Team stops. Gold takes four prototype RPD 
(Remote Perceptual Display) helmets from 
pack. Group members don helmets, and bring 
them online. Audiovisual feeds for Green, 
Gold, Red, and Blue display successfully at 
Command location. 


Green: Command, confirming RPD devices 
ready to go. Ready for systems check. 


Red: So these things show you what we're 
seeing? Like, what's inside our heads? 


Command: Yes, Agent, that is correct, 
assuming all goes well. 


Gold: What are you, stating it for the record? 
Red: Dude. 


Command: All of you, tell us what you're 
currently seeing. Red, you first. 


Red: | see... A giant face. And a giant arm. 
Can't make out the rest of it. Jesus, you know, 
| didn't expect it to be so big. 


Audiovisual feed for Red confirms this 
imagery. 


Command: What is the appearance of the 
face? 


Red: Like a giant that Jack killed. Looks like a 
human, but... not quite. | can't put my finger on 
the difference, but it's definitely, definitely 
there. Like it might have bug eyes and feelers 
at any moment. | know it's very still, like corpse 
still. Which | guess makes sense, but damn. 


Command: Check. Gold? 


Gold: | see a starship. Not sure how else to 
put it. Not like a real space shuttle, like a 
starship from an old sci-fi novel, or maybe Star 
Trek. Big sweeping curves. From our 
perspective, it looks like it's got a curved wing 
closest to us. Probably equivalent to the arm 
that Red's seeing. | can see the front further 
up, where Jack thinks the head is — reminds 
me of where I'd expect a command center to 
be. (Pause) Honestly, it's kind of breathtaking. 


Audiovisual feed for Gold confirms this 
imagery. 


Command: Check. Green? 


Green: I'm seeing a roughly humanoid form, 
which looks like it's superimposed over a fallen 
tower. | recall this imagery from the report we 
read. The fallen tower has an aesthetic that 
reminds me of a medieval castle, but... ah, 
futuristic, in a way. Or perhaps alien. 


Audiovisual feed for Green confirms this 
imagery. 


Command: Check. Blue? 


Blue: It's hard for me to pin down what I'm 
seeing. Seems like it's shifting. My 
impressions start with a moving city made from 
crystal and brightly colored, enchanted stones. 


I'm also getting a void in reality, a snowy 
forest, and a... huge, infinite pit with a glass 
pathway over it. (Pause) The pathway seems 
present across all of my impressions. I'll pay 
attention to it. | also get the strong feeling that 
this is only a small fraction of the entity, like we 
can only see the tip of the iceberg. And | get 
the impression that it would be moving around 
a lot more if it wasn't dead. (Pause) That's all 
for now. 


Audiovisual feed for Blue confirms this 
imagery, shifting and blurring between 
described images. 


Red: Dang, | wish my shit was as complicated 
as all that. (Pause) No, wait. No | don't. 


Command: Check. Thank you. Go ahead and 
proceed, Team. 


Team proceeds to previously located entrance 
into SCP-3591. Team stops to unpack drone 
equipment and take readings on entrance. 


Command: Team, go ahead and give us 
another imagery confirmation. What do you 
see? 


Red: Ugh. Looks like a gaping wound. Would 
be bloodier if it wasn't dead. 


Green: | see a kind of incision, but also a 
stone doorway. Stone doorway is crumbling, 
damaged, but should be safe to enter for now. 


Gold: | just see the damaged spaceship 
entrance now. | still have the vague impression 
of the humanoid form, but it's like it's faded 
out. The spaceship looks pretty cool. (Pause) | 
feel a little guilty I'm not seeing anything 


worse. 


Blue: I'm seeing the pathway entering here. 
Crystal archway around it, or a gap in trees, 
or... a tunnel into a cavern, or... just the void 
on all sides. 


Audiovisual feeds confirm imagery. 
Red: What happens if you fall off? 
Blue: I'd rather not find out. 


Command: Thank you. Let us know when 
you're ready to proceed into the anomaly. 


Green and Gold have finished setting up drone 
systems. Drones are scanning areas around 
SCP-3591 entrance. 


Green: Command, ready to enter anomaly. 


Command: Go ahead, Green. Be cautious, 
please. We don't want to lose any of you in 
there. 


Team proceeds into SCP-3591 entrance. On 
the main feed, camera distortion increases 
until visibility is extremely low. All feeds except 
Blue's show a tunnel or hallway (though 
physical dimensions vary greatly across the 
feeds). Red's shows dull red, shriveled organic 
material, with slow seepage of dark red and 
black fluid. Green's shows a high cracked 
tunnel of carved stone with scattered rocks on 
the ground. Gold's shows a dimly-lit metal 
hallway, with open circuits on the walls hinting 
at futuristic technology. Blue's imagery flickers 
too quickly to resolve. 


Red: Gross. | hope this stuff isn't real. 


Gold: How bad is it? 
Red: It's just... leaking. 


Command: Blue, I'm not sure our connection 
is stable. 


