them, they became me. | could unmake it all. Those long 
years without anyone, that way people forgot about me 
the moment they turned away, that smile on her face, 
like she didn't even know, /ike she didn't even know that | 
cared! | could unmake it all. Gone, just like that. That 
would make them remember. Oh, | would make them 
care about me, they would care about me because there 
was nothing else left, because I'd leave nothing else to 
care about, THEY WOULD CARE ABOUT M- 


| caught myself then, and | could see how far | have 
fallen. After all those years, there was nothing left in me 
but jealousy, resentment, and that kind of desire that 
only leads to ugliness. | couldn't use that entropy that 
was so kindly left behind for me. A better man could. A 
better man would use this power for good, because there 
was nothing wrong with entropy. No, it wasn't the power 
that was corrupt, it was me. But we were tied now, me 
and it. Forever. | knew that if | released it, it would... 
bring things forth. From those empty places between 
places, things will come forth, and there would be no 
stopping them. Not me, not the unknowing creator, nor 
those who held him, no one could stop them. | couldn't 
hold the power, and | could not release it. But there was 
a third option. An option that should have been 
unthinkable, that should have left me weeping for even 
considering it. But it didn't. | think | knew it was coming. 
Maybe | hoped it was coming. 


| could unmake myself. If | could trust myself to use the 
power, just once, to send myself to a place where it 
could do no harm, where it would simply dissipate, left to 
blend with the greater entropy of creation. | would shoot 
myself upward, like a meteor in reverse, freezing instead 
of burning, and my consciousness would disappear with 
the power, forever. There would be no return, for there 
would be no death. | would simply be gone, for good. 
This... 


This gladdened me. 


It took longer than | thought. | did not expect anything of 
me to remain for this long, but I'm glad something did. | 
finally got to leave, you see. | got to watch the whole 
world turn below me, a hundred times, a thousand, more. 
Green, blue and red, and that's all. But now, the power is 
gone. The emptiness returned to whence it came. It's 
time to go. | thank you for listening. It did me good to 
know that someone was there to hear what | had to say. 
It might not mean much to you, but it does to me. | 
suppose there's only one question left for me to ask then. 


Am | happy? | don't think | am. | wish that | could find 
some way to live down there, to live as something more 
than an empty vessel. To be content, | think that would 
have been enough. But the time for that is done. Done 
and gone. 


Am | happy then? No. But at least | have nothing to fear 
anymore. And for someone like me, that would have to 
be enough. 


Enough.

SCP-1936: Daleport 


Item #: SCP-1936 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1936 is to be contained 
behind a two meter electrical fence, which is to be patrolled by 
security elements. The area contained is roughly circular, 1km in 
diameter. Security cameras are to be installed to cover areas not 
currently being patrolled. Expeditions into SCP-1936 are to be 
escorted by an armed element as specified by Area-37's Security 
Director. Personnel are not to enter spatially anomalous locations 
without specific authorization, with the conditions of such 
authorization dependent on recent anomalous activity within 
SCP-1936. 


Area-37 is to be set-up on the outskirts of the town to support these 
operations and to provide facilities for the initial testing and 
classification of objects recovered from SCP-1936. Once classified, 
these objects are to be sent to the appropriate Site for long-term 
storage and study. 


Dead biological samples recovered from SCP-1936 are to be kept 
under strict quarantine and taken to Area-37. Summary incineration 
may be performed if the samples are deemed hazardous. In the 
event that any live biological samples are found in SCP-1936, 
investigating personnel are to remove themselves from the area and 
Mobile Task Force Zeta-29 (“Mad Mountaineers”) are to be sent in 
to recover and bring it into containment. 


Description: SCP-1936 is the New England town of Daleport. In the 
year 1997, the town fell victim to what is presumed to be a highly 
destructive event or a series of highly destructive events over the 
course of several days. During this time, the Foundation was unable 
to enter the town or observe any event that occurred therein due to 
the presence of SCP-1936-1, a gaseous area centered on Daleport 


that covered the whole town. (For further information, see Attempted 
Expedition 1936.) This anomaly is no longer present at SCP-1936, 
having dissipated a week and a half after its appearance. 


Dimensions of the remaining buildings have become significantly 
altered from the original plans and a large number of them have 
become topologically inconsistent. Investigations report spatial 
anomalies including rooms that become smaller when they are 
entered, eventually preventing the occupants from moving,! doors 
that lead to different points at different times of the day and corridors 
that despite leading to only one location also lead to several different 
locations.2 


No survivors from the anomalous events which affected Daleport 
have been found within the town proper, but the remains of a large 
number of Daleport citizens have been recovered. Cause of death 
varies, but it appears that a large number committed suicide. In 
many cases, the remains of these citizens demonstrate anomalous 
properties, presumed to be a result of the anomalous event. Some 
of these remains have included: 


¢« Asmear of entrails and viscera capable of picking up audio 
radio transmissions from up to six miles away. Sound is 
created through vibration of tissues. Subject was found with a 
small plant that gave out a small constant flame. 

