The first organism and the individual engage in 
hostilities. The organism appears to be ina 
large degree of pain when touched by the 
individual and attempts to retreat out the store. 
The individual throws the organism out of the 
store through a wall, creating a large hole in it. 
The ceiling is seen bulging downwards when 
the footage ends. 


Video recovered from security cameras outside the 
Johnson Public Library, facing Market Street. Start time 
is 1940. 


A speeding car is seen entering frame from the 
left, travelling along Main Street. The driver 
appears to lose control over the vehicle and 
crashes into a lamppost outside the library. As 
the lamppost is broken, it splits and buckles as 
a partially translucent spectral entity emerges 
from within the lamppost. The car's occupants 
leave the vehicle and begin running southwest 
along the street away from the entity. The 
entity gives chase, floating through the air. 


This goes on for several minutes with the 
entity gaining little ground. Eventually the 
entity stops giving chase and undergoes 
several changes in colouration. A blue 
coloured shock-wave of unknown composition 
is then released from the entity and travels 
after the fleeing people. The shock-wave 
passes over the people as they attempt to turn 
off the road, which causes the people to 
become transparent and fade. 


The following footage was pieced together from several 


partially surviving sources, centred around the entrance 
to the town hall. 


The exterior town hall is shown having 
sustained damage with the roof in a partial 
state of collapse. The front doors to the 
building are missing, replaced with a circular 
phenomenon glowing the blue/violet end of the 
spectrum. A convoy of vehicles appears 
travelling towards town hall at speed. The 
convoy consists of dozens of civilian cars and 
trucks, as well as Foundation vehicles 
matching those sent on the Manned 
Exploration of SCP-1936-1. A small number of 
humaniform robotic entities armed with 
firearms of unknown make and manufacture 
are seen running along side the vehicles. 


As the vehicles approach the town hall, the 
civilians and the Foundation personnel 
disembark. The civilians’ move towards the 
circular phenomenon at the apparent urging of 
the robotic entities and Foundation personnel. 
A triradially symmetric organism approximately 
3 m tall and covered in various technological 
items is seen exiting the lead Foundation 
vehicle. The organism interacts with one of the 
devices and appears to undergo a series of 
controlled convulsions for several seconds.8 


As the first civilians reach the circular 
phenomenon, a fractal-shaped? sheet of 
motile skin jumps from the roof of the hall 
towards the crowd. Due to its low mass and 
high drag, this takes several seconds, during 
which the robots and Foundation personnel 
open fire on the skin sheet, doing little 
damage. As the sheet reaches the ground, it 
leaps towards the nearest civilian and wraps 
itself around the civilian's head. The triradially 


symmetric organism runs towards the two, rips 
the skin sheet off the civilian, throws it to the 
ground and activates a flamethrower, severely 
charring the skin sheet and rendering it non- 
ambulatory. The organism then indicates to 
several nearby stunned civilians to enter the 
circular phenomenon. They do so, causing 
them to disappear from view. 


The robotic entities and Foundation personnel 
allow all civilians to enter, before collapsing 
inside the circular phenomenon themselves. 
When only the radial organism remains, it 
burns the phrase "PANGLOSS GRANTS YOU 
SANCTUARY" into the stonework above the 
town hall's entrance. The circular phenomenon 
remains in place as the organism leaves. 


The manifestation at Area-37 of 94 live civilians and of 
almost all of the missing Foundation personnel in the 
weeks following SCP-1936-1's disappearance is believed 
to be related to the above events. Individuals recovered 
so far have suffered memory loss regarding the events in 
Daleport, leading to no new information being gathered 
during debrief. 


While analysing recovered documents to determine the cause of 
SCP-1936-1's arrival, numerous references were made to a Cult 
named The Victory Society. 


Open Cultist Documentation 


The following note was discovered in the jacket pocket of 
a recovered body. The head and left arm of the corpse 
had swollen to three times their regular size. The corpse 
is believed to be that of James Curtis, who was a 
member of a local religious organization known as The 
Victory Society. 


What we need: 
Two trout 


A bottle of milk 

Virginal blood (where am i even meant to get 
that) to be mixed with the milk (he who walks 
beneath dreams is into that sort of thing 
apparently) 

Assorted souls, willingly sold (alliteration is big 
deal for that which waits inside the horizon) 

At least two hundred beetles 

Lots of ice (if hawshore thinks i’m doing the 
sculpture for this shivering mist thingy, he’s got 
another think coming) 

two dead bodies, have to have been dead for 
at least a year 

some human eyes (the blind one’s meant to 
have thousands of sockets, i dont think a few 
eyes are going to do it for him BUT OH WELL) 
marky and dan are getting the rest of the stuff. 
laura too, i think. hawshore just sits at home 
with his books though, the fuck. 


