Porto Seguro. My job was basically to find out 
where she- where it was going to ground, 
where its safe house was, so to speak. | had a 
gun and tranquilizer, of course, but | couldn't 
really do body armor or anything without 
sticking out like a sore thumb. Plus it was the 
hottest day of the summer, | would've boiled 
alive. 


Anyways, | followed the anomaly into the 
downtown, Cidade Alta it's called... and | saw 
something out of the corner of my eye. We 
were going down this alleyway between a 
bunch of flats, and it was getting really windy. 
And | got distracted by this torn-up trash bag, 
out of the corner of my eye, | mean... 
Anyways, | started looking at this bag because 
it also made sense, you know, to not be 
looking at the anomaly in case she looked 
back. But then | got jumped. 


It wasn't the anomaly. Just some small-time 
crook with a submachine gun. Wasn't even 
holding it right. | was reaching into my pocket 
to give him a fake wallet, and then there was 
just a clattering of gunfire. And first | thought | 
was dead, but then | realized, no, my ears 
were ringing and | couldn't hear anything else 
so | had to be alive. So | just kicked back on 
reflex to disarm the kid, and then | got a good 
look around. That fucking trash bag had blown 
up behind us and smacked into the kid - there 
was like a rock in it or something - and 
spooked him so his shots went all over the 
damn place. And one of those shots must've 
hit the buildings, and this massive chunk of 
brick came down and absolutely brained the 
reality bender. 


So the gangbanger was on the ground and the 


High School football field their last manifestation location when not 
in an active state. Occasionally, individual instances of SCP-332 
have been known to suddenly begin struggling with an unseen force 
before returning to their normal stance. The reason for this behavior 
is unknown. No instance of SCP-332 has ever attempted to 
communicate with Foundation personnel. Instances of SCP-332 do 
not appear to feel hunger, pain, or suffer from exposure to the 
elements, and were observed to stand in the same location for over 
30 years. 


Once every 48 hours, SCP-332 will enter an active state. All 
instances will disappear and instantaneously re-appear at another 
human population center. SCP-332 appears to favor major tourist 
attractions and event facilities which frequently host marching 
bands. SCP-332 will also emit sound if any person enters the area 
of exclusion, or if a noise between 15 and 80,000 Hz is made within 
this zone. While active, SCP-332s will continuously march around 
the perimeter of the area it has appeared in for a period between 15 
and 45 minutes. Following this, SCP-332 will turn to face the largest 
nearby concentration of human subjects and play a music piece. 
Pieces played by SCP-332 vary, but it primarily consists of 
marching-band arrangements of popular songs from 1967-1976. 
Sounds produced by SCP-332 have a consistent volume throughout 
the active zone, with the sound fading abruptly outside of that zone. 


If a subject is able to hear the music played by SCP-322, they will 
attempt to obtain any instrument near them and join SCP-332 in 
playing. Subjects affected in this manner (hereafter Known as 
SCP-332-B) will report high amounts of anxiety if unable to obtain a 
musical instrument within 10 minutes of coming under SCP-332's 
effect. If they are unable to join SCP-332 within 10 minutes, they will 
walk with the band and begin miming an instrument as they march 
with the band, and will attempt to replicate the sound being 
produced by SCP-332 with their voice. Instances of SCP-332-B who 
join with SCP-332 will march and play until they pass out from 
exhaustion or hunger, at which point they will be trampled by other 
instances of SCP-332-B and SCP-332. For every ten SCP-332-B 
instances who join SCP-332, the area of effect will increase by 300 
meters. This radius of effect will expand until all instances of 
SCP-332-B are terminated or incapacitated, at which point 


bend - anomaly was probably dead, so | called 
in for backup, and that's pretty much what 
happened... though there was one more weird 
thing. Probably nothing, but you can't be too 
careful with... anomalies like that. 


Interviewer: What was it? 


P.: When the wind picked up the bag - welll, it 
almost looked like a circus monkey running 
away. Like... you ever seen in Calvin and 
Hobbes, where Calvin and Hobbes are 
stacked on top of each other in a trench coat? 
Kind of like that. 


Target 79: Jinotega, Nicaragua (18/09/19 ) 


Summary: A summoning by a minor cult 
resulted in the creation of a severely deformed 
and mentally disabled Type-5 reality bender 
(Alpha Threat) that instigated [REDACTED]. 
However, intervention by SCP-2820 
neutralized the Aloha Threat and prevented a 
more severe catastrophe. Given the massive 
repercussions of the event, a more time-and- 
resource-intensive investigation into the event 
was authorized; including interviews with 
civilians in the area, forensic reconstructions of 
the area, and the use of [REDACTED]. Due to 
the sensitive information contained in this 
document, full access is limited to Department 
of Thaumaturgy personnel. 


