is assessed. Dr. is recovered and placed in 
medical bay with severe neurological 
complications and ruptured eardrums. 
Harkness is found unconscious in conference 
room with a non-lethal bullet wound in his 
shoulder. 


Audio Log 3545-001 


The following is an audio transcript of the 
interrogation of Sr. Researcher James A. 
Harkness and an unknown Chaos Insurgency 
member, referred to as POI-3545-06. 


[Sounds of struggle and gunfire can be heard] 


POI-3545-06: So here's how this is going to go 
down. I'm going to ask you some questions. If 
you don't answer, you die. | see your 
clearance level. | know you know what | want. 


Harkness: You'll have to do better than that. 


POI-3545-06: [laughing] You're a piece of 
work. 


[A loud thump, followed by a sharp groan] 


POI-3545-06: Let's start over. Mind if | smoke? 
Don't answer that. 


[Some rustling, and the flick of a lighter] 


POI-3545-06: My friends and | came for 
something. | Know you know about it. You're 
gonna tell me where it is. 


Harkness: You already got the glass, what 
more do you want? 


POI-3545-06: | want to go inside. 


Harkness: I'm sorry? You mean the ZKs? You 
don't need me for that. You have the numbers! 


POI-3545-06: How can you be so smart yet so 
dense? 


[Sr. Researcher Harkness howls in pain. Later 
medical intake reveals several cigarette burns 
on his upper arms and neck] 


Harkness: Shit fuck, what do you want? 
POI-3545-06: | told you, | want to go INSIDE. 


[Silence is recorded for several seconds] 


Harkness: You mean- 


POI-3545-06: Yes, | mean. Ever since 
absconded with that weapon, we have been 
biding our time. We just needed two more 
pieces to complete the puzzle, and one of 
them is right next door. The other you are 
going to lead me to. 


Harkness: You're crazy if you think I'll take 
you there. Even if | did know. Which | don't. 
Try an O5. 


POI-3545-06: [laughter] You really are a card. 
Don't play with me. 


Harkness: I'm not. | don't know, and I've never 
met anyone outside of Overwatch that does. 
Plus, you think that O5-4 is really going to let 
you use it? 


POI-3545-06: You just leave four to us. All | 
need is a site number. 


Harkness: Then you're shit out of luck. 


[Rapid gunfire is heard. Several screams 
follow.] 


Harkness: Sounds like you're running out of 
time. 


[Another smack, another groan] 


POI-3545-06: It doesn't matter. Even if | kill 
you now, we will find someone who cracks 
first. It's only a matter of time. 


[POI-3545-06 is heard cocking his sidearm.] 


POI-3545-06: Let's see if you're the same 
smart-ass you are now without your lower jaw. 


[A handheld radio on POI-3545-06's person 
speaks. The identity of the individual is not 
known. ] 


rest are evac, meet [indecipherable] klicks 
south, your ride will be waiting for you. 


POI-3545-06: Copy that. Well, Harky, | guess 
this is goodbye. 


[Gunshot, and a scream. Audio records steps 
and distant gunshots. Explosion is heard 
approximately one minute later. Audio ends.] 


And so there lies the holes, ripping the fabric of all. The 
puncture wounds of spacetime, the errors, the gaps in 
the code. Whatever you name it, those places you'll 
never go are only but one thing: a true vacuum. Free 
from reality, from anything that could ever be. 


Still, those who plan to pass behind the curtain and 
glimpse the true lack-of-being of a ZK-Class Scenario 
will find that it is not like one would expect. We all 
thought it was emptiness, void. A place where nothing 
could stand because nothing is. The truth, however, is 
much more disturbing. 


It revealed itself to us just after we found how to traverse 
them. Hundreds of tests with that goblet. So many 
wasted minds. We wanted to take some measurements, 
see just how far reality was bending in this thing. Our 
counters measured the Hume field and found it 
astronomically low, even more so than some of the more 
notable exceptions. 


When we sent them in there, it was the same. But the 
second the world started to unravel, our sensors went 
haywire. It spiked unlike anything | have ever seen. 


The truth, as it turns out, is that it is not just an empty 
world. It's a blank canvas. A fresh start for the universe. 
All that system needs is to have something introduced 
into it. Not just anything, but a mind. A mind that creates 
its own reality. 


Like the ancient texts, the Upanishads, say, 'We are like 
the dreamer, who dreams, and lives inside the dream.’ 


And yet, that isn't even the worst part. 

[INPUT LEVEL 5 SECURITY CREDENTIALS] 
Item#: SCP-3545 

Object Class: Euclid/Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Testing with 
SCP-3545 is currently suspended indefinitely. Individuals 
who utilize or have utilized SCP-3545 are to be supplied 
amnestics and monitored. Existing instances of 
SCP-3545-1 are to be cordoned off permanently using 
standard protocol most suited for the location. As of this 
moment, there are over 1,094 sites of interest that 
contain SCP-3545-1 instances. The location of 
SCP-3545 is currently known only to the O5 council. 