The following passage was written on the inside cover of 
a charred book, outside the church at the center of 
Daleport. 


The border of the mural is encompassed by 
Ssvlssr, the Shivering Mist that will descend 
upon the world during the Time of Awakening. 
The mist is all-encompassing, and shall act as 
a barrier to those wishing to stop the 
Awakening, as well as confine the Great Trinity 
of Potential Victors. The three at the center of 
the mural are the Great Victor of Flames, the 
Great Victor of Frost, and the Great Victor of 
the Storm. They rain down destruction upon 
One another, with their true names inscribed in 
unreadable, unknowable runes 


Around the three are visions of the Great 
Battle that contain the majority of those that 
shall come to this realm, with Djrr, the Dark 


God of Lamp-Posts, The Blind One 
illuminating the way for his followers, who 
leave tributes upon crooked light posts. Djlp 
manifests as the flies pouring out of the 
mouths of his beloved and becursed to assist 
in the conflict any way he can, while Yni-Yni, 
the Trepanner, frees his followers from the 
skulls of their oppressors. The Shredded 
Cabbage of Misfortune will destroy those who 
oppose the vegetable monarchy. Zinn, Herald 
of Maarp commands the army of Lepidoptera 
to carry those away who sleep with the flowers 
beneath the Silver Ash in the Dream Attics of 
Inanimatum. The Voice of Ages, though not 
visible, is omnipresent, represented by the 
yellow runes bearing his name hidden 
throughout the mural. 


Finally, at the bottom, the minor minions and 
deities pledge their allegiance to the three 
victors. Those who pledge their allegiance to 
the Great Victor of Flames are tinted orange, 
the Great Victor of Frost violet, and the Great 
Victor of Storms green. Many, such as He 
Who Walks Beneath Dreams, his face a mere 
triangle, remain unaligned, and are painted in 
black, for they are opposed to none and yet 
opposed to all. The Dark Deer Dm'axx is 
shown around the edges, forever excluded by 
the rest. Sheogorath remains, ruling his 
kingdom of two faces before he himself brings 
its downfall, only to be stopped by a great 
prisoner of the dragon king. Twenty goats 
stuck together making a goat ball, spin round 
and round all the way to goat hell. The 
skeletons forever fight their final war. The 
conflicts of these minor deities will have little 
impact on who the Great Victor of this battle 
shall be. 


Several documents were recovered from what is 
believed to be the body of Reverend Michael Hawshore, 
the leader of the religious organization The Victory 
Society. The body showed extreme spatially anomalous 
properties, and was incinerated after recovery and 
analysis. It appears that these pages were removed from 
a journal or diary, but their original source has not yet 
been found.

| am returning to Daleport. Godfrey wished me 
luck as | left, but | know he hoped for my 
failure. He is too idealistic to believe in my 
cause. | took all the necessary books out of 
the Library before | left, though. | suppose | 
could have just waited until | got home, but I’m 
not sure if I'll be able to find a proper Way 
there, and | very much doubt Godfrey would 
assist me. 


Hard to get all the books around. Had some 
trouble with the Lost Wanderer Dasa’n’asad’s 
Seventh Tome, but the container my contact 
gave me helped with the heat worries. Burnt 
my hand handling the thing, but still. You can’t 
hope to do something like this without minor 
sacrifices. 


James is meeting me at the station, but he'll 
most likely be late. He always is. You have to 
work with what you've got, but it’s 
disheartening there aren’t some more 
respectable people interested in this venture. | 
worry about the next time. 


August 1st, 19 


| am a little shaken up. The priming ritual for 


The One Of Broken Nines needed blood 
sacrifice. | had hoped anaesthetic could be 
used, but the ritual didn’t allow for that. The 
child is dead now, and it is done. We can’t lose 
track of the goal. The child would thank me, 
thank me from the bottom of his heart, if he 
knew why we were doing this. It’s for the good 
of everybody. It’s for the good of everybody. 
IT’S FOR THE GOOD OF EVERYBODY.10 
The Victor shall walk from the rubbles of man 
and restore clarity to those who remain. 


| am beginning to doubt James’ devotion to our 
cause. 


