Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP 


A letter from Cain 

My work for the team was probably the most time consuming, not 
because my writing posed any more challenge than the others, but 
because | made and make sure that A Darke Tale is as historically 
accurate as possible. This meant rereading an entire textbook, as 


Item: SCP-017 


Tissue Test Record: 
Sample “swallowed” by SCP-017 without incident. 


Termination Test Record: 

SCP-682 exposed to SCP-017. SCP-682 issues several sounds at 
extremely high volume, damaging several recording devices. Sound 
extends across several wavelengths, reported as “the most god- 
awful roar” by staff. SCP-017 appears to stumble, then return to a 
far corner of the containment area. SCP-682 attempts to break 
containment of both SCP-682 and SCP-017. SCP-682 suppressed 
by Agents, and removed. SCP-682 states, “You foul bags of tissue; 
you don’t [DATA EXPUNGED]” 


Notes: It is unclear if SCP-682 somehow damaged SCP-017, or 
communicated with it. Analysis of the recorded sound is ongoing. 


Item: SCP-162 


Tissue Test Record: 
Sample entangled without incident 


Termination Test Record: 

SCP-682 exposed to SCP-162. SCP-682 begins thrashing violently, 
emitting several roaring sounds and issuing profanity directed at 
testing staff. SCP-682 becomes entangled with SCP-162, primarily 
in the lower body, head, and left forelimb. Entangled areas undergo 
massive trauma due to SCP-682 thrashing. After four minutes of 
continued exposure, SCP-682 lunges away from SCP-162, severing 
its lower jaw and left hind limb, and causing serious tissue damage 
to many areas of its body. SCP-162 remains attached to the left 
forelimb of SCP-682. SCP-682 breaks containment, using SCP-162 
against several Agents, staff, and researchers, resulting in eleven 
deaths and eighty-six injuries. Forelimb and SCP-162 removed from 
SCP-682 during re-establishment of containment. Two additional 
deaths occurred during the recontainment of SCP-162. 


Note: General has requested that Mr. Noaqiyeum and the 


well as any documents and articles that helped me shape characters 
and events that | focused on in the story. | was very fortunate to 
have a former teacher of mine assist me more than once, and send 
me advice and articles for my research. Heavy collaboration with 
Randomini was paramount, as our stories were designed to exist in 
the same universe. 


While | don’t intend to open up writing in the Darke Tale saga to 
others, | would encourage you to follow my steps if you mean to 
write something in the same vein. After you’ve sculpted an idea, do 
your research. Know what you'll need to know, and read as much as 
you can about it. This may continue to shape your plans, and if not, 
will certainly help you when you put pen to paper. Then create an 
outline. Randomini was better about this than | was. This outline 
won't be seen by many people, and it won’t be rated by anyone, so 
this is the least rewarding part of the process. It’s also the most 
important, because it will give you a path to follow. You’re not blindly 
groping in the Darke for a plot. You've got a skeleton to work 
through, and that you can refer to. After that, you start knocking out 
your stories, which is a process as subjective and intuitive as you 
can imagine. 


But a note on outlining a historical fiction story arc, about MC&D, 
Darke, Dark, the Horizon Initiative, or even those boring grey 
Russian groupies. As | do it, I’m working through the American 
history textbook Enduring Vision. Chapter after chapter, line by line 
of history and minutiae (and minutiae and minutiae — it’s a thorough 
book). | read, and | think, and | consider and reconsider. How does 
this factor into what | need to accomplish with Percival Darke? 
Where do | need him to be and when, for what reason, and what can 
| say, what commentary can | provide from the perspective of what 
characters, and what’s too much? It goes on, and makes reading a 
very slow, if satisfying process. Each chapter | think through with 
consideration to what’s happened and what | know will happen in 
history. This | use to put down a few lines of synopsis for each tale 
that needs to be put down. | only break them down by what | think is 
an appropriate amount of content, and title them based on that. 
Eventually | have a series. Then | can begin to write from beginning 
to end (or however — another great thing about writing with a rubric 
is that it also allows you to move around and put pins in the stories 


you're not sure about yet) with distinct accomplishment. | know 
Randomini has some magic logarithm he uses to number his tales 
and acts per series with the intention of dethroning Roget as You- 
See-Where-|’m-Going-With-This-Joke, but | don’t recommend this 
method. It makes it necessary to fill a quota of plot for each tale and 
may be difficult to pull off by more novice writers. There’s also a 
greater chance of snagging yourself in the story. Most of you will 
write a story arc the same way that | do, by fitting tales in where they 
feel like they belong. 


