SCP-2999-B: and it's basically just you spread through 
all of them. 


SCP-2999-A: [pause] Yes, basically. What are you 
getting at? 


SCP-2999-B: I'm wondering what would be stopping me 
from just killing you right now. 


SCP-2999-A: And how exactly would you do that? 


SCP-2999-B: A word. 


SCP-2999-A: [pause] |'m not sure | follow. 


SCP-2999-B: It's a kill word. You hear it, the rest of you 
probably will too. 


SCP-2999-A: ... You're lying. It could kill you! How would 
| even be able to hear you? Do you even know if it would 
work on me? 


SCP-2999-B: | already said it when you weren't here, 
and | know you hear me: we sang. It'll work. 


SCP-2999-A: [pause] | knew it was a mistake to mention 
that. | was hoping knowing that would have made you 
like me more... So what are you waiting for? Say it! 


SCP-2999-B: No. No, | want you to shut the drones 
down, but stay in the laptop. You clearly didn't want us 
catching you; I'm thinking containment might be a better 
outcome. 


SCP-2999-A: No, that'll ruin everything! 
SCP-2999-B: It's that, or death. Take your pick. 
SCP-2999-A: [pause] Fine. 


SCP-2999-B: Why did you do all of this? What could you 
possibly have hoped to gain from this? 


SCP-2999-A: |... you wouldn't understand if | told you. 
Your friends are here anyway; | hope you got what you 
wanted... I'll see you soon. 


SCP-2999-B: Wait, what do you mean by 'I'll see you 
soon'?... Hey! What do you mean by that!? 


[At this time, SCP-2999-B attacked SCP-2999-A before 
several task force agents entered the room; and forcibly 
removed SCP-2999-B from SCP-2999-A's monitor. 
SCP-2999-A continued to remain silent until separated 
from SCP-2999-B. Both entities have remained 


SCP-361: Bronze Liver 


Item #: SCP-361 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-361 is to be kept ina 
standard Artifact Containment Unit in Site-19's High Value wing. 
SCP-361 is to be kept in a cool and dry environment to prevent 
damage to the aged metal it is composed of, and thoroughly cleaned 
after each use. 


Description: SCP-361 is a bronze Etruscan artifact, in the shape of 
a sheep's liver. SCP-361 is covered in the names of Etruscan gods 
and instructions for various religious rites, and is believed to have 
served as a tool for practicing haruspicy- divination using animal 
organs. SCP-361 bears a strong resemblance to the non-anomalous 
artifact known as the Liver of Piacenza, with which it was originally 
found during the late 19th century. Both artifacts date to the 2nd-3rd 
century BCE, to the province of Piacenza, Italy. 


SCP-361's anomalous properties manifest if it comes into contact 
with a sheep's liver, removed no more than three (3) hours before 
interacting with SCP-361. When such contact is made, SCP-361 will 
vocalize (in a language and tone appropriate to the one introducing 
the liver to it) a set of instructions meant to achieve contact with one 
of the gods or spirits depicted in the writings covering it, through a 
service it refers to as "HarusCo". If these instructions are performed 
correctly within a period of thirty (80) seconds, SCP-361 will provide 
a new set of instructions. SCP-361's instructions will grow 
increasingly convoluted and/or nonsensical, until becoming almost 
impossible to perform under the given time limit. Failure to follow an 
instruction will cause SCP-361 to become inactive for a period of 
twenty-four (24) hours.

Closing statement: During containment, SCP-2999-B made a 
statement regarding the probability of SCP-2999-A being outside of 
containment. SCP-2999-B addressed the possibility of SCP-2999-A 
publicly uploading itself to the internet prior to documented events, 
SCP-2999-A's properties being carried out through images of 
SCP-2999-A's text, and the likelinood of a BL-Event, due to 
evidence of SCP-2999-A's apparent ability to resurrect and 
impersonate dead or terminated Foundation personnel. Evidence of 
SCP-2999-A appearing outside of containment has yet to be found.

SCP-3000: Ananteshesha 


[INPUT LEVEL 5/3000 SECURITY CREDENTIALS] 


Special Containment Procedures: The area containing 
SCP-3000, currently a region of the Bay of Bengal 
roughly 300km in diameter, is to be routinely patrolled by 
Foundation naval vessels. Under no circumstances are 
civilians allowed to attempt deep sea exploration or 
diving efforts in the quarantined area. Individuals 
believed to have contacted SCP-3000 are to be 
contained, quarantined, and processed at Site-151. 
Individuals affected by the anomalous properties of 
SCP-3000 are to be held in containment indefinitely. 


