Baker: The Hole. (Baker shivers violently, and pauses) 
The answered prayer of the prisoner. We prostrated 
ourselves before the universe and begged for release. 
The divine starfish heard our pleas, and pulled back the 
curtain of the material so we could gaze upon it. Within 
the Hole, we are as one. Within the Hole, we are unity. 
We taught it to light beacons — the billboards — in this 
world so as to guide others into its deep within. When the 
chosen have been taken, it will be our turn. We go last, 
and then the Hole will remake our world. 


Cpl. Thornton: And this is desirous to you? 


Baker: To be consumed, to become one with the 
collective? It is ecstasy. 


(extraneous additional dialogue removed) 
Cpl. Thornton: Can you elaborate on that? 


Baker: (laughter) On what is there to elaborate? Do you 
know what ecstasy is? Do you know what it is like to feel 
release, to feel true release, free from the bindings of not 
only our painstaking daily lives but our mortal forms? We 
are meant to be one. We are meant to feel and to exist 
as a collective. Only when all emotion, all feeling, all 
pleasure and pain alike is concentrated into one mass, 
one existence, can we truly experience solace. We — 
you and I, here at this table — we are fragments. 
Fragments of a mosaic that could be so much more. 


Cpl. Thornton: | see. And it is your opinion that this- 
mosaic, this collective, can be completed by multiple 
people jumping into this... hole? 


Baker: The Hole is more than just a hole, Corporal. It is 
the end of our suffering and it is the greatest pleasure 
you will ever feel— 


Cpl. Thornton: That / will ever- 


Baker: —because everyone will be consumed. Everyone 
will become one, until the mosaic is complete, the puzzle 
has finished, and you and everyone in this building and 
in the world outside has known ecstasy and release. 

Until it is done. 


Cpl. Thornton: | see. If you have nothing additional to 
add, this interview is concluded. 


Baker: Until we meet again, Corporal. 


Addendum 2678.2: D-Class Testing Log 


Test Log: Manned Exploration 1A 
Date: 02/22/17 
Conducted by: Agent Terrance Shaw 


Foreword: Following activity and increasing reports of 
civilian casualties likely linked to SCP-2678, Site-42 
oversight approved D-class testing for SCP-2678-2, 
overseen by Site-42 personnel. D-38412 was equipped 
with a Class VI Hazardous Exposure Suit, as well as 
instrumentation to test certain properties of SCP-2678-2 
and navigational/communication equipment. 


Begin Log: 03:00:34 02/22/17 
Agent Shaw: D-38412, can you hear me? 
D-38412: Yes. 


Agent Shaw: Alright, can you describe your 
surroundings? 


D-38412: There's a giant, uh... looks like a church here- 
stained glass windows on either side of me, the floor is 
red stone, there are these pillars. The ceiling's bound to 
be- what, fifty feet up? Maybe more? It's really big. 


Agent Shaw: Alright. Can you hear anything? 


D-38412: This helmet's blocking some stuff out, but let 
me listen. 


(7-second pause) 


D-3841 2: It's quiet, but there's this low hum. Well, it's not 
really a hum, it's like... a groaning? This low groaning 
sound. Machinery? | can't be sure. Do you pick it up on 
the radio? 


Agent Shaw: Negative, we do not. 


D-38412: It's definitely there. Do you want me to keep 
walking? (pauses) | feel like | should keep walking. 


Agent Shaw: Affirmative, keep walking. Continue 
describing your surroundings. 


D-38412: Everything is in this red light. Reddish orange. 
Like there's red fog in the way of where I'm going, about 
20 feet — er, several meters — out. Yeah, this fog's not 
up above me - the ceiling's just stained glass, but | can't 
see out past it, the glass is too opaque. (pause) Yeah, 
low fog in-between the pillars and whatnot. The 
landscape outside, it's just... it's hard to see, but it looks 
broken? Things jutting up all over the place, crumbled 
buildings. A lot of red fog. 


