Dr. : What is the chocolate of 
transference? 


SCP-3974-B: It is an esoteric secret of the 
chocolate realm. Through vigorous study and 
devotion, | was able to unlock its secrets. 
When another mortal consumes it, he is 
infused by the essence of the one who crafted 
it. 


Dr. :And ? 


SCP-3974-B: There's nothing left of his 
consciousness in this form. 


Dr. : So he's dead? 


SCP-3974-B: Don't be so small minded, 
although | doubt if you can help it. | set him 
free, as a martyr. He was a worthy sacrifice to 
usher in a new age of wisdom and prosperity. 
Before this, my body was dying. Doctors like 
you couldn't cure me. So | turned my back on 
your forms of science. Science which couldn't 
cure my father either, nor his father. | was 
determined to change my fate. Chocolate was 
my remedy. But | needed more time. | needed 
more time to decipher the message of the 
chocolate gods, to save us all. So | transferred 
my consciousness into this body. 


Dr. : And the other children? Are you 
responsible for converting their bodies into 
chocolate? 


SCP-3974-B: Ah, the children, yes. You stole 
them from my place of residence, didn't you? 
Not a very wise move. Their conditions hadn't 
properly stabilized yet, you know? | returned to 
acquire them, but when | arrived, your people 
were waiting for me. | can only assume that 
you are experiencing some difficulty in keeping 
the children stable. Tell me. How are you 
handling the melting? Don't tell me you haven't 
figured out how to stop it. | can help them, if 
you let me treat them. | still require them for 
the next phase of the grand design. 


Dr. : Request denied. Answer the 
question. 


SCP-3974-B: How cold of you. Very well. | 
shall enlighten you. Yes, | am responsible for 
their current state. To you, it may seem like | 
used them as lab rats. But they will be 
rewarded by the chocolate gods for their 
hardship. Like me, | intend for them to be so 
much more. They do not know it yet, but they 


individual with no initial leads, it is stressed that killing SCP-515 is 
never an acceptable course of action. 


Addendum 515-01 On a number of occasions, SCP-515 has been 
freed from his restraints by unknown means. No physical presence 
has been seen to cause this, and the restraints themselves have 
only ever looked as though they remained untouched during these 
occurrences. Because of this, it is yet uncertain whether it is his own 
doing that he escapes, or that an outside force is interfering without 
being noticed. If this occurs, all available resources at Site- must 
be directed toward SCP-515's location, recovery, and placement 
into enclosure. 


Addendum 515-02 The designation of SCP-515 was formerly given 
to a middle-aged woman from , Guatemala, with a condition 
identical to that of the current designee. She, too, was found with no 
personal history and with no connection to any people in the 
surrounding area, despite having lived in a small and closely-knit 
community. After the realization of her connection with SCP-515-1 
and her coming into care of the Foundation, both a tight-fitting full- 
body cast and the routine breaking of the legs, arms, and neck were 
used to prevent the subject from moving; both she and the present 
SCP-515 have been known to escape confinement, including such a 
cast, so Keeping major bones broken was used as a method of 
keeping movements slow when such events transpired. However, 
on / /19 , complications from a pair of shattered vertebrae proved 
fatal. SCP-515-1 was noted to have stopped moving after this 
occurrence, and after several months without any change the 
Foundation presumed the matter closed. 


On / /19 , motion of SCP-515-1 restarted. A thorough search 
returned the result of the current designee after twenty-two days; he 
was taken into custody immediately and subjected to revised 
containment policies that prevented the breaking of the neck. 
SCP-515-1 had moved a total distance of km from the start of 
the search to its finish, and has moved an estimated = km during 
his stay at the Foundation. 


Due to the motion caused by SCP-515's respiration, the Foundation 
continues to allocate resources toward finding an efficient manner of 
neutralizing the threat presented by the potential impact of 


are instrumental in the arrival of the chocolate 
gods. 


Dr. : In what way? 


SCP-3974-B: They are needed for the 
summoning ritual. It will be a glorious sight, 
doctor. But the children are not yet ready. | 
trust that you are treating them well. 


Dr. : We'll leave that for a later interview, 
then. Explain the nature of the pathogen you 
carry. What do you know about it? 


SCP-3974-B: It's the message, and I'd prefer it 
if you refer it it as such. 


Dr. : Explain it in detail. 


SCP-3974-B: One must experience it to 
understand. If you are worthy, all shall be 
made known to you. If you are righteous, you 
have nothing to fear. Thousands of years ago, 
the chocolate gods breached the veil between 
our two realms, and taught the ancients the 
way of chocolate making. However, over time, 
we grew to be independent of them, and their 
presence in our realm waned. We forgot that 
they were once real. Many forgot them 
altogether. Now, they wish to return, and 
through the message it shall be made 
possible. Chocolate is, in itself, a divine 
blessing. Why do you think the scientific name 
for the cacao tree means "food of the deities"? 


Dr. : How and when were you infected? 


