloor by the colossal chimaera. It was then 
the Bird Wizard proved himself to be more than 
just an armchair'9 scholar. He grabbed a hold of 
one of our spectral cannons and used it to carve 
a Sigil of some kind into the beast's flesh. 


I'm not sure exactly what it did, but the Kaiju 
started flailing around in pain and it was enough 
for us to pull ahead and make for the surface. Of 
course, the sigil healed within seconds and the 
Kaiju was right back on our aft, its fifty-foot jaws 
opening and snapping shut as it tried to nab us. 
When we breached it leapt out of the water after 
us like a flying fish. For a second we were all 
afraid it might actually be able to fly, but as we 
rose above the ocean we happily heaved a sigh 
of relief as gravity pulled it back down into the 
abyss.
