<0:13:34> Subject returns to Site-16 and 
tether is removed. D-1321 is given ten cans of 
yellow-green spray paint to mark their path 
through the city. D-1321 is then released back 
into the subway and makes their way back to 
the surface. 


<0:20:45> D-1321 has made it back to the 
surface and begins heading to the closest 
skyscraper. D-1321 enters to find themself in a 
mostly empty white room. Elevator doors are 
in the back of the room. The rest of the room is 
devoid of furniture, barring crudely made stone 
sarcophagi that line the walls. D-1321 is 
instructed to approach one for examination. It 
appears that each one has been individually 
hand carved. D-1321 is then instructed to 
move into the elevator and go to the highest 


floor. Subject complies. 


<0:25:02> Subject exits elevator into a room 
that is visually identical to the first room, the 
only difference being glass walls. Sarcophagi 
still line the walls. D-1321 is instructed to view 
the city from all four sides of the room. A wall 
can be seen surrounding the city, about three 
fourths the size of the building D-1321 is in. 
However, because of the distance, it is difficult 
to see what lies beyond the wall. Therefore, it 
is decided that D-1321 should exit the 
skyscraper and move towards the wall. D-1321 
complies and begins the descend down the 
building. 


<0:36:23> At this point, D-1321 is outside and 
moving towards the wall. Sarcophagi can be 
seen through the windows of buildings and 
many can be seen standing upright on street 
corners. D-1321 spray paints lines into the 
ground as they move forward. 


<0:52:42> D-1321 has reached the base of 
the wall. Sarcophagi line the outside of the 
wall. Lifts can also be seen on the outside of 
the wall, about one every 100 meters. D-1321 
is instructed to enter a lift and take it to the top 
of the wall. D-1321 complies. 


<0:57:21> The lift reaches the top of the wall 
and D-1321 exits. D-1321 is instructed to look 
over the wall and they comply. D-1321 
imminently becomes distressed. All that is 
visible over the wall are corpses, too close 
together to see the ground. D-1321 does not 
respond to verbal commands from control. 
Suddenly, D-1321 beings to run back to the lift 
and takes it down despite control demanding 
them to stop. D-1321 run back to the subway 
and back to the door that leads to Site-16, 


where they are immediately taken in for 
interview.

The following is an excerpt from the interview that took 
place after Exploration 3910-05 


Interviewer: Dr. Williams 
Subject: D-1321 


Dr. Williams: Why did you run D-1321? What 
did you see? 


D-1321: There were just so many of them...| 
didn't know what to do. | was just frozen in fear 
at first. You know how you just lock up and 
can't even think of anything? That's what | was 
going through. 


Dr. Williams: Forgive me, but | don't 
understand. It was a lot of corpses, sure, but 
for you to react like that to them doesn't make 
sense to m- 


D-1321: Corpses? Was that camera busted or 
something? Those weren't corpses, man. It 
was people. Thousands and thousands of 
people, tearing each other apart. You could 
just feel the anger, the hate radiating off of 
them. All of it directed at each other. And then 
one of them spotted me and they all just...they 
all stopped just like that. Every single fucking 
one of them. That's when | knew | was fucked. 
It's hard to describe but...It's like all that hate 
was suddenly being directed at me. | ran, so 
what? Anyone would have done the same 
thing. 


+ Exploration Log 3910-09 


Upon entering, D-1265 found themself in a frozen 
wasteland. D-1265 imminently came back and was 
issued arctic survival gear. D-1265 proceeded to go back 
into the doorway and continued the exploration. 


<Begin Log> 


<0:04:02> D-1265 has returned from Site-16 
with arctic gear. Due to the lack of visible 
landmarks, they are instructed to pick a 
direction and continue along it. If nothing is 
found within three kilometers, D-1265 is to 
return to the doorway. D-1265 complies. 


<0:23:34> D-1265 has walked about 1 
kilometer at this point with no variation in the 
environment. When asked how they were 
doing, D-1265 replied "Cold." Control stops 
asking about personal status from now on. 


<0:35:21> D-1265 is about 1.5 kilometers into 
the wasteland when a shape becomes visible 
in the distance. Subject is instructed to head 
towards the landmark. 


<0:37:30> As D-1265 gets closer to the object, 
visibility becomes worse. Precipitation mixed 
with wind and fog make it difficult to tell what 
the object is. D-1265 advances. 


<0:42:26> D-1265 stops as they get within 50 
meters of the object. When instructed to get 
closer, D-1265 replies by stating that it will see 
them if they get any closer. From this distance, 
the object appears to be a stone statue. 


<0:43:02> Control radios D-1265 again to 
request for them to move forward. D-1265 
radios back in a distressed tone for control to 
"shut up or else that thing is gonna hear". 
D-1265 at this point looked up and at the 


object before becoming extremely distressed 
and shouting, most of which was unintelligible. 


