Notes: "Not bad for a three-dollar smoke grenade. Although this 
wouldn't work so well in the field, the odds of the smoke reaching a 
dead body are just too high." 


Date: / / 
Test Subject: Prof. Snider 


Procedure: Two drops (1 microlitre each) of SCP-447, one in each 
of Prof. Snider's eyes (note that Prof. Snider has an astigmatism 
and normally wears corrective eyewear). 


Results: Vision was clear and focused for six hours, though Prof. 
Snider reported to now see everything in a green tint. Subject's 
eyesight soon returned to normal, though both eyes are now a much 
more brilliant green than before. 


Notes: "Oh well. | look better with my glasses anyway." -Prof. Snider 


and have him look around. Get him to 
investigate and learn what this place is like, 
who else is there, etc. Then, we will then use 
our newfound understanding of the Reaper to 
figure out how to contain him. Finally we'll... 
we'll do our job | guess. It's our Dammerung- 
Class Moby Dick after all. Except without the 
killing it part. 


Michaels finished training to use SCP-3448 a 
few days ago. Not sure how quickly he'll be 
able to adjust to being dead, which means that 
we don't know how long it'll be until he can 
actually talk to us right. But now's as good a 
time as any. Worst comes to worst, | love the 
guy, but he's already going to be dead. We 
just let the man rest in peace. 


Too bad we couldn't use a Class-D, but the 
higher-ups don't trust that they'll listen to 
orders. It's not like we could threaten 
termination. 


| caught Tony clearing out his quarters today. 
When | asked him how he was feeling he 
made some joke like “it’s not like it’s going to 
kill me twice”. And then he threw out a box of 
personal mementos, including that teddy bear | 
gave him at the Foundation Christmas gift 
exchange. He can’t be doing too well. But, 
then again, he’s probably as ready as he'll 
ever be. 


That teddy bear is now in my office. 
SCP-3448 Day 1 Imaging Results 


<08:30 — 09:00> Intense flashing and 
flickering. 


<09:00 — 09:05> Image to resembled rough 


seas. 


<09:05 — 12:05> Intense flashing and 
flickering. 


<12:05 — 12:48> Formed three hours after 
the previous image. Appears to be a humanoid 
figure surrounded by hundreds of insects. This 
continues for 43 minutes before the insects 
disperse; the now considerably swollen 
humanoid falls to the ground. 


<12:48 — 18:48> A shade of grey. 


<18:48 — 23:52> Appears to resemble the 
rough seas from the 08:30—09:00 image, 
however, the water is replaced with the insects 
from the 12:05—12:48 image. 


SCP-3448 Day 1 Lab Notes 


It's working. It's not going well, but it's working. 
God, what the hell was Tony thinking when he 
signed up for this shit? 


We knew that death was supposed to get 
worse and worse as it went. At least, that's 
how the recording described it. We thought 
that preserving the body would reduce some of 
the perception issues, but | don't think it’s 
working as well as we wanted. But it's just the 
first day. Our plan gives us ten days before we 
jump ship and move on to another subject. 


Also, we need to move Jared to a different 
station. He vomited all over the floor during his 
monitoring shift. | don't totally blame him, but 
he could've done the rest of us a favor by 
hobbling off to the bathroom faster. Hopefully 
Tony won't send back too many more visuals 
like that. 


SCP-3448 Day 2 Imaging Results 


<02:00 — 02:03> An emaciated man lying ina 
desert. There appears to be an oasis far in the 
background. 


<02:03 — 10:03> Static. 


<06:00 — 12:00> A man in the fetal position, 
laying in the corner of a room made of 
compacted dirt. Various bones and roots can 
be seen protruding from the walls. 


<12:00 — 18:00> Insect wings emerge from 
the walls and begin fluttering. 


SCP-3448 Day 2 Lab Notes 


Ok, looks like he's calmed down. Not entirely 
coherent, but it's something. We're going to 
see if we can talk to him tomorrow. | say talk 
but | really mean mess with his brain waves in 
a meaningful way. We know it works, but we 
have no clue what it actually feels like. Hard to 
get that sort of feedback from lab rats. 