¢ A torso embedded in a wall. Slight movement of the torso was 
visible when investigating personnel spoke. Blood continually 
manifests fifteen centimeters above the torso. 

¢ The body of an older male with both eyes gouged out. A 
steady stream of ashes pours from the body's eye sockets, 
nose, mouth and ears without any apparent source. 

¢ Several human corpses discovered in a row on the main 
street. Flesh, skin and bone had been removed from a circular 
portion of their foreheads. Skin and brain tissue surrounding 
the wound had undergone severe charring. 

* At 19:42 each day, several floating torsos manifest outside the 
Johnson Public Library, simulating the motions of running, 
heading southwest along Market Road. Three minutes after 
manifesting the torsos attempt to leave the road and fade out. 

¢ The body of a young female that floats steadily upwards when 


subject to any applied force, regardless of the force's 
direction.3 


Attempted Expedition Log-1936: 


Due to the unknown status of Daleport’s residents, manned and 
unmanned expeditions were made into SCP-1936-1 to determine 
the safety of entering SCP-1936-1, ascertain the nature of 
SCP-1936-1 and its effect, and to facilitate possible recovery of 
civilians. These expeditions took place over the course of several 
days as resources arrived on location. 


Open Expedition Log 
Attempted Expedition Log-1936-1: 


Unmanned Ground Expedition: 


Procedure: Following the detainment of 
relevant witnesses and the establishment of a 
containment perimeter, an Unmanned Ground 
Vehicle (UGV-1) was sent into SCP-1936-1. 
UGV-1 was equipped with atmospheric 
sampling sensors, closed- and open-circuit 
biological samples, including several Rattus 
norvegicus (brown rat) instances. Video and 
audio recording equipment were also included. 


Results: UGV-1 found SCP-1936-1 to be 
composed of sulfur, nitrogen and carbon 
oxides. The concentration was found to be ata 
level where irritation occurs, but would not 
present a lethal hazard. Biological samples 
were unaffected in any anomalous manner. 
Video recordings showed a smooth, 
wasteland-like landscape, starting at 100m into 
SCP-1936-1 and extending up to 2km from the 
edge of SCP-1936-1. At this range, radio 
communication with UGV-1 became 
degraded4 and UGV-1 was returned to the 


SCP-1936-1's perimeter. 
Attempted Expedition Log-1936-2: 
Manned Ground Expedition: 


Procedure: Two D-Class (D-512 and D-513) 
were sent into SCP-1936-1, aboard UGV-2.5 
UGV-2 was equipped with a higher wattage 
radio transceiver than that of UGV-1. D-512 
and D-513 wore Level A (Gas-tight) hazmat 
protective clothing and biotelemetry sensors 
during the expedition. 


Results: D-512 and D-513 were initially taken 
1km from SCP-1936-1's boundary. D-513 was 
ordered to de-suit. D-513 had been previously 
briefed on this and complied promptly. D-513 
reported no-ill effects from exposure to 
SCP-1936-1. Medical telemetry showed D-513 
had slight difficulty breathing, similar to 
breathing smog. D-512 and D-513 continually 
reported flat featureless terrain while in 
SCP-1936-1. Unacceptable levels of radio 
interference began at 3km from SCP-1936-1's 
boundary and UGV-2 was returned to 
SCP-1936-1's edge. Medical examinations 
performed upon their return on D-512 and 
D-513 showed they had not been abnormally 
affected during the expedition. 


Attempted Expedition Log-1936-3: 
Armed Manned Ground Expedition: 


Foreword: The following audio log is a 
transcription of an attempted expedition by 
mechanized infantry platoon Kilo. The platoon 
was assigned six Piranha LAV V vehicles 
(designated Alpha through Foxtrot), with 
mounted environmental analysis equipment. 


Log begins 3km into SCP-1936-1. 


C&C: Kilo Actual, Kilo Actual, this is Mike. 
Requesting update on your status, over. 


Kilo Actual: Mike, this is Kilo Actual. We’re 
still seeing the terrain as flat. SCP-1936-1 
doesn’t seem to have changed since we went 
in. 


Bravo Actual: Kilo Actual, this is Bravo 
Actual. We can see upwards incline ahead. 


Alpha Actual: This is Alpha Actual. We aren’t 
seeing any incline. Checked your mark ones 
over there, Bravo? 


Bravo Actual: Alpha, we’re going down the 
incline right now. 