SCP-3974-B: Infected? (laughs) Do not 
proceed to insult me, doctor. | am not a sick 
man. Not anymore. | was saved. | have been 
blessed. When | stepped into the chocolate 


realm, | was given this message to spread to 
all of humanity, on behalf of the chocolate 
gods. This 'pathogen’, as you call it, is alive. 
And | have been given authority over it, as the 
harbinger of the truth. It exists as a means for 
our species to transcend our mortal forms, and 
become one with the chocolate realm. 


Dr. : We'll end the interview here. 


SCP-3974-B: You cannot contain the 
chocolate gods. I've already broken the barrier 
when | stepped through the other side. It is 
only a matter of time. Repent, doctor. Repent, 
for they are harsh to the sinners. Eat the 
chocolate of repentance, and accept my 
message. The great reckoning is nigh- 


(Dr. deactivates the microphone within the 
containment chamber.) 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Dr. proposes that 
additional security measures are taken in the 
containment of the object. Psychiatric 
evaluation of SCP-3974-B has also been 
suggested. 


+ Interview Log 3974-3 
Interviewed: SCP-3974-B 
Interviewer: Dr. 


Foreword: Dr. _requested an interview with 
SCP-3974-B to gain information into methods 
of reversing SCP-3974-A infection, as well as 
the condition affecting SCP-3974 instances. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. : Good day, SCP-3974-B. Are you 
comfortable? 


SCP-3974-B: Not in the least. 
Dr. +: Good. 


SCP-3974-B: My, you're particularly 
acrimonious. 


Dr. :|'mhere to ask you some questions 
regarding the children. You mentioned that you 
are responsible for their condition? 


SCP-3974-B: Yes, and they can thank me 
once the chocolate gods have returned. 


Dr. : Thank you? Do you know that because 
of you, they are going to spend their lives 
surrounded by four walls? They'll never be 
able to feel the warmth of human touch. Do 
you realize that one of them almost tried to 
kill... itself? 


SCP-3974-B: You had better not let any harm 
come to them. They are needed for the ritual. 
And for your information, they will have 
salvation- 


Dr. : Enough. | can't stand the fact that 
you're masquerading in that poor boy's skin. 
How do we reverse the process? How do we 
cure the children? 


SCP-3974-B: Oh, doctor, you can't cure what 
was never sick. 


Dr. _: Listen, you- 
Dr. : That's enough. This interview is over. 


SCP-3974-B: Doctor, please calm down. If you 


need to relieve your stress, I'll have you know 
chocolate has some very positive effects on 
the mind- 


(Dr. deactivates the microphone within the 
containment chamber.) 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: The interview was 
terminated, due to Dr. _‘'s noticeably 
heightened emotional state. 


Dr. was decided to be unsuitable to be assigned to 
SCP-3974 research, and was transferred to another 
project. 


Additional Comments: 


Yes, | was upset, but can you blame me? 
Those instances are only children. | know that 
they're anomalous now, and dangerous to 
handle, but they were and still are children. 
They're scared, and their lives will never be 
the same. Blood samples, researchers in 
hazmat suits, being dehumanized. Look, | 
have a daughter around the same age as -1. lt 
was her birthday recently. You know how it is. 
Presents, friends, cake. All the while | was 
thinking about SCP-3974. -1, -2, -3, and -4. 
They'll never have that again. And it's because 
of that madman. 


What else can | say? Imagine if something like 
that happened to your kid. What would you 
do? It was a bit better when we could use their 
actual names, but this is just too much. | was 
trained to study viruses, not to treat children 
like objects. 


| Know I'm going to be reassigned to another 


project. It's for the better. | can't keep doing 
this to those children. | can't sleep knowing 
that there's nothing | can do. Just promise me 
that the instances will be decently taken care 
of. | don't know, it can't hurt to give them some 
children's books, or video games, or 
something. Make sure that madman never 
hurts another child again.

+ Interview Log 3974-4 
Interviewed: SCP-3974-B 
Interviewer: Dr. 


Foreword: As of / /19 , the physical health 
of SCP-3974-B appeared to decline steadily 
for unknown reasons. The object was 
observed to regularly vomit a substance 
identical to chocolate. The interview was 
conducted to determine if the object required 
medical attention, or if it was feigning illness. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-3974-B: Joyous days. Joyous days are 
here at last, doctor. 


Dr. : How are you feeling, SCP-3974-B? 
SCP-3974-B: Fine. More than fine, actually. 


Dr. : Your physical health appears to be in 
decline. 


SCP-3974-B: Revelation. | have received a 
divine revelation from the chocolate realm. 
They showed me a great vision while | 
dreamed. My lords have not forsaken me. 


Dr. : We believe you are not well. Would 
you agree with our judgement? 