Agent Shaw: What else do you see? 
(Interference and 10-second pause) 


D-38412: (distorted) -so hot. So hot. Is it just this suit 
doing it, do you think? 


Agent Shaw: We had some distortion there. Can you 
repeat that? 


D-3841 2: It's so hot in here. Unbelievably hot. Are you 
sure I'm not gonna- (distorted) 


(Interference and 6-second pause) 
Agent Shaw: Can you repeat that? 


D-38412: panting) -So hot. Bound to be over one-twenty 
in here. What happens if | take this suit off? 


Agent Shaw: That is not advised. Do not remove your 
suit. Describe what you see. 


D-38412: Yes, yes. Uh, there's- a- an opening here? 
There's this dip in the floor. Oh... 


Agent Shaw: A dip in the floor? Can you please 
describe further? 


D-38412: (distorted) -Supposed to go in. I- (laughter) | 
don't know how to phrase this. | feel a little hot. 


Agent Shaw: Right, you estimated the ambient 
temperature at one-twenty degrees Fahrenheit, correct? 


D-38412: Y-yeah. 
(Interference and 8-second pause) 


Agent Shaw: Acknowledged, just confirming. Please 
describe the indention in the floor. Is it composed of 
stone? How deep do you estimate it? Is the floor broken? 


D-38412: Not a dip, it's a hole, in the floor. This is it, this 
is where I'll be- (distorted) -satisfied, this is where | was 
supposed to end up. It looks so- so warm and wet in- in- 
not like out here, it's so burning hot, I'm so burning hot- 


Agent Shaw: Please make an effort to speak coherently 
and describe your surroundings objectively. Can you do 
that, D-38412? 


D-38412: The- the teeth. Well, not many teeth, just so 
much flesh. (5-second pause) Several meters down, 
there's the entrance, the- the orifice. Pink and fleshy, 
calm colors- (distorted) -like this, not like this awful red 
world up here. I'm so hot, I'm burning up, I- (unintelligible 
groaning) -go in? Am | supposed to go in? 


(7-second pause) 
Agent Shaw: Yes, go in. 


D-38412: Okay, okay, I'll- oh, okay, | just have to walk 
over the edge. Oh, God, okay, just walk over the edge. 
(unintelligible) -was what | was waiting for. 


(Heavy background noise and interference, 13-second 


pause) 
Agent Shaw: D-38412, can you hear me clearly? 


D-38412: Oh, | can hear you. (panting) This is- whoa, 
okay. This is okay. 


Agent Shaw: Please describe your surroundings again. 
Where are you? Did you fall? 


D-38412: |- I'm in the... I'm in its flesh, I'm inside it. It's 
wet- (grunting) Uh, can | take this suit off? (distorted) Oh, 
| really... really need to take this off- 


Agent Shaw: Negative, do not remove that suit. | repeat, 
do not remove your suit. If you do that, you will suffocate 
immediately. Do not interfere with your suit or your 
rebreather. Do you understand? 


D-38412: S-sure, I- (unintelligible) | just- I'm fucking 
surrounded here, it's all around me, I'm inside it. 


Agent Shaw: | understand. Continue. 


D-38412: (4-second pause) Oh, but it's- it's supposed to 
be inside me too. (laughter, unintelligible) You see, |- | 
have to take this off, | have to let its- fluids in here, into 
me. That's why | came in here. For release. 


Agent Shaw: Excuse me? Can you be a little clearer? 
Can you still hear me, over? 


D-38412: Oh, | can hear you, your- voice in my ear. Can 
you- can you- stop talking f-for a second or two? | don't 
really want to listen to you while I- (laughter, distorted) -| 
mean, not here for you, here for it. Them, us. | want to- 
I'm going to- 


(Distortion, heavy background noise, unintelligible 
vocalizations, 23-second pause) 


Agent Shaw: Are you there? Can you hear me, over? 


