Description: SCP-935 is a box of playing cards, appearing to date 
from pre-1700 Germany, specifically Brandenburg. All cards 
composing SCP-935 are well worn, but in playable condition. On the 
box, the words "Know this: that | have faith in your life, and not in 
your death" have been written. 


If any card is displaced 3m or more from the box, the entire set will 
instantly be teleported into SCP-935. Analysis produces no evidence 
of vapor or residue, and high-speed camera footage of the cards 
vanishing has been inconclusive. If the cards themselves are 
damaged or altered in any way, they will remain in the same 
condition until a relocation event, after which they will be restored to 
their original condition. In addition, any damage to SCP-935 itself 
will be regenerated over time. For example, tearing open SCP-935's 
lid resulted in the fibrous tissue of the paper becoming animated and 
reached out to the torn area, pulling each edge closer and 
intertwining, eventually reconstituting the damaged area 3 minutes 


Two Commandos with a large backpack run towards the center of 
the dig. As a tentacle lunges for them, they trigger the 

backpack, which is an SADM explosive. As the explosion 

begins, CUT BACK TO: 


EXT. TROOP TRANSPORT HELICOPTER 


Where we see the explosion rapidly overtake the troop 
transport. Dr. Jafari bows his head and rocks back and forth. 
The explosion envelopes the transport. CUT BACK TO: 


EXT. DIG SITE 


WIDE SHOT of the site, where the explosion rises into the 
air. As the scene starts to fade out, we hear Captain Good in 
voiceover: 


CAPTAIN GOOD (V.O.) 
(in Urdu) Until we meet again. 


CUT TO: 
ACT 5 
INT. SECURITY DESK SITE-76 


This act opens with several shots with a voiceover by AGENT 
KLIKS, who is conversing with an unknown party on his phone. 


Focus on Security Desk engaged in normal activity. 


KLIKS (V.O.) 
No, that was never the deal. The 
arrangements got fucked up somehow. 


INT. SITE-76 ARCHIVES 
Focus on that bored Librarian reading her book. 


KLIKS (V.O.) 
An information swap is nothing like 
allowing a containment breach. 


INT. OUTSIDE CONTAINMENT CELL OF SCP-140 


Focus on the cell door and its two Guards, standing at 
attention. 


KLIKS (V.O.) 
| never said that! (pause) Where 
are you getting your information? 


INT. AGENT'S KLIKS' OFFICE SITE-76 


The once ornate office is now nearly empty of lived-in 
furnishings. Instead, we see bare Foundation fixtures, and 
two large taped-up boxes on the floor. Next to these are two 
expensive-looking overnight bags. 


Kliks is pacing the office, talking on a cheap cellphone that 
looks like a "burner". He is wearing a summer scarf in the 
European style, as well as a hat. He looks ready to travel. 


KLIKS 
Of course | want access to the 
Library. The whole Foundation does. 
But your cost is too high. 

(extended pause) I'll have to think 
about that. (extended pause) Yes, 
that sounds much better. But | have 
to leave you now. I'm on the move. 

(pause) To my new roost. Finally, 

I'm getting the respect | deserve. 

(pause) I'll be in touch. Ciao. 


Kliks shuts off the phone, grins at it, then tosses it into a 

heavy duty shredder attached to a bare desk. He picks up the 
two overnight bags, and walks to the door. Looking around one 
more time, he smiles and leaves the office, whose lights shut 
off automatically when he leaves. 


FADE TO: 


INT. CORRIDOR LEADING TO SECURITY DESK-AFTERNOON 


FRONT SHOT of GREY, DR. MAHTO, and 2 GUARD escorts, 
slowly 

walking to the Security Desk. Grey has his messenger bag, and 
each Guard is carrying a travel bag belonging to Dr. Mahto. 
The mood is subdued. 


DR. MAHTO 
Does this happen often, Simon? 


GREY 
(pause) More than you want. 


DR. MAHTO 
43 people died today. That happens 
more than we want? 


GREY 
Look, Zeta-9 knew the score. Mobile 
Task Forces are our best, but that 
means they get the tough jobs. 
Sometimes they're impossible. 


DR. MAHTO 
| don't know if | can live this 
way, Simon. It seems so arbitrary. 


CLOSE SHOT on Dr. Mahto 


DR. MAHTO (CONT'D) 
| have always thought about my 
research helping people, serving 
the world. How satisfying is it to 
think that all you can do is just 
keep the body count to a minimum? 


WIDEN SHOT to Group. Grey stops and turns to Dr. Mahto, then 
to the Guards. 


GREY 
Guards, give us a moment. 


The Guards step to the side. FRONT SHOT on Grey and Dr. Mahto 


in PROFILE. 