Description: SCP-3545 is the designation for an antique 
crystal drinking glass of unknown origin. The glass bears 
no identifying marks or artist etchings and is made of 
non-anomalous material. 


When an individual or individuals maintain eye contact 
with SCP-3545 and concentrate on the object. it will 
begin to fill with a black liquid of unknown composition. 
During this process, the liquid is unable to be accessed. 
Individuals filling item are subject to detrimental 
neurodegenerative illness, the strength of which is 
compounded the longer individuals interact with the item. 


After several minutes of sustained concentration, 


SCP-3545 will fill completely and its contents can be 
accessed via ingestion and a few rare esoteric items, 
including [DATA PURGED PER 05 REQUEST]. 


Upon ingestion, subjects will become instantaneously 
aware of two four-vector coordinates in spacetime. 
These coordinates refer to the location and initial time of 
the manifestation of a ZK-Class Reality Failure Scenario, 
referred to as SCP-3545-1. 


After the initial manifestation time, instances will 
disappear from our reality, only to resurface every days 
during the same time. It has been determined that use of 
SCP-3545 causes these manifestations, and does not 
simply indicate their location. 


During the SCP-3545-1 instance, any individual who 
passes through the boundaries and exits the other side 
will experience the ZK-Class Scenario as a manifestation 
of their own subconscious. In this right, individuals inside 
SCP-3545-1 become temporary high-level reality 
benders, but have little control over how the Event 
develops. The experience is described as "dream-like" 
and may or may not involve memories of those affected. 
Unlike previously hypothesized, the occurrence is not 
hallucinogenic by nature, but a corporeal, alternate form 
of reality. Electroencephalography tests taken on 
affected individuals reveal absolutely no change from 
baseline brainwaves, aside from natural reactions to 
what they experience. 


Containment and correction of SCP-3545-1 instances is 
considered a top priority. Experimental reality anchors/ 
stabilizers are currently in development for use of 
correcting abnormal Hume fields in SCP-3545-1. 


Good luck with that. I've seen the tech, it's 
good stuff. If it were anything else, | would 
have higher hopes. It won't work though. Try 
as you may, the holes are here, perforating our 
existence. 


Only the dreamer has control over the dream. 
Even then, they'd have to be lucid. 


It does make you wonder though, doesn't it? 
About us, and the rest of this god-forsaken 
universe. 


We are like the dreamer. And one day, our 
Dreamer will wake. They will wake and our 
world will melt away. Only this time, none of us 
will be on the outside. There will be no curtain 
to pull back. No canvas to paint. 


It will be only the Dreamer and his world. Not 
ours. 


flame. SCP-457's actual composition is unknown, and has proven to 
be invisible and undetectable by any known means, but is shaped 
out by the flames it produces, often assuming a human-like form if 
given sufficient fuel to assume that size. SCP-457's most 
rudimentary form appears to be that of a single flame, comparable in 
size to that of a matchstick. In this form, SCP-457 possesses only 
the simplest of directives and shows no signs of being unusual 
compared to any other flame beyond a penchant for suddenly 
flickering to burn human hands, and the ability to 'jump' to more 
flammable materials or other flames, which it then assimilates into 
its total form. 


As SCP-457 grows larger, it is able to assume more complex 
shapes, and its intelligence grows with size and fuel sources. 
SCP-457's method of intelligence is unknown, but upon reaching an 
approximately human size, SCP-457 almost always assumes a 
human-like form surrounded by and composed of flames. SCP-457 
has been observed to communicate through writing letters out of its 
own flames, charring them onto the wall or other surfaces, and more 
rarely through speech, created via high-pressure, superheated air 
and the crackling and pops of flames. Once SCP-457 reaches an 
unknown threshold of size and fuel source, SCP-457 splits into two 
beings, and so on so forth. However, multiple beings of SCP-457 
are aggressive towards each other, and will either attempt to 
consume or extinguish their doubles, especially if there is only a 
limited amount of fuel at hand. 


SCP-457's behavior is largely predictable, as its goals are simply to 
acquire larger sources of fuel and to spread. The danger of 
SCP-457 comes from its ability to increase intelligence with size, 
and apparent ability to learn and mimic behaviors. This has lead to it 
purposely damaging and sabotaging sprinkler systems and, in rare 
circumstances, set up relatively complex traps. It has also attempted 
to trick or reason with personnel to be released or have access to 
more fuel. Due to SCP-457's unique composition, variable 
intelligence, and uncooperative nature, its psychology may not be 
accurately determined in accordance with any human analogy. 