Blue: Having trouble focusing, Command. | 
think it's my extrasensory perception training. 
Something about this entity is really lighting up 
my brain. It won't... resolve. 


Command: Anything you can do about that? 


Blue: Not sure. | don't know if this is some 
kind of defense mechanism, of if what I'm 
seeing is... more accurate in some way than 
what everyone else is seeing. 


Green: Any ideas on what we're literally 
seeing? 


Blue: Sorry. I'm not even sure what kind of 
anomaly this is. | don't think it's magical, at 
least, in the traditional sense. If it's even of our 
reality, it's doing a good job hiding it. 


Gold uses the drones to advance along the 
hallway, trying to scan and verify actual 
physical dimensions of the interior space. 


Red: What's it mean if it's not of our reality? 


Blue: If it's from our reality, at least local 
reality, we should have some way of 
comprehending it. Even if it's with Serpent's 
Hand style magic, or what they used to call 
"esoteric techniques". The Foundation's 
gathered quite a lot of these things, and 
Sigma-3's been allowed to play with a lot of 
them over the last few years. We should be 
able to figure something out. But if it's not from 


Our reality... 
Red: What? We go mad from the knowledge? 


Blue: Not necessarily. Does an ant go mad if it 
sees a human? 


Audiovisual feeds display spike of interference, 
showing distortion that blots out most audio 
and video for approximately fifty-one seconds. 
When the feeds resume, the team is still in the 
same location, but the drones have advanced 
along the hallway, reaching a bend in the 
corridor. Team members are staring at each 
other, with expressions of surprise visible 
behind their helmets. 


Gold: It's gone. 


Command: We lost you for almost a minute 
there. Did something happen? 


Green: We felt an unusual feeling. The 
sensory input was unclear. We all perceived 
what might have been a noise. 


Red: Kind of like... an echo. Had that feeling 
to it. 


Green: We can't be certain what happened. 


Command: Understood. Do you want to abort 
early? 


Feed shows team shaking heads at each 
other. 


Green: Not yet, Command. 


Gold: We're still running tests. (Pause) I'm not 
getting anything consistent from these drones, 
though. They're certain there's physical matter 


here, but they're constantly giving me different 
readings. As if it's changing, but the drones 
aren't detecting any expansions or 
contractions. They're just returning errors and 
then updating — 


Audiovisual feeds display another spike of 
interference. Distortion blots out most audio 
and video for approximately sixty-three 
seconds. Feed resumes. The team is still in 
the same location. 


Command: Can you hear us? 


Green: Yes. We just experienced the same 
phenomena as the first time. 


Red: Guys? Is it just me, or is this place 
getting... smaller? 


Audiovisual feeds do not immediately display 
signs of the environment becoming smaller, 
though post-mission feed analysis verifies that 
this had indeed been occurring since the 
second interference spike. 


Gold: Drones aren't catching anything like 
that, but they're pretty useless right now. 


Blue: | feel it too. Wait — look. 


Blue walks to the bend in the corridor and 
looks around the bend. The others follow. 


Blue: See? 
Red: Oh, fuck. 


Blue's feed shows a glass path slowly 
fracturing, pieces falling into a void / a forest 
collapsing in on itself / crystal dissolving into a 
white void. Green's feed shows a cave-in, with 


Details: SCP-466 and patient had begun to show 
abnormal behavior as extremities, excluding the head, 
began suffering from avascular necrosis over a 48 hour 
period. Afterwards, SCP-466 was observed to go into a 
state of acute cardiac arrest. Level-3 authorization was 
granted for a rapid response medical team to assist in 
the revival of the patient while observing the standard 
protocols of extrinsic biological hazards. SCP-466 and 
patient were pronounced dead after thirty minutes of 
continuous resuscitation. SCP-466 and patient were left 
in the containment cell for another 48 hours of 
observation with no activity reported. 


Level-3 authorization was then given to perform an 
autopsy on the deceased body. Upon opening the chest 
cavity, it was observed by medical staff that all arteries 
and veins had retracted from the external limbs and were 
clustered around the heart. Though the body was ina 
normal state of expected decay, the cardiovascular 
system seemed to show no signs of decomposition. 
During the autopsy, SCP-466 and the patient became 
active again and killed the two closest medical staff, 
Doctors Girard and Sharma. 


SCP-466 was observed appropriating the circulatory 
systems from the deceased into itself while also 
attempting to sever the head of the patient with a 
surgical bone saw. The patient's head was seen 
[REDACTED], which prompted Dr. Briggs to attempt a 
rescue of the patient from SCP-466. Dr. Briggs was 
subsequently killed; however, the distraction was timely 
enough to allow security teams to arrive on scene before 
the decapitation could take place. SCP-466 was 
eventually contained and the patient secured. Three 
medical and security staff were treated with minor 
injuries, two fractures and three lacerations. One security 
officer had to be surgically treated for a punctured lung 
and heart. 


Action Items: Review procedures regarding SCP-466. 


rocks slowly tumbling forward, advancing. 
Gold's feed shows a rip in the spaceship’s hull, 
open to outer space (an unfamiliar star 
system). Read's feed shows the tunnel 
shrinking down to a single point. This single 
point has a rapidly growing scab-like material. 