Recreated Timeline: 

09:08 (16/09): Man drops ballpoint pen on 
ground. 

09:16 (16/09): Leader of cult walks by and 
slips on ballpoint pen. This results in her being 
delayed by two minutes to catch a bus. 
[REDACTED] 

13:16 (16/09): Minor cult member, sent as 


secondary option, picks up wrong flintlock rifle, 
presumably due to unfamiliarity with firearms. 
[REDACTED] 

17:50 (17/09): As a result of ecto-copulation, 
an anomalous storm pattern forms over the 
Mancotal Dam. Foundation Meteorological 
Department identifies anomalously rapid 
formation of storm system, which is confirmed 
to be of thaumaturgic origin. Omega-8 is 
deployed to Jinotega. 

[REDACTED] 

04:22 (18/09): Agent Barnes regurgitates 
Alpha Threat, thus partially completing the 
third portion of the aforementioned prophecy. 
Alpha Threat levitates trench coat. 
[REDACTED]

[REDACTED] 

07:16 (18/09): Laws of gravity briefly cease 
working in a cylinder around the top of the 
dam, causing the Homo superior to 
asphyxiate. 

08:34 (18/09): Laws of gravity reinstated 
around top of dam. 

[REDACTED] 

14:47 (18/09): Frog detonates bomb, 
preventing Alpha Threat's complete rebirth. 
[REDACTED] 

21:40 (18/09): Rock falls out of coat pocket 
onto bottle of tequila, breaking it and averting 
an XK-Class scenario. 

[REDACTED] 

23:47 (18/09): Trench coat is thrown onto 
flintlock rifle, which inadvertently discharges, 
striking Alpha Threat in the head and killing it. 
01:10 (19/09): Cleanup operation begins. 


Target 91: [REDACTED] (08/05/2000) 


Summary: SCP-2820 targeted the Site 


Director of Site-75. All attempts to destroy or 
deactivate it were unsuccessful. The Director 
was killed when the Scranton Anchors used to 
protect his safehouse suffered an 
unprecedented malfunction. 


09:47 (08/05): SCP-2820 begins tracking 
William Bell, Director of Site-75, who is 
immediately detained, examined, and found to 
be wholly non-anomalous. 

22:13 (08/05): An attempt is made to destroy 
SCP-2820 with high explosives, but it is 
undamaged by the attempt. Further attempts 
to destroy the anomaly are unsuccessful. 
03:15 (09/ 05): Bell is transported to a Level 5 
safehouse with all possible precautions 
against anomalies, including the usage of 
Scranton Reality Anchors. 

07:47 (09/05): SCP-2820 fires. 

17:36 (09/05): An unexpected defect in the 
structure of the SRAs causes a feedback loop 
which results in massive spatial deformation, 
killing Bell and destroying the safe house. 
18:06 (09/05): SCP-2820 is interviewed.

VSHNV:~ PL%default$: 

PL%default: help 

KALKI: hello. how are you? 

PL%default: why did you kill that last person? he was 
not anomalous. 

KALKI: he had not yet awakened to his true form. within 
ten years he would have discovered that he was a 
sunyavadi, and wreaked havoc upon mankind. i 
prevented that. 

| PL%default: how do you know that he would have been 
anomalous? 

| KALKI: i am transcendent. i am all-pervading. i am your 
past, your future, your present. for you, he would have 
eventually become a sunyavadi. for me, he had always 


been a sunyavadi. 

PL%default: how did you kill him? 

KALKI: time is meaningless. i shaped his past that his 
future would destroy him. 

PL%default: how do we know you did not kill him for 
some other reason? 

KALKI: i do not enjoy taking lives. before i awoke to my 
true form, i wished to explore outer space. but i chose to 
fulfill my duties and end the kali yuga. i ended the 
sunyavadi's life because it was my dharma‘. 

| KALKI: i am lord vishnu. the preserver. what i do, i do to 
bring humanity into a golden age. 

| KALKI has logged off.

SCP-2821: A Lunar True Vacuum 


Item #: SCP-2821 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2821 must be monitored 
on aconstant basis for any changes in behavior and size. Geiger 
counters and cameras are to be lined throughout the chamber, with 
two Minkowski Spacetime Monitors set up within a 0.5 kilometer 
distance around SCP-2821's chamber. The tunnel leading from 
Lunar Area-—32 to SCP-2821 is to be maintained and routinely 
checked for radiation. Two airlocks coated with lead foil are placed 
at the entrance of the tunnel and the midway point of it to prevent 
contamination of Lunar Area-32 from gamma rays and decaying 
isotopes. The cover above the hole from the lunar surface to 
SCP-2821's chamber should resemble the lunar landscape to 
reduce risk of discovery from cameras. This cover should be made 
of heat absorbing materials to match the temperature of the 
surrounding surface. Transmissions of any sort from SCP-2821 
must be reported to Level 4/2821 researchers immediately, along 
with any possible signs of communication. Non-Foundation 
personnel that detect these transmissions will be interrogated and 
administered amnestics. 