SCP-457 was recovered in ; in the summer of 2007, after 
multiple wildfires were attributed to it. It is unknown where or how 


SCP-3547: A Dream of Our Beloved 


Item #: SCP-3547 
Object Class: Euclid Urgent reclassification required. 


Special Containment Procedures: No longer contained. All 
Foundation resources should be concentrated on recontainment of 
SCP-3547 at the highest priority. 


+ ARCHIVED CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES 


SCP-3547-A is kept in standard, sealed storage 
container at Site-11. It is considered to be safe so long 
as it is not in active use. Access is limited to level 4 
personnel and above. While SCP-3547-A presents an 
anomalous effect when in use, it is harmless so long as it 
remains inactive. 


SCP-3547-A is now held in a maximum security storage 
unit at Site-19. Due to the incident described in 
Experiment Log 3547-4, access to staff of all levels is 
denied, and all experimentation regarding SCP-3547-A is 
forbidden. The use of SCP-3547-A could theoretically 
cause a AW-class eclipse-of-consciousness scenario. 


SCP-3547 itself is currently prevented from entering this 
universe, so can be regarded as indefinitely contained. 


Description: SCP-3547 is a potentially sapient, interdimensional 
entity that has the ability to contact human subjects via their 
subconscious during delta wave non-REM sleep, so long as the 
subject has been made aware of the existence of it beforehand, and 
they wish to communicate with it of their own free will. Subjects who 
claim to have communicated with SCP-3547 during this dreamlike 
state describe it as a large, vaguely humanoid mass of strands of an 
unknown composition suspended within a dark, blue/green void. 


Subjects report feeling nauseous when looking at SCP-3547, but felt 
compelled to continue looking nonetheless. Those who dream of 
SCP-3547 describe its communication as thoughts and feelings that 
manifest in their mind spontaneously. After multiple encounters with 
SCP-3547, subjects will speak about it with profuse positivity and 
religious fervour, claiming that bringing it into our universe would 
"save" all of humanity, although the specifics of this remain vague. 
All subjects tested stated that they believed the entity wanted to 
come closer to them and embrace them, but it was apprehensive for 
unknown reasons. 


SCP-3547 is referenced in a collection of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts 
written around the 9th century, which were bound into a single tome 
at a later, unknown date. The title of the collection is “geméetap sé 
frea'wine”, which roughly translates to “Dreams of Our Beloved”. 
The book is currently stored in the secure document storage facility 
at Site-11. 


The collection features several poems describing SCP-3547 as a 
“saviour” of the authors of the texts. One poem is an instruction on 
how to construct an item called “The Lucid Crown”. The poem goes 
on to explain that the coronet facilitates the communication with 
SCP-3547, and that the “audience with our beloved” can be shared 
if “another sleeps awake with the wearer of the crown”. It can be 
assumed that this is referring to the effects of the electromagnetic 
field produced by The Lucid Crown. It is unclear whether the authors 
of the texts constructed The Lucid Crown themselves or recovered it 
from elsewhere. 


SCP-3547-A is an ornate but roughly constructed coronet matching 
the description of The Lucid Crown. It is made of copper, featuring 
eight iridescent blue stones of unknown composition equally spaced 
around the perimeter. The stones protrude inwards through the 
coronet so that they make contact with the wearer's head. 


If a subject who is aware of SCP-3547 sleeps while wearing 
SCP-3547-A, their encounter with SCP-3547 becomes far more 
vivid and lucid. All test subjects reported that they believed 
SCP-3547 felt far more comfortable approaching them in this 
encounter, with some reporting that SCP-3547 was apparently bold 
enough to reach toward them and lightly stroke their head. While the 


subject is asleep wearing SCP-3547-A, the stones surrounding it 
emit an anomalous electromagnetic field at a frequency outside the 
range measurable by standard equipment, which causes anyone in 
range to instantly enter Stage 3 Non-REM sleep (See Experiment 
Log 3547-2). Anyone affected by this field will share the dream of 
the wearer of SCP-3547-A. The range of this field is approximately 
1m variable. (see Experiment Log 3547-4). 


One passage of note from "Dreams of Our Beloved" describes a 
procedure that was explained to the author by SCP-3547 during a 
dream. The procedure appears to be a ceremony designed to allow 
SCP-3547 to enter our universe permanently as a corporeal 
manifestation. To perform the ceremony, a volunteer must wilfully 
wear SCP-3547-A while sleeping outdoors, and have it struck by 
lightning whilst communing with SCP-3547. The manner in which 
the entity manifests in our universe is not described. No mention of 
success or failure to perform this ceremony is recorded in the 
collection. The low probability of a precise lightning strike on the 
coronet suggests that successful completion of the ceremony is 
unlikely.