GREY (CONT'D) 

Doctor. (pause) Jagruti. Today, 
(pause) today you saw more than 
some new researchers see in 3 
years. It's awful on the best days. 
You saw the worst. Anyway, now you 
have to stop feeling sorry for 
yourself and get on with it. 


DR. MAHTO 
| am not feeling sorry for myself! 
| just don't know what | can do for 
the Foundation. |, | think | made 
the wrong decision. 


GREY 
(thinking) | guess that old saying 
is right, then. 


DR. MAHTO 
Which one is that? 


GREY 
The truth hurts. 


DR. MAHTO 
Does that even apply here, Simon? 


GREY 
No, probably not, I'm so bad with 
words. I'm just saying, you saw the 
truth, Doctor. More than most 
people ever will. And yeah, most 
people don't want the truth, 
because it hurts to know. But 
you're a scientist. | don't know, 
I'm not one, but | thought that the 
truth was everything to scientists. 
When you do an experiment, or 


whatever, do you give up if it 
doesn't work the way you wanted? 


DR. MAHTO 
No, not if you are a good 
scientist. Sometimes, the failures 
provide the most information. 


GREY 
Then you're in the right place, 
Doctor. Lotta failure here. Goes 
with the territory. 


DR. MAHTO 
If | could figure out the mechanism 
for SCP-140 expansion, it would be 
fantastic. More meaningful than 
anything | have worked on to date. 


GREY 
Yes, it would. 


DR. MAHTO 
140 seems able to convert a certain 
form of matter to temporal energy. 
If we could monitor local quantum 
entanglement during an expansion 
event- 


GREY 
Doctor- 


DR. MAHTO 
-we could measure the changes in 
entanglement correlation, and see 
how it applies to the local quantum 
field! Then- 


GREY 
DOCTOR. I. Have. No. Idea what 
you're talking about. But it's good 


you do. Let's get to Site-19. Look 
up Dr. Xyanks when you get there. 
(to Guards) Guards, we're ready. 


REVERSE SHOT as Grey, Mahto, and Guard walk away, continuing 
towards the Security Desk. Mahto continues to formulate, 
while Grey just nods. 


CUT TO: 
INT. SECURITY DESK SITE-76 


ANGLE ON Grey and Mahto as they come up behind main desk and 
stop short. Camera continues forward to reveal a large 

contingent of Guards, researchers, and staff milling about 

and talking to each other. CMDR YOO and LT. QUINN seem to be 
a particular focus of attention, while Agent Kliks stand near 

the desk, observing the proceedings. The mood is festive. 

Cmar Yoo's left forearm has a cast with many signatures and 
doodles. 


GREY 
Geezus, did we miss something? 


KLIKS 
In fact, you missed several 
somethings. 


DR. MAHTO 
Oh, I'm sorry we missed it! Some 
good news is welcome. 


GREY 
What? What happened? 


ANGLE ON Cmdr Yoo and Lt. Quinn approaching. 


KLIKS 
Special Agent, you are now speaking 
to Captain Jesse Quinn. Show some 
respect. 


GREY 
Really? Wow, that's great news, ah, 
Captain. 


DR. MAHTO 
Jesse, | am so proud of you. | wish 
we had more time to work together. 


CAPTAIN QUINN 
Thanks, Doctor. But | can tell, 
you're needed at Site-19. I'll hold 
down the fort here. 


GREY 
Hold down the— 


CMDR YOO 
Captain Quinn is the new Chief of 
Security for 76. (to Quinn, in 
jest) Don't blow it, Jess. I'll 
have lots of eyes watching you. 


GREY 
(realizing) OK, catching up slowly. 
Does that mean (smiles all about) 
Commander, are you coming to Site 
19? Yoon-hee, that's incredible! 
(calmer) | mean, Commander. 


CMDR YOO 
‘Fraid so, Grey. They keep telling 
me it doesn't have to be a desk 
job, so | keep saying yes. Plus, 
who's going to keep you and Kliks 
from driving each other to drink? 


GREY 
(sickly) Oh, no, no really? 


KLIKS 
The powers that be have come to 


their senses, and are moving me to 
my rightful domain. I've been given 
an "at large" portfolio: lets me 
dabble in whatever | deem most 
important across the entire grid. 
Don't worry, Grey, I'll give youa 
taste now and then. 


GREY 
(looking at the group) Well, two 
out of three isn't bad. 


CMDR YOO 
If it's any consolation, Agent, we 
get to take the jet back. 


GREY 
Really? I've heard the jet snacks 
are awesome. Well, then, | guess 
we're ready. Guard, please arrange 
an escort and take Dr. Mahto's 


luggage. 