<0:44:12> Subject begins to walk towards the 
object, which can be identified now as 
something that resembles the sarcophagi from 
Exploration 3910-05, except much larger. As 
D-1265 approaches the sarcophagus, they 
shout at it to "get away from them". D-1265 
stumbles and falls. The camera is dislodged 
and lands on the ground, facing the 
sarcophagus. 


<0:45:01> The sarcophagus opens. Three 
corpses of middle aged men are inside. 
D-1265 continues to express distress and 
shock, shouting at the corpses and 
sarcophagus to "get your damn hands off of 
me". D-1265 walks into the sarcophagus and it 
closes. 


<0:45:42> The camera feed stays online until 
the camera runs out of battery. The view is of 
the outside of the sarcophagus. The only 
visible mark is an inscription that was written 
on the bottom of it: Lasciate ogni speranza, voi 
ch'entrate. 


<End Log> 


The language was found to be ancient Italian of the 
Tuscan dialect, and translates to "Abandon every hope, 
ye who enter", a line found in Canto 3 of Dante Alighieri's 
Commedia.

SCP-3911: Erebus 


Item #: SCP-3911 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Contained instances of 
SCP-3911 are to be incinerated in a quarantined Off-Site location 
unless specified by an individual of level-3 clearance or above. To 
ensure the complete destruction of all spores, the remains of 
incinerated instances of SCP-3911 are to be mixed in with concrete 
and contained in warehouse 127-B. Instances of SCP-3911 that are 
preserved for testing are to be regarded as a Level-2 biohazard. 
Medical records and police reports in areas where SCP-3911 has 
been known to be found are to be monitored for keywords relating to 
SCP-3911, and a full list of keywords can be found on document 
134-F. 


Description: SCP-3911 is the collective designation for a species of 
parasitic fungus bearing similarities to organisms in the 
Neocallimastigomycota phylum. A fully grown specimen of 
SCP-3911 consists of a main body portion stored within a host 
object, and a vast quantity of tendril like growths capable of 
rudimentary movements and rapid growth, with an average 
circumference of one micrometer, extending from the main body into 
the body of the secondary host. The structure of SCP-391 1's tendrils 
roughly mirrors that of the secondary host's nervous system. 
Instances of SCP-3911 go through six distinct stages in their life. 


During stage 1 instances of SCP-3911 disperse from their parent 
fungi as spores and seek out a host item. Items that have previously 
been recorded as serving as host items include glasses, contact- 
lenses, hearing-aids, nasal strips, and other sensory aids. 

SCP-391 1's methods for identifying and discerning host objects are 
currently unknown. Instances of SCP-3911 typically expire within 72 
hours of dispersal if a host object is not found. 


Stage 2 consists of SCP-3911's integration into its host object. Only 
9% of instances successfully acquire and integrate themselves into 
a host object. The location and size of SCP-3911 during stage 2 is 
reflective of the host object. For instance, in glasses, SCP-391 1 
typically consumes and replaces the majority of the inside bulk of 
the frames with its central body mass and tendrils, but in contact- 
lenses SCP-3911 has been observed digesting and replacing only a 
minimal section of the lenses around the edge, as well as 
possessing disproportionately small tendrils. This noticeable size 
difference does not seem to have a significant effect on the speed or 
effectiveness of SCP-3911's progress through future steps. 


Stages 3 through 6 will not occur unless a human! being uses 
SCP-391 1's host item in its intended fashion for a period of time 
exceeding 15 minutes. If this occurs, SCP-3911 will begin to root its 
tendrils within the body of its secondary host? and connect with the 
nervous system of the human. If a human being does not use 
SCP-391 1's host item, SCP-3911 will expire within 96 hours of 
completely consuming its host objects. 


In stage 4 the tendril like structures begin sapping nutrients from the 
host's body. Additionally, the tendrils begin improving the 
functionality of whatever sensory organ the host item is associated 
with. This is achieved by sections of SCP-3911's tendrils acting as 
extra muscles, redirecting approximately 33% of the nutrients 
sapped from the host's body directly to the cells of the sensory 
organ, as well as several seemingly anomalous processes that 
augment the capabilities of specialized structures in sensory organs, 
such as increasing the photosensitivity of cones in the eyes. It is 
theorized that the intended effect of this is that secondary hosts will 
draw the connection between their increased sensory performance 
and the host object, and continue the use of the host object as a 
result. In the scenario that the secondary host does remove the host 
object, the section of SCP-3911 residing within the host object will 
split from the tendrils and remain inactive until being used by the 
original individual, where it will reconnect with the tendrils. 