Gold: Hey, you hear that? 


Audiovisual feeds display another spike of 
interference. Distortion blots out most audio 
and video for approximately eleven minutes 
and thirteen seconds. 


Visual feed resumes. No audio. The team 
appears to be running and shouting in the 
vacuum of space. No details are visible in the 
landscape, only blackness. An unseen, 
unknown light source illuminates the team 
dimly — their features can be barely made out. 
However, they are clearly still running on solid 
ground. Feeds are lost again. 


Thirty-six minutes and forty-three seconds 
pass. 


Feeds resume as team emerges from 
SCP-3591, panting from exertion. Most of their 
equipment has been left behind, except the 
perceptual helmets. 


[END LOG] 


Post-Mission Report: All team members 
recovered well after medical attention. No 
team member was able to recall or report what 
occurred after Gold's question "Hey, you hear 
that?". No team member was able to recall 
what prompted Gold's question. Audio feed 
picked up no unusual noises. 


SCP-3591 


Examining team equipment, it was discovered 
that the team collected a sample from 
SCP-3591 while their feeds were offline. 
Sample appears to be the corpse of a non- 
carbon-based life form, similar to life forms 
identified in extra-universal travel via 
anomalous means. Creature is the size of a 
small dog, possesses thirteen legs, anda 
chitinous exoskeleton. No head appears to be 
present. Context of the creature is unknown. 
Correlations with existing SCP & anomalous 
objects have been found, and analysis is 
underway. 


Around two days post-mission, entrance into 
SCP-3591's limb was discovered to be closed. 


"Body" Test 
View Record 


Pre-Mission Report: Same four-person team 
as initial mission. (Volunteer basis despite 
offer of reassignment.) Test aimed to explore 
known entrance into SCP-3591's apparent 
body cavity. 


Mission control communication with team was 
largely impossible due to severe feed 
connectivity problems. Partial audiovisual feed 
was still collected and transcribed below. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


Team enters SCP-3591. No audio, except 
where noted. Remote perceptual devices show 
similar imagery as the prior mission, except 
the interior area of SCP-3591 is consistently 
many times larger. 


Feed lost. 


Feed resumes. Team Is in a large area with no 
visible walls in any version of personal imagery 
(only floor disappearing into the horizon or 
darkness). Team is walking through what 
appears to be an assortment of dead bodies. 


Gold: — more of these things, jesus. 


Blue: | can't make sense of them. What killed 
them? Why can't | get any magical info out of 
them? They can't all be — 


Feed lost. 


Feed resumes. Team is examining a large, 
complex floating device of many moving 
metallic parts. One side of the device is heavily 
charred and partially melted. Unlike 
surrounding area, device appearance is 
consistent across all four visual feeds. 


Team eventually moves on, after taking 
samples. They walk forward, with no apparent 
landmarks to guide them. 


Feed lost. 


Feed resumes. Team is standing at the edge 
of a massive drop-off. Across all feeds, there is 
no visible bottom to the drop. On Read's view, 
rivers of blood flow off the fleshy edge. On 
Gold's view, torn metal exposes glowing 
engines venting into space. On Green's view, 
a cracked stone cliff. On Blue's view, the view 
shifts too quickly to make sense of the visual, 
except that in the center of the apparent void, 
stretching vertically across the entire view, is a 
glowing thin object. (‘Thin' relative to the void, 
but massive compared to team members.) 


Scattered around the team, up to the edge of 


the drop-off, are numerous unidentifiable 
objects that appear to be devices or items of 
alien nature. These are consistent in 
appearance across all feeds. 


Blue is talking animatedly. 


Blue: — spear. It's the first time I've seen 
anything | can understand this whole [AUDIO 
LOST] 


Red: You mean... symbolism? 


Blue: Maybe something's trying [AUDIO 
LOST] that will even let my mind latch onto it. 
(Pause) Hang on. Do you [AUDIO LOST] 


Red: [AUDIO LOST] Oh God. 
Green: | don't hear... (Pause) Wait. 


Audio picks up what seems to be a distorted, 
low roar. 


Feed lost. 


Feed resumes. All four team members are 
laughing and talking to unseen entities. Team 
members do not appear to be speaking words 
in any known language, and speech appears 
to either be nonsense or indecipherable. No 
audio. Heavy visual distortion. Feed lost. 


Feed resumes. All four team members lie on 
the ground. No signs of life. Feed is 
intermittent for approximately twelve and a half 
hours before being lost again. 


Feed resumes after three hours. Team exits 
SCP-3591, alive. While shaken, they seem to 
be uninjured, and are collected after 
decontamination for examination. 


[END LOG] 


Post-Mission Report: Team members recall 
little of what occurred inside SCP-3591, 
including events recorded via feed. Integrity 
verification techniques determine that these 
are in fact the original team members, and that 
they did in fact die for between thirteen and 
sixteen hours, before returning to life by 
unknown means.