But if these tests work we're onto something. 
We'll get him to start exploring | guess? | don't 
think that's the right word. Or maybe it is. We 
don't know if this is a place or a state of mind 
or what. The recording that O5-4 showed us 
makes it sound like he's still here, on earth. 
Just experiencing things in the most terrible 
way possible. I'm more picturing a hellscape 
aesthetic. 


SCP-3448 Day 3 Imaging Results 


<06:00 — 06:03> A caterpillar crawling up the 
trunk of a tree. 


<08:03 — 08:13> Leaves blowing in the wind. 
The direction of the breeze alternates rapidly, 
so the leaves appear to be waving. 


<09:13 — 09:15> The caterpillar from the 
06:00—06:03 image eats some of the leaves 
from the 08:083—08:13 image. 


<09:15 — 13:15> Various shades of red. 


<13:15 — 13:15> An emaciated man punches 
a wall. 


<15:15 — 15:29> Same scene from the 09:13 
—09:15 image, except the caterpillar has 
stopped eating, and the leaves have all been 
replaced by hands of the same size, which 
continue to wave in the wind. This continues 
for ten minutes until the wind stops. All hands 
except for one hang limply. The remaining 
hand makes an "ok" sign. The caterpillar 
begins to wrap itself in a cocoon. 


<19:29 — 21:03> The hands from the 
previous image move frantically to swat away 
insects. Insects do not resemble a single 
known species. They have stingers resembling 
those of bees, and legs resembling those of 
spiders. The caterpillar has fully formed its 
cocoon, and is undisturbed for the duration of 
the visual. 


SCP-3448 Day 3 Lab Notes 


He's finally becoming coherent, so thank god 
for that. | mean, | use coherent lightly. He's as 
together as a consciousness floating through 
space could ever be. He waved to say "Hi" (I 
think). So this is fine. 


In other news, | talked to Tony's sister, Joyce. 


Apparently she works in the biology 
department at Site-23. | didn't tell her about 
what's up with Tony, of course. But, | did 
manage to bring up insects. Apparently Tony 
has some sort of insectophobia, but it's not too 
bad that you'd call it a phobia. Like, they just 
freak him out. 


Either way, it makes for some interesting 
interpretations of Tony's visuals. | can't tell if 
SCP-3448-1 is full of bugs, or if it's full of 
whatever you're afraid of, or if that's just 
Tony's interpretation of it. I'm leaning toward 
the last option though. If anything because of 
an idealogical standpoint. Death being what 
you make of it sounds kind of poetic. Not that 
any of my "poetry" will show up in the formal 
report. 


| wonder what I'd see. 


SCP-3448 Day 4 Imaging Results 


<10:00 — 14:22> A man searches through a 
garden. It is unclear what he is looking for. The 
garden extends indefinitely in all directions, 
and exploration takes the man through large 
groves of daisies. For the majority of the trek, 
the man stays on a path outlined by two 
hedges that run alongside him. At one point 
the man stops, looks at a patch of daisies, and 
steps over the hedges toward the flowers. 
Image changes after his foot hits the ground. 


<14:22 — 17:22> Various shades of green 
and purple. 


<17:22 — 17:27> The man from the 10:00— 
14:22 image has uncovered some of the dirt, 
and stares into the ground with a look of awe 


and terror on his face. What the man is staring 
at is obscured by daisies. After three minutes, 
a thin, wrinkled hand is seen reaching into 
frame, and taps the man on the shoulder. 


<17:27 — 18:27> Static. 


<18:27 — 18:39> The man is standing behind 
behind the hedges now. A small girl is 
covering the patch of land with dirt using her 
hands. A large quantity of insects swarm 
around the girl. She appears content. It is 
unknown if the girl acknowledges the insects 
or not. The man's left hand appears to be 
swollen from stinging. 