D-38412: (panting) I'm sorry you- had to hear that. 
(laughter) There's... this is so deep, it's all around me, 
it's leaking into my suit, it's burning my skin. (distorted) - 
is how | was supposed to end up, though, this- ends the 
pain, ends the heat, ends the itching, ends the- itch- 


(Unintelligible vocalizations) 
Agent Shaw: D-38412, do you read me, over? 


D-38412: (8-second pause) | hear you. | hear you. 
(panting) | can't- talk, | can't- find the words. It's- it's in 
me, it's on me, | feel it- pressing all around my body, it's 
squeezing my ribs and | can't feel my feet and (distorted) 
it's- (unintelligible) | feel it wrapping something between 
my legs, it's- pressing up inside- (unintelligible) 


Agent Shaw: Please describe as best you can the 
sensations you are experiencing, as well as your 
surroundings. 


D-38412: Oh, but it's dark. It's so dark. | can't tell if I'm- 
(laughter) alive or dead here, agent, | don't care. 
(groaning) Dark and wet and warm. | think about the 
other people that came here and they'll- (distorted) -the 
same thing. Where we're supposed to be. (panting, 
background noise) Oh, fuck, I'm gonna- come again, 
fuck- 


Agent Shaw: Noted, but we still have radio interference. 
Can you affirm the status of your suit for later research? 


(Unintelligible vocalizations, 13-second delay) 


D-38412: (laughter) Oh, already marking me as done for. 
| get it. (distorted) | get it. Suit's melted through, I'm 
naked, it's- burning my skin, tingling, but it's so warm. I'm 
bleeding. I'm bleeding. | don't care, this is where | was 
supposed to be, | don't care anymore. (distorted) -done, 
done, I'm almost there again, just let me be alone. 


Agent Shaw: Negative, do not end this transmission. 
Remain in contact until SCP-2678-2 compromises the 
radio equipment. Do you copy? 


D-38412: | copy, agent, and | (unintelligible) disagree 
with you. This isn't how we're supposed to become one. 
Not with you here and not with this- suit. | am meant to 
be bare. I'm taking this thing off, and I'm- (distorted) 
taking the helmet off too. | want to be alone with it fora 
while. 


Note: After the events transcribed in Addendum II, Foundation 
Officials studying the logs contacted members of MTF Lambda-12, a 
task force specifically designed to monitor sexuality-based 
anomalous activity. After discussion with Foundation psychologists, 
intervention by MTF Lambda-12 was authorized, and all further 
investigative action into activities within SCP-2678, as well as any 
SCP-2678-2 testing, is to be handled by that team. 


Addendum 2678.3: Unmanned Exploration Log 1B 


Billboard spotted by personnel. Cognitohazardous image was not 
captured by camera. Click to enlarge. 
Date: 02/24/17 


Conducted by: Agent Rogers, MTF Lambda-12 


Foreword: Following inconclusive D-class testing, MTF 
Lambda-12 personnel spent 2 weeks driving on 
Interstates 74 and 95 in North Carolina before an 
SCP-2678-1 instance was spotted on Highway 74/76 
near . The driver, Agent Rogers, was allowed to 
pull over the vehicle, but was restrained to the driver's 
seat in order to prevent him from reacting to 
SCP-2678-1's influence and leaving the vehicle. He 
instead piloted an unmanned drone through the woods 
by the side of the highway until the drone passed 
through a threshold within an abandoned building and 
into an SCP-2678 instance. 


PO 


SCP-305: The Whisperer 


Item #: SCP-305 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-305 is presently immobile. 
Site-305 has been constructed around its present location, a 
wooded canyon near [REDACTED], and is staffed by at least seven 
(7) personnel who have prior experience with SCP-305 and proved 
resistant to its effects. The remainder of the station crew should be 
rotated on a weekly basis. SCP-305’s effect grows weaker if human 
subjects are exposed to it for extended periods of time; therefore, a 
resistant subject should be exposed to it for at least three (3) hours 
daily. 