DR. MAHTO 
Simon, | want to say goodbye to a 
few people here. It will just take 
a moment. 


GREY 
| think the jet has to wait for us. 


Dr. Mahto steps into the crowd. Kliks moves closer to Grey 
and they have a quiet conversation. 


KLIKS 
| would never discuss this in front 
of the others. 


GREY 
Yoon-hee must know. 


KLIKS 
The Commander has no official 
knowledge. Remember that. 


GREY 
Sure. So you have some new private 
insult you want to spring on me? 


KLIKS 
In good time. But right now, | need 
to apologize. Something did go 
wrong. 


GREY 
Christ, Kliks, that's all you got? 
A Top 20 Keter breached! What 
possible- 


KLIKS 
It has to do with...our project. 


GREY 
(silent, then) Like | said. How? 


KLIKS 
Let's say that we may have an '‘in' 
now with someone who knows...a Way. 


GREY 
(pause) | don't know, Kliks. We've 
been lied to again and again. Seems 
like you moved too fast this time. 


KLIKS 
With us both at Site-19 it will be 
easier to coordinate. And for you 
to be more informed. 


GREY 
(distressed) This may have all been 
worth it. All these deaths. What 


the hell's wrong with me? 


KLIKS 
The Foundation does it to us all. 
Might as well put it to the best 
use possible. 


Dr. Mahto approaches with Cmdr Yoo and 3 Guard escorts. Also 
entering the scene is the PILOT taking our crew to Site-19. 
(S)he is a less armored guard, wearing a visored helmet 
obscuring his/er eyes. (S)he also wears gloves...similar to 

the Sarkite (recall none of our main cast saw this). PAN IN 

on the gloves. Then CUT TO WIDE SHOT on Dr. Mahto. 


DR. MAHTO 
All right, Simon, I'm ready. 


CMDR YOO 
Do you know your first assignment, 
Jagruti? 


DR. MAHTO 
| am part of Dr. Gears’ research 
group. | don't know much more than 
that right now. 


GREY 
Oh, man, Gears! 


DR. MAHTO 
What does THAT mean? 


GREY 
| can tell you some stories on the 
plane. 


KLIKS 
(acknowledging Pilot) Pilot, we're 
ready to depart. Off to the 
mothership, everyone! 


Grey suddenly looks distracted, and is looking at the Pilot. 


and 43 seconds after the test initiated. 


When a subject carrying Genetic Marker Bowe-1A reaches the age 
of 41, SCP-935 will teleport itself into their possession. Attempting to 
take it from the subject in the first 78 hours following its 
manifestation will result in its immediate return to the subject. All 
subjects who have possessed SCP-935 have gone missing within 
78 hours of coming into possession of it, with one exception. During 
its time in containment, approximately 6 subjects have been lost 
after coming into possession of SCP-935, and it is estimated that an 
additional 67 subjects were lost prior to initial containment. 


After appearing within the subjects possession, a card within 
SCP-935 will have detailed instructions on a specific card game to 
be played by the subject. These are always listed with the caveat 
that cheating will result in their demise. However, research into 
SCP-935 affected subjects show that they have all died within 78 
hours of obtaining it, whether or not they completed the task. 
SCP-935 appears to make moves on its own, with cards being 
teleported into their positions as the game is played. 


Addendum: 
Incident Log 935 


incident Description 

4 May 1645 A letter from a wealthy 
Italian trader to his wife 
describes SCP-935 in great 
detail. 

23 December 1889. John Rawl is reported 
missing in Boston, shortly 
after completing a card 
game with SCP-935. First 
confirmed report of 
SCP-935 in North America, 
however SCP-935 is not 
recovered at the scene. 

19 June 1890. John Rawl Jr. commits 
suicide with SCP-935 in his 
presence. SCP-935 is later 


The group begins to depart. Grey turns to Dr. Mahto. 


GREY 
(distracted) Oh, almost forgot. 
Never had a chance this morning. 


Grey formally extends a hand to Dr. Mahto. 


GREY (CONT'D) 
(ambivalent, serious) Welcome to 
the Foundation, Doctor. 


Dr. Mahto shakes Grey's hand once. The group turns towards a 
corridor and heads towards it. Grey taps Kliks on the 

shoulder and says something unheard. Both briefly stop, look 
at the Pilot, then continue walking. SHOT PULLS BACK to show 
the entire hall as the group departs. SHOT DISSOLVES up to 
the weigh station bay, then WIDENS to show the whole weigh 
station. Continues to PULL BACK to show a construction dig 
next to the weigh station hidden from the highway. Across the 
screen we see the text "Solaris Construction & Planning." We 
hover over this scene as the text and scene begin to fade, 

apart from the leading letters "S-C-P", as we...