Alpha Actual: Yeah, we see it. Following you 
down.§ 


Charlie Actual: Kilo Platoon, this is Charlie 
Actual. Anyone else seeing the sky out there? 
We're getting a lot of red and blue patterns. 
Seems to be screwing up the radio a bit. 


Unknown 1: Y'hah hlirgh fm'latgh ebumn. 


Charlie Actual: Uh, C&C? | think we're getting 
a bit of interf- 


Unknown 2: They said, "Amen, may that 
heretic burn in the pit". As in, "| fucking hate 
him so much, | hope he dies a slow painful 
death in a burning hole". 


At this point, two-way communication with the 
expedition team was lost, with C&C only able 


to receive messages. Sounds of a firefight and 
wildly varying descriptions of the attacking 
forces are heard. After approximately 30 
minutes, the following message is received. 


Unknown 3: Blargh, | am Ssvlsrr, the 
Shivering Mist. | am the n'ghft currently 
covering the town of Daleport. While traversing 
my ftaghu, your men have been attacked. 
Some have become n'gha, but the rest are in 
safe hands. Evil has been summoned to this 
town, by a society of hlirghh. The worst shall 
be contained within me by vulgtmm and 
tharanakk, but the town and its people will not 
remain unaffected. A great battle shall rage 
and a victor must be decided. In time, those 
who can stop the ehye will be here in time and 
see the hlirghh fm'latgh. Please do not send 
any more soldiers into me as | cannot keep 
them from the shogg. When all throd before 
the victors, | shall leave and the shugg will be 
yours again. | hope you shall survive it. Y'hah. 


Closing Statement: Unmanned observations 
continued to operate but were unable to reach 
the town of Daleport. No manned expeditions 
were sent into SCP-1936-1 prior to its 
dissipation. 


Recovered Materials-1936: 


A large number of documents were retrieved from SCP-1936. These 
are assumed to have been written by the town's previous 
inhabitants. 


Open Recovered Written Documents 


Document recovered from laptop in a residence in the 
southeastern quadrant of SCP-1936. 


dear diary 


today mr. stickys arm came out the closit 
insted of the window. it was even longer then 
ever, but it was stil smoky wen i touched it so 
my hand hurts :( 


i told mr sticky i didnt want any of his gros food 
today and he got mad. he said it was vitel to 
the inqubashun of the lava. im relly hungry so i 
ate the gross food even thogh it was green 
and sqirmy. 


i dont like mr. sticky that much 


The following phrase was found in multiple locations, 
predominantly in public toilets and stitched into the 
internal organs of mutated Daleport residents. 


| am sorry that | could not save you. 
-Pangloss 


Document recovered from a store in the southwestern 
quadrant of SCP-1936. 


Running out of canned fruit, but | guess that’s 
the least of my wories (sic). There was some 
more godawful screaming and shit out there 
tonight. Screaming started off human, think it 
was Lilly from next door. Don’t know what it 
sounded like by the end. Never heard anything 
that sounded like that. 


Thought | heard something trying to get ina 
while ago. It was Reverend Hawshore walking 
past my window again. Still ranting about god- 
knows-what. Managed to get a glimpse of him 
through the window, wished | hadn’t. He had 
too many spaces in him. 


Gotta leave, | think one of the big guys is 
coming this way. | can hear drums outsi 


i am the Voice and the Voice is me 


Security cameras and other video devices continued to acquire 
footage while the SCP-1936-1 was present. 


Open Recovered Video Footage 


Video recovered from a ruined gas station’s surveillance 
camera on the outskirts of SCP-1936. Start time is 2139. 


The cashier of the establishment is handing a 
customer a plastic bag. The window next to 
the two individuals smashes, and an unknown 
organism enters through the broken window. 
Its appearance is unclear, as its center is 
surrounded by multiple tentacle-like 
appendages. It is roughly the same height as 
an adult human. 


The customer attempts to flee. The organism 
lashes out at the customer with a tentacle. The 
customer is decapitated and, due to the impact 
of the tentacle, the head is propelled off- 
camera. 


The cashier hides behind the counter, but the 
organism moves itself over the counter and out 
of sight, presumably having landed on them. 
Blood and viscera consistently splatter on the 
wall above the counter for the next thirty 
seconds. 


What appears to be an elderly human wearing 
a bowler hat and waistcoat enters the 
establishment. The footage becomes mildly 
distorted when the individual enters the shot, 
and increases greatly when it becomes 
apparent that instead of a face, the individual 
has a triangle branded into their skin. 


The first organism moves back onto the 


counter, appearing to be wary of the individual. 
The distortion of the footage increases as 
several multi-jointed appendages burst from 
various points on the individual's body.