SCP-305’s effects are greatly magnified in individuals with feelings 
of guilt (particularly over crimes) or mental instability. Therefore, 
Site-305 is staffed exclusively by non-D-class researchers and 
agents who are screened for criminal records and mental instability. 
Any personnel who begin to hear whispered compliments must be 
transferred out immediately. If symptoms persist after removal, 
frontal lobotomy [DATA EXPUNGED] 


The actual containment chamber of SCP-305 is constructed of 
standard materials and offset from the rest of the station by a five (5) 
meter “buffer zone” to protect normal staff from the worst of 
SCP-305’s effects. 


Site-305 broadcasts a constant “status normal” signal to Site-19. If 
Site-305 becomes compromised during a containment breach, this 
signal will cease and a heavily armed containment team will 
immediately be dispatched to the location. 


Instances of SCP-305-1 are extremely dangerous and should be 
terminated on sight without attempting containment. 


13:47:30. Click to enlarge. 


<13:47:30> Drone approaches nearby wooded area. No 
anomalous activity detected. When asked to describe 
motivations for this course, Agent Rogers is unable to 
provide a suitable explanation. 


<13:47:59> Drone hesitates momentarily, adjusts course 
slightly. Agent Rogers is noted to begin to perspire. 


<13:48:16> Dilapidated structure is seen in background. 
Agent Rogers intakes breath sharply, begins to move 
drone towards the structure. Agent does not respond to 
questioning during this period. 


13:48:55. Click to enlarge. 


<13:50:09> Drone enters threshold and is within 
SCP-2678. Drone is transmitting audio and visual 
information in real-time to the task force's nearby mobile 
reconnaissance center. 


<13:52:45> Video feed shows drone descending into 
SCP-2678-2's aperture. 


<13:53:13> Drone descends fully into the orifice of 
SCP-2678-2. Audio feeds show low background noise in 
the 50-55 Hz range. Video feeds show that 
SCP-2678-2's interior is composed of a flesh-like 
substance, reddish in color, which is coated with a sheer, 
transparent liquid. The flesh-like material can be seen 
slowly pulsating. 


<13:53:55> Drone descends fully into SCP-2678-2's 
orifice. Rear-view camera shows that the outer orifice 
does not constrict around the drone, and light from the 
exterior can be seen illuminating the interior of 
SCP-2678-2. 


<13:54:40> The drone has proceeded roughly an 
additional 6 meters down SCP-2678-2's length; 


movement is restricted by the small diameter of 
SCP-2678-2's interior. Left- and right-side cameras are 
functioning, but do not transmit a clear picture due to the 
lack of space between their lenses and the walls of 
SCP-2678-2. Front-facing camera displays the same 
flesh-like material on all sides. 


<13:55:32> Front-facing camera displays a change in 
material; flesh-like substance is still present, but is 
overlayed with a matted meshwork of small tendrils, all of 
which are seen to be individually writhing. What appears 
to be blood and miscellaneous viscera is caked into 
some sections of the growths, and is restricting their 
movement. 


<13:56:20> Drone's attached pH meter reads a severely 
acidic 2.4, as opposed to the near-neutral 6.7 of 
SCP-2678-2's initial entrance. Front-facing camera 
shows that the drone has collided with a white object, 
appearing in later analysis of transmissions to be 
composed of bone, which is jutting out from the right side 
of SCP-2678-2's interior. In the area surrounding the 
visible base of the bone, it is seen that the flesh-like 
material is leaking a greenish substance, which is 
dripping in a direction that would be considered upward 
relative to the drone's position, thus indicating that 
SCP-2678-2's length has at some point doubled back on 
itself in the vertical direction. 


<13:58:19> Drone locomotive capabilities fail. It is noted 
that, while the drone appears to continue to move, it is 
only doing so as a result of the internal anatomy of the 
SCP-2678 entity. Agent Rogers begins hyperventilating. 
The agent is moved away from the mobile 
reconnaissance vehicle for a medical evaluation. 
Observation of the drone continues.