A letter from Randomini 

My work for the team was probably the most time consuming, not 
because my writing posed any more challenge than the others, but 
because | had to write twenty nine fucking tales. This meant writing 
an entire book, as well as any intermissions and articles that helped 
me shape characters and events that | focused on in the story. 
Heavy collaboration with Cain was paramount, as our stories were 
designed to exist in the same universe and that guy basically needs 
his hand held every step of the way. 


While | don’t intend to open up writing in the Wills and Ways saga to 
others, | would encourage you to follow my steps if you mean to 
write something in the same vein. After you’ve sculpted an idea, 
forget about it and just bullshit. Don't learn anything, don't plan 
anything, just write some bullshit and it will probably be fine. This 
may continue to shape your plans, and if not, will certainly help you 
when you put pen to paper. Then create an outline, and then throw it 
away, because forward planning is for chumps. It won’t be rated by 
anyone, so why bother? It’s the least important, as it restricts you to 
a thin, confined storyline with no flexibility. You’re stuck with a path 
that could lead you off the edge of a cliff. Be like a long reed: 
flexible, bending to the wind, and also photosynthesize. After that, 
you start knocking out your stories, which is the least rewarding part 
of the process. 


But a note on outlining an urban fantasy story arc, about MC&D, 
Darke, Dark, the Horizon Initiative, or even those boring grey 
Russian groupies. As | do it, I’m basically bullshitting the whole thing 
without a goddamn clue. Any time | need to know something, | look 
it up on Wikipedia, so it is almost always wrong. Often | use Google 


Translate and do some stupid language bullshit. How does this 
factor into what | need to accomplish with Iris Dark? Where do | 
need her to be and when, for what reason, and what can | say, what 
commentary can | provide from the perspective of what characters, 
and can | somehow write something that passes the Bechdel test? | 
was able to do so, but | have regretted it every second since. Each 
chapter | write | think through with consideration to what’s happened 
and how | can most annoy the readers with trivial bullshit, like 1000 
words dedicated to picking a lock. This | ignore and then hammer 
the keyboard, relying on autocorrect to parse the random strings into 
a coherent sentence. | only break them down by the smallest 
possible size, so that the number of things that | wrote looks 
enormous. Eventually | have a 'series'. Then | can begin to write 
from beginning to end (or however — another great thing about 
writing with a rubric is that it also allows you to move around and put 
pins in the stories you’re not sure about yet) with distinct 
accomplishment. | know Cain likes to plan ahead rather than just 
pretending as though he knows what he's doing and pulling 
something out of his asshole at the eleventh hour, but | don’t 
recommend this method. It is a lot less stressful, and constantly 
regretting your life decisions is a major part of writing. There’s also a 
greater chance of making something that people will enjoy. Most of 
you will write a story arc the same way that | do, by faking it until you 
make it.

members of staff involved with the approval of this test report to Site 
Command for a disciplinary hearing. 


Item: SCP-061 


Tissue Test Record: 
Overridden by O5-Command 


Termination Test Record: 

SCP-682 exposed to SCP-061. SCP-682 enters the “relaxed” state 
consistent with SCP-061 exposure. SCP-682 is given the command 
“lie down”. SCP-682 remains unresponsive. Command repeated 
twice before SCP-682 lowers itself to the ground. Movements noted 
to be very sluggish and jerky. SCP-682 given the command “roll 
onto your back”. SCP-682 unresponsive. Command repeated three 
times. SCP-682 shudders several times, partially rolling over before 
returning to former position. Command repeated six times. SCP-682 
appears to undergo a violent seizure, partially rising before 
collapsing to the floor. SCP-682 given the command “stand up’. 
SCP-682 rapidly rises and breaches containment. SCP-682 ignores 
all commands given to it. Several Agents and staff respond to re- 
establish containment. SCP-682 emits a high-pitch “screech”. All 
human beings in a fifteen-meter radius suddenly enter the “relaxed” 
state consistent with SCP-061 exposure. SCP-682 consumes 
several members of staff before being recontained by specially- 
equipped Emergency Response Teams. “Sonic Stun” adaptation 
lost from SCP-682 after two weeks. 


Note: Study into how SCP-682 integrated SCP-061 into its biology is 
ongoing. 
Item: SCP-053 


Tissue Test Record: 
N/A, overridden by O5-Command 


Termination Test Record: 
SCP-682 introduced to SCP-053 containment area. SCP-682 
appears to be very confused, and shows no sign of being affected