From stage 5 and on, SCP-3911 exhibits hazardous anomalous 
effects. Instances of SCP-3911 that have progressed to stage 5 
begin developing unique anomalous cells on their tendrils. When 


fully developed, cells begin reconstituting the atoms of previously 
absorbed nutrients into Silica Aerogel4+. These nutrients include 
those previously used in the augmentation of sensory organs. After 
stage 5, any attempts to remove SCP-3911's host object will result 
in the tendril system releasing the Silica Aerogel material around the 
secondary host's nervous system. Due to the Silica Aerogel's 
exceptionally high electrical resistance, this results in the secondary 
host's nervous system sending out reduced electrical impulses. 
Early symptoms of stage 5 include reduced acuity in some or all 
senses®. However, removal of the host object late into stage 5 and 
in stage 6 will result in the complete elimination of all sensory 
perception, leaving no way for secondary hosts to sense any kind of 
stimuli. These adverse affects can be reversed by recontinuing use 
of a host object. 


Instances of SCP-3911 in stage 6 are considered to be fully 
matured. During stage 6 instances of SCP-3911 will produce 
anywhere between 20,000 to 50,000 individual spores, and then 
slowly release these spores over a course of 72 hours. After 
releasing all of its spores, an instance of SCP-3911 has roughly a 
25% chance of perishing. If the instance survives, they will restart 
stage 6. If the instance expires, the secondary host will suffer from a 
complete lack of sensory perception, unless infected by a new 
instance of SCP-3911. It is important to note that the "death" of an 
instance only applies to the main body, as the tendril structure will 
merely go into its dormant state. If SCP-3911 is artificially 
supplemented with extra nutrients, the chances of SCP-3911 
perishing drop dramatically. 


History: SCP-3911 was discovered by authorities during a raid on 
an abandoned [DATA REDACTED] eyewear warehouse in 
Malaysia, after several individuals reported possible cult activity. 


After several members of the police force involved in the raid began 
to develop seemingly anomalous enhanced sensory perception, 
Foundation personnel launched an investigation. Documents found 
within the warehouse and Foundation testing later confirmed the 
anomalous nature of SCP-3911 and all instances were confiscated. 
Amnestics were administered appropriately without incident. 


The interior of the warehouse was covered in graffiti, of which the 


worth it." A huge amount of unspecified meat was delivered to the 
subject upon completion of the biopsy. The subject was then 
released to explore the facility. 


For the next month and a half the creatures continued to supply the 
subject with mounds of meat and engage it in amiable conversation. 
The subject acquired 14kg (30.8lb) of fat during this time. On 
16/4/2015 the subject was escorted to the kitchen equivalent. It was 
then put on a chopping block and its left hand was removed. 


¢ Request: A replacement hand. Granted. 


8A8-91T-710 
Retrieval: Uneventtul. 


Subject arrived in a large, opaque dome filled with plants, without 

sign of human habitation. Subject stated that walking was difficult 

and uncomfortable. Upon further investigation, the subject found a 
window, displaying what was described as "pitch black, with Earth 
on the horizon." 


Several minutes later, a tall humanoid encountered the subject, 
inquiring about his comparative short stature. Subject replied, asking 
where he was. The humanoid stated they were in "Base 12, oxygen 
and vegetable wing". Subject asked what Earth was doing in the 
sky; humanoid appeared puzzled and responded, "That is the 
moon," gesturing to Earth. A short argument ensued and the 
humanoid departed. 


Subject noted that after the Earth "set," a rocky grey landscape 
became visible, becoming identifiable as the lunar surface after "an 
hour or so". Subject attempted to explore more of his surroundings, 
but shifted back to our reality shortly after setting out. 


¢ Request: One camera; subject stated "the view was 
breathtaking". Denied. 


7J0-175-35X 
Retrieval: Subject was re-contained on the roof of the facility, after 
having fallen approximately five meters. 


majority were words relating to the five senses, and a supposed 
sixth one. 


The following is a document (translated from Malay) found within the 
abandoned warehouse. 


To my Dear Searchers of Malaysia, 


When | heard of your discovery, | cried with joy. We have 
finally been blessed with what we have been searching 
for for years. With this gift we can help the masses that 
have not had the privilege of being being born with the 
door to the sixth sense (praise be) unlocked and 
beckoning. As Brother Tengku can tell you firsthand, the 
loss of one of the holy senses makes you that much 
more strong in the others. Our previous attempts to use 
this principle with the sixth sense (praise be) yielded 
success, but our admittedly crude methods had their 
drawbacks. With this godsend, our Erebus, we can finally 
raise up those less fortunate among our ranks. Stay 
hopeful, for a leg of The Search for the Sixth Sense has 
ended! We shall emerge from the darkness to bask in 
the light, so says the Prophet of the Sixth! 


With 
much joy, 
The 
Third Father