<23:39 — 01:02> The man walks back 
through the garden the way he came in Image 
1. Left hand remains swollen. He is carrying a 
tulip in his right hand, which he looks at during 
the walk. No other individuals can be seen. 
After an hour and eight minutes, the man 
suddenly looks back over his shoulder, shrugs 
and continues walking. 


SCP-3448 Day 4 Lab Notes: 


Exploration started today. And by exploration | 
mean Tony actively figuring out how to convey 
this place to us. | don’t think it’s actually all 
flowers and sunshine. Luckily, he seems to be 
mostly coherent at this point. Although, | think 
his communication is still more cryptic than 
we'd like. I'll take it over how he acted a few 
days ago. 


We don’t know who the girl is. Can’t tell what 
she’s supposed to represent. Most of us think 
that she’s another person caught in this “half- 
dead” state, but we don’t have any 
confirmation. Although, on the off chance 


we're right, the higher ups started an operation 
to infiltrate the usual suspects (Cl, SH, GOC, 
etc.) to make sure none of them have beaten 
us to the punch. 


Assuming Tony understands us well enough, 
we're going to give him the go ahead to 
interact more with the girl and report back. 


SCP-3448 Day 5 Imaging Results: 


<05:00 — 05:20> A sky covered in gray 
clouds. No precipitation observed. 


<05:20 — 10:20 > Static. 


<10:20 — 10:30> A teddy bear, a stuffed 
animal crow, and a girl all sit around a table. 
The girl offers tea to both the teddy bear and 
the crow. Neither party reacts. She proceeds 
to pour tea for the two regardless. 


<10:30 — 13:30> A warm shade of yellow. 


<13:30 — 14:16> Same as the 10:20—10:30 
image except the teddy bear somehow has a 
grip on the tea cup, and the crow is facing the 
teddy bear. The girl appears to be conversing 
with the stuffed animals, despite their lack of 
responses. 


<14:16 — 15:16> A light shade of red. 


<15:16 — 15:38> Same as the 13:30—14:16 
image, except the crow has started to fall apart 
at the seams. Insects crawl out from between 
the stitching. Neither the teddy bear nor the girl 
appear to notice. 


<15:38 — 16:38> Flickering between dark red, 
and black. 


<16:38 — 16:44> Formed at 1600. Same as 
Image 4, except the insects have eaten parts 
of the teddy bear. The girl appears surprised 
and upset. After five minutes she glares at the 
stuffed crow, which is now mostly covered with 
insects. She then sets down her tea, and 
leaves. 


<19:44 — 20:04> A man in the corner of a 
room, curled into the fetal position. He rocks 
back and forth. His body appears to be swollen 
and covered from small insect bites. 


SCP-3448 Day 5 Lab Notes: 


| think half of our group is starting to get more 
and more uncomfortable with the creepy 
crawlies. | can only imagine what it’s like for 
Tony. We’re giving him a day to recuperate 
from whatever the hell today was. No 
exploration or interviews or whatever. 


In other news, we made some progress on the 
girl today. She looks almost identical to Tony’s 
younger sister Joyce from when she was eight. 
Key word — "almost". | can’t tell if it's Tony not 
quite getting the image back right, or if this 
thing actually just looks like Tony’s sister but 
with slightly elevated cheek bones and a 
slightly darker shade of brown in her hair. Or 
maybe that’s how Tony remembers his sister? 
Or maybe there’s just some kid out there who 
looks almost like her? 


Honestly, those details probably aren't super 
important. | bet tomorrow our "talk" with Tony 
will clear things up. 


Day 6 Imaging Results: 


<10:00 — 10:05> A man sitting with his back 


against a dirt wall. Plant roots and bones 
protrude from the wall and ceiling. The 
appears to be tired, and sweating. 


<12:05 — 12:08> A single question mark. 


<13:08 — 13:14> The man from the 10:00— 
10:05 image is holding a doll of a small girl, 
and a doll of a crow. He positions them next to 
each other, with the girl’s arm around the crow, 
and the crow’s wing around the girl. 