August 13th, 19 


The Voice of Ages needed the blood of a 
heretic. | suppose it just means heretic in 
general, the Voice wasn't picky about what 
kind of religion. James was not eager to 
contribute, but the fact that his blood worked 
proved that my suspicions were correct. The 
liar. He would have doomed us all in his 
selfishness. Things do not get easier, but my 
time is coming to an end. | have decided that 
we will not operate over the next two days. It 
will be a time for rest, so we can prepare for 
what is to come. | will welcome my death, even 
if it is not quick. 


The world will lie still again on Monday, and it 
will thank us for it. 


Additional notes found near the body of Reverend 
Hawshore. The first of these appears to be a transcript 
from a speech made by the Reverend, presumably to the 
members of The Victory Society. 


Brothers and sisters, we come together for the 
last time today. It has been a honor to work 


with you all. | could not have hoped for a better 
group with which to secure the future of 
mankind. 


From the dawn of time, terrible impossibilities 
have spawned from the darkness between 
stars, not hating life, simply being indifferent to 
it. We are as ants to these abominations, 
these demented Gods. | use this term as this 
is what they are called in older texts. You will 
not find any biblical God here. Or perhaps you 
will, | do not know. The use of ‘Gods’ here is 
this specific form of creature, born from the 
primordial chaos of this reality, not just a 
powerful being. Simply powerful beings do not 
reach the uncaring depths of cruelty and 
depravity that the Gods do. 


They are so far above us that we are but 
insects. Accordingly, we shall look as such. In 
order to gain the forgiveness and favour of the 
Gods, we must learn to know our place before 
them. 


Each of these things seeks dominion over the 
laws of reality itself, imposing the nature of 
their twisted existences upon stars and planets 
and people. The only answer to this threat? 
These Gods must be destroyed, the slate 
wiped clean. We could not do this, by no 
means, no. But we cannot allow these things 
to exist. A kingdom cannot have a billion kings. 
We cannot kill the Gods, no, only a God can 
kill a God. 


We will bring them here and bind them. Bind 
them until their bloodlust is sated, until all but 
One is dead. Always a single God remains: the 
Victor, who returns to whence they came as 
the only God remaining. But their primordial 


chaos eventually spawns more Gods, more 
twisted angels and demons. And so it all 
comes to pass again. Our vigilance must be 
constant, for a new Victor must be found again 
and again. We will leave a mark in creation, 
but it will fade. It will heal. 


Stand strong as our people have before. Stand 
strong as the near-men in ancient cities did. 
Stand strong as we did at the Gates of Sodom. 
Stand strong as we have always stood strong, 
because this must always be done. 


Fortune favours those who take bold steps. 
We shall become Unified with Inanimatum, 
entering the Somnium Aeternum. May we be 
forgiven. 


The following section was found in the back cover of 
Hawshore's journal.

Video recovered from a camera found on a rooftop during an 
expedition near a church in the center of Daleport. 


Open Additional Video Footage 


Frame from recovered video footage. 


Several entities of varying descriptions are 
visible engaging in hostilities with each other. 
Daleport's church is visible in the background, 
as the density of SCP-1936-1 is reduced for 
unknown reasons. 


A large creature of irregular shape which 
appears to be composed of large quantities of 
stone, soil and what is thought to be some 
form of fungi appears several meters above 
the church. Camera begins shaking at this 
time. A sound akin to distorted whale song is 
audible. The creature is estimated to be 50m 
in height. 


A second entity manifests above the church. 
The entity has a crystalline structure and a 
bright light is emanating from its central spire. 
A fifteen second long screech is audible. 
Already manifested entities cease hostilities 
and quickly leave the area in a manner that 
suggests they are fleeing. 


What is presumed to be a third entity 
manifests, but camera distortion prevents an 
analysis of its appearance. A deep humming 
noise is audible for the duration of the footage, 
until it cuts out. 


Footnotes 

1. Anumber of Daleport residents (deceased) and Foundation 
agents (unknown) are currently irretrievable from these rooms. 

2. Due to their properties, description of some of these spatial 
anomalies is inordinately difficult. 

3. Currently suspended 57m from the ground. 

4. UGVs used by the Foundation typically have a range of 70km 
from their base station in flat terrain. 

5. Humanoid transportation variant. 

6. Inconsistency was not noted until after the event.