SCP-3974-B: No, doctor, your judgement is 
bogus. There is only the chocolate truth. | saw 
a great vision. The reckoning is nigh. | was 
standing atop a mountain, with the four 
sacrifices. They were so beautiful. And there it 
was! The heavens were torn asunder, and a 
torrent of chocolate poured forth! Marvelous! 
The chocolate gods are graceful, beautiful, but 
also wrathful. | called down the mountain to all 
the people, scrambling like frightened sheep. 
Repent, you sinners! Repent! Eat the 
chocolate of repentance so your souls may be 
saved! The great flood brought magnificent 
destruction. Those poor fools. Why didn't they 
listen? There is no defying the chocolate gods. 
In the end, divine destiny prevailed upon the 
earth. We were all absorbed into the 
harmonious unity of the chocolate realm. Soon 
| will be free, doctor. | must fulfill my place in 
this divine plan. 


Dr. : Are you threatening a containment 
breach? 


SCP-3974-B: You shall see. Listen, doctor, 
I've tolerated you lot for long enough, but | 
think this may be the last time you and | speak 
with each other in this mortal plane. (object is 
observed to vomit) You have transgressed 
against the messenger of the chocolate gods, 
and thus committed a grave sin. Repent now, 
sinner, or face a terrible judgement. 


Dr. : ls that a threat, or do you believe you 
are about to expire early? 


SCP-3974-B: Both. But it's not me that's about 
to ‘expire early’. | wasn't ready to die all those 


years ago, when people like you told me | 
couldn't be cured. And I'm not even close to 
dying now. I'll let you in on a little secret, 
doctor. You know that chocolate of 
transference | fed to the child? | have more. 
And | have followers. When the time is right, 
my most devoted acolyte will consume the- 
(object coughs violently, and vomits a large 
volume of chocolate). He will consume it. And | 
will be reborn. Freed from this prison, just as 
Peter was in the Bible. (laughs) Although, that 
isn't exactly to my taste. Personally, | prefer 
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 


Dr. : The object appears unstable, alert the 
medical team. Prepare tranquilizers. 


SCP-3974-B: This is where we part ways, 
doctor. But | will return for the children. For 
now, | leave a representative of the chocolate 
realm with you, an incarnation of the living 
message. They told me | would die. They 
could not cure me. | told them chocolate was 
my life, and as long as there is chocolate | will 
continue to live. | am the carrier of the 
message. It is my mission to save all those 
people from the wrath of the chocolate gods. | 
will feed them the chocolate of salvation and 
protect them with my essence. | am the living 
message, and this is a taste of the wrath of the 
chocolate gods. 


(SCP-3974-B collapses and convulses 
violently.) 


Dr. : Get a medical team in here! 


(Through security footage, SCP-3974-B is 
observed to vomit an anomalously large 
volume of chocolate and blood.) 


Dr. : God damn it! Medical team, get in 
here! 


(The stomach of SCP-3974-B ruptures [DATA 
EXPUNGED}], and an entity emerges. The 
entity is much larger than what could possibly 
be contained within the abdominal cavity of 
SCP-3974-B.) 


Dr. : Security! 


SCP-3974-B: Holy, holy, holy, are the 
denizens of the chocolate realm [inaudible] 
(the object expires, and its remains are 
observed to dissolve into chocolate, and are 
absorbed by the entity.) 


<End Log> 
+ Incident 3974-3C 


The entity originating from SCP-3974-B is described to 
be composed of chocolate, resembling no known 
terrestrial organism. Additionally, it was capable of 
spreading SCP-3974-A infection, and exhibited hostility 
towards personnel. It appears as an asymmetrical mass 
of tentacles extending from a main structure, 
approximately 8 m in length. The organism possesses a 
feeding orifice, appearing as a jaw-less, funnel-shaped 
opening. Observations indicate that the entity is 
carnivorous, believed to utilize the infection caused by 
SCP-3974-A to pre-digest its targets, before absorbing 
the substance produced. No sensory organs pertaining 
to sight are visible on the organism, suggesting 
adaptation to an environment without light. Attempts to 
injure the organism caused it to emit high pitched 
shrieks, that inflicted intense pain in human subjects in 
its vicinity. 


The entity breached containment, through use of applied 
force against the interior of the containment chamber, 


shortly after the events of Interview 3974-2. The entity 
resisted attempts to incapacitate it by use of firearms, 
allowing it to resist containment, and terminate on-site 
personnel, including Dr. . The entity was successfully 
neutralized by sustained use of flamethrowers, by a 
security team equipped with ear protection. 


No further study of the entity was feasible as its remains 
were heavily damaged and disfigured. Furthermore, it 
completely dissolved within minutes of expiring. It was 
subsequently incinerated, and most of the area of the 
site was decontaminated from SCP-3974-A. 


Review of security footage, and reports from personnel, 
suggest that the organism was attempting to reach the 
area containing SCP-3974 instances -1 to -4, although 
this cannot be confirmed. 


Addendum 3974-4a: For more information regarding an additional 
anomalous event connected to SCP-3974, personnel with 
appropriate clearance levels may consult documentation for 
SCP-3409.