<14:14 — 14:14> The man shrugs. 


<23:00 — 23:13> The man is sitting with his 
back against the wall of the room again. After 
five minutes, his head jerks to look off screen. 
He quickly gets up and rushes out of the room 
through the opposite direction. After three 
minutes a swarm of insects enters the screen. 


<23:13 — 24:00> White. 

Day 6 Lab Notes: 

Shit. Shit shit shit. He’s fucked Damn it tony 
Fuck. 


Ok, ok. Breather. Sorry future me, | shouldn’t 
use these notes for venting. Luckily it won't 
show up in the formal report. 


Anyways. Tony was... well he didn’t learn 

much about the girl. At least not much that he 
told us. | think she’s friends with the bugs? Or 
with the crow thing at least. Or maybe they’re 
the same entity? They’re definitely connected. 


Now we're all waiting for Tony to get back to 
us. Luckily, we've got coffee. 


SCP-3448 Day 7 Imaging Results: 


<16:00 — 16:43> A man running through the 
garden of daisies. He appears to be limping 
slightly, and checks over his shoulder at 
regular intervals. 


<16:43 — 19:07> Flashing between bright red 
and black. 


SCP-3448 Day 7 Lab notes: 
That was it. He’s just... he’s just still running. 


We've been trying to think of something to help 
him. Jared floated the idea of sending him 
some bug spray. | know he was joking, 
because Jared can't help himself from bring a 
wise-ass when he's stressed out, but maybe 
he's onto something. Going to look into how to 
send Tony a care package tomorrow. 


SCP-3448 Day 8 Imaging Results: 


<02:00 — 02:43> A man is running through a 
garden. After thirty minutes, he passes by a 
girl, who appears to be planting something. He 
calls out to her. The girl turns around. She is 
planting another daisy. The man rushes to the 
girl, and takes her by the hand. The girl begins 
to say something, but is cut short as the man 
pulls her back to the path and resumes 
running. The newly planted daisy remains the 
focus of the image for another two minutes 
before it is overrun with insects. 


<02:43 — 10:56> White. 
SCP-3448 Day 8 Lab Notes: 


Ok, we've got something. It's a little out there. 
But it's all we've come up with. 


Notes (2): "This might be marketable as vision-correction, but 
people might notice the extra green. Regardless, I'd like to request a 
couple of litres of this stuff for personal use." - Agent Marr 


Date: / / 
Test Subject: 8 ounce (236 mL) glass of skim milk 


Procedure: Two (2) teaspoons (10 mL) of SCP-447 thoroughly 
stirred into milk. 


Results: Milk turned a bright green in color and was slightly thicker, 
with a slight minty flavor. Chemical analysis later indicated that the 
concoction was now lactose-free. 


Notes: "You know, we might be able to market this stuff. I'm pretty 
sure dead bodies don't drink milk." -Prof. Snider 


Date: / / 
Test Subject: 15 lbs. (6.8 kg) quick-dry cement 


Procedure: Cement powder and 5 gallons (19 liters) of SCP-447 
rotated inside a standard miniature cement mixer. 


Results: Mixture took on a green tinge and solidified to a hardness 
50% greater than normal concrete, though it took twice as long to 
dry. 


Notes: "It seems promising, but it's time-consuming to make and the 
risks of a dead body falling on a slab of this stuff is too high." -Prof. 
Snider 


Date: / / 
Test Subject: Two (2) cups of water (475 mL) 


Procedure: One (1) tablespoon (15 mL) of SCP-447-2 thoroughly 
stirred into water. 


Results: Water turned a green tint but is otherwise normal. 
Contaminants reduced by 78% 


So, Tony’s in a half-death state, right? But it’s 
not like this is a conventional afterlife deal. It 
was built around a more abstract, conceptual 
representation of death. So that means that, all 
“half-dead” things could end up there, right? 
Well, ok the dead things end up there too but 
we’re less sure what exactly that looks like.