Description: SCP-2821 is a spherical spatial anomaly, theorized to 
be a true vacuum!, located 1.25 km from Lunar Area-32 in a 
spherical cavern with a diameter of 0.9 km. The size of SCP-2821 
changes erratically at the speed of light, though it currently has a 
diameter of ~0.55 km. Any objects entering SCP-2821 will become 
subject to the current laws of physics within the anomaly, which 
change at random intervals?, often causing the destruction of said 
object. At times objects can be seen forming or moving around 
within SCP-2821, labeled SCP-2821-1 instances. Occasionally 
SCP-2821-1 instances have left SCP-2821, often breaking apart into 
various radioactive isotopes and particles. One central entity can be 


seen within the anomaly, labeled SCP-2821-2. This entity appears 
as a mass of rapidly flashing colors, with occasional tendrils coming 
out of it, and has remained permanently in the center of SCP-2821 
since its discovery. It is theorized that SCP-2821-2 is either the 
cause of the anomaly or is preventing its expansion. 


Occasionally radio transmissions are detected coming from 
SCP-2821. A majority of these radio transmission are static, though 
some contain speech from an unknown individual and 
miscellaneous noises. The length and times at which these 
transmissions occur are random, though some of their content has 
similar themes. Investigation into this is in progress. 


SCP-2821 was discovered during tunneling from Lunar Area-32 to 
Lunar Area-13, which would have served as a means of 
transportation between the two sites. On 13/4/2015, after digging 
1.25 km from Area-32, a piece of mining equipment fell into a large 
cavern containing SCP-2821. At this point the cavern had a 
diameter of 0.8 km, and SCP-2821's size was fluctuating at a rapid 
rate. During the ensuing investigation and development of 
containment procedures SCP-2821 reached a diameter of 0.3 km for 
a day, before reaching 0.9 km, creating the current cavern size and 
creating a hole to the lunar surface. This investigation led to the 
current accepted theory of this being a true vacuum. 


If SCP-2821 were to begin expanding at the rate dictated in 
quantum field theory, it would lead to a VK-Class reality restructuring 
event, with anything entering the anomaly following its new laws of 
physics and chemistry. As it takes 1.3 seconds for light to travel from 
the Earth to the moon and vice versa, both the moon and Earth 
would be destroyed before the Foundation could take a course of 
action. After ~6 hours most of the solar system would be destroyed. 
As the size of SCP-2821 changes at random, this could occur at any 
given time. 


Work on creating a suitable means of containment to prevent a VK- 
Class event is currently in development. The leading plan, Project 
Heisenberg-Stiriacus, involves the development of a modified 
Scranton Reality Anchor to either force SCP-2821 into 
staying at a set size or to neutralize it. Current issues with the plan 
include transportation of the device to Lunar Area-32 and the 


possibility of unknown interactions between SCP-2821 and the 
device, which could cause worsened containment or the expansion 
of the anomaly.4 


Addendum-1: Below is a table detailing physics seen in SCP-2821, 
each designated with @ and a number. This only lists the longest 
lasting and important physics states. A full document of all recorded 
states and further information can be seen in Document SCP-2821- 
V1. 


Designation Description Duration 

2821-0 This is the designation Variable 
for a majority of the 
physics sets seen in 
SCP-2821. This is not 
any single physics set, 
but refers to periods 
where the anomaly is 
rapidly changing its 
physics or when the 
physics prevent any 
major visible effects. 
The most that is seen 
in this is occasional 
particles, a visual 
effect resembling 
static, and clouds of 
particles. These 
particles usually last 
for a few seconds or 
less. This state is 
likely what a non- 
anomalous true 
vacuum would appear 
like if one were to 
exist. Occasional radio 
transmissions 
consisting of static are 
detected coming from 
SCP-28217 in this set. 


2821-2 


During this set 3 Weeks 
SCP-2821-1 instances 
in the form of light 
blue rocky objects 
were orbiting 
SCP-2821-2. A probe 
was sent into 
SCP-2821, which 
experienced some 
communication 
issues. It began to be 
pulled into orbit, and 
was destroyed when 
three SCP-2821-1 
instances collided with 
the probe and 
destroyed it. A 
secondary probe 
equipped with 
thrusters that would 
activate three minutes 
after entering 
SCP-2821, around the 
time it enters orbit, 
was sent into the 
anomaly a week later. 
Upon thruster 
activation the probe 
began to exit 
SCP-2821 with two 
SCP-2821-1 instances 
following. These 
instances vanished 
after exiting 
SCP-2821, releasing 
large amounts of 
gamma radiation. 
Equipment onboard