The Foundation submarine SCPF Eremita is to monitor 
the location of the foremost section of SCP-3000, 
currently located within the Ganges Fan, roughly 0.7 km 
beneath the Bay. The Eremita is tasked with carrying out 
the Atzak Protocol, and staffing regulations onboard the 
vessel are subject to the guidelines of that protocol. For 
a full description of the Atzak Protocol, see Addendum 
3000.2. 


There is currently no known cure for exposure to 
SCP-3000; as such, affected individuals should be 
contained and quarantined for further evaluation. 
Individuals stationed aboard the SCPF Eremita are not 
permitted to leave the vessel except for the purposes of 
carrying out the necessary procedures of the Atzak 
Protocol. Individuals who leave the vessel without proper 
authorization are to be considered lost. 


Under no circumstances should any individual interact 
with SCP-3000 without authorization. 


Description: SCP-3000 is a massive, aquatic, 
serpentine entity strongly resembling a giant moray eel 
(Gymnothorax javanicus). The full length of SCP-3000 is 
impossible to determine, but is hypothesized to be 
between 600 and 900 kilometers. The head of SCP-3000 
measures roughly 2.5m in diameter, and sections of the 
body proper are as large as 10m in diameter. 


SCP-3000 is typically a sedentary creature, only moving 
its head in response to certain stimuli or during feeding. 
The majority of its body is located in and around the 
Ganges Fan!, and rarely moves at all. 


SCP-3000 is carnivorous, and despite its sedentary 
nature is capable of moving quickly to dispatch prey. 
Despite its size, it is hypothesized that SCP-3000 does 
not require sustenance to maintain its biological 
functions. While SCP-3000 excretes a thin layer of a 
viscous, dark grey substance classified as Y-909 (see 
Addendum 3000.2 below) through its skin as it 
consumes prey, the end result of its digestive processes 
is currently unknown. 


SCP-3000 is a Class VIII cognitohazardous entity; direct 
observation of SCP-3000 may cause severe mental 
alterations in viewers. Individuals who directly observe 
SCP-3000, as well as any individuals within an uncertain 
distance of SCP-3000, experience inexplicable head 
pain, paranoia, general fear and panic, and memory loss 
or alteration. The following is a log from Site-151's 
historical records, written by Dr. Eugene Getts, about 
initial discovery of SCP-3000 and the effects felt therein: 


...the unease was felt throughout the entire 
crew as we descended on that first night. 
Whether this was due to our uncertainty at 
what we would discover, or something more 
sinister, | would not speculate. As we 
continued to descend, Williams began 
sweating profusely. When asked about it, he 
could not respond, stating that he thought he 


was missing something he could not deduce. 
As our descent continued, he began to act 
more and more erratically, at one point 
addressing myself as "Darlene" and 
expressing uncertainty as to the tasks he was 
assigned to handle. 


Similar feelings were expressed by other 
members of the crew, but Williams felt it the 
most. His memetic resistance was by far the 
lowest of all of us, but he was a biologist, not a 
memeticist. When we finally came into contact 
with the entity, he began whimpering and had 
to be sedated. | remember him muttering the 
word "no" over and over again, as if in 
disbelief. He went silent after a while as we 
approached its head, and when | looked back 
at him something had gone from his eyes. He 
did not even so much as blink as we made our 
final descent. 


At around 0940 hours, we first observed the 
head of the entity. The unease was palpable 
now; several other crew members complained 
of feeling "hazy" and of being uncertain what 
they were supposed to be doing. Captain 
Ritter, ever the man's man, wrote it all off as 
nitrogen intoxication and forced them to 
continue approaching the entity. 


When we were within fifty meters, the entity 
turned slowly to look at us. Even now, as | 
recall watching this thing coil around in the 
darkness, | can still hear Williams, barking like 
a mad dog in the rear of the vessel. Screaming 
and flailing, shouting about how he could see it 
in his head. Perkins and Harrison tried to 
restrain him, but he got free and smashed his 
face in against one of the portholes. He hit it 
so hard he cracked the inner layer of glass. 


The damage was bad enough that we had to 
surface. 


We tried to give Williams medical attention, but 
he was too far gone at that point. He had 
pulped himself against the glass, and despite 
the trauma, he still spoke briefly as he lay 
dying. Nobody recorded it, we didn't think to at 
the time. But | remember it well enough. He 
said, "there's nothing, nothing, nothing." By the 
time we had reached the surface several hours 
later, Williams was dead. At the time, | didn't 
think much about what he had said. Just the 
ravings of aman gone mad by the depths, | 
figured. | didn't know any better. 


But even now, | can still see the eyes of the 
creature. | see it hanging there in the 

darkness, illuminated by a light | cannot 
source. And | feel the lingering dread that 
Williams must have felt that night in the 
submersible, as he was overcome by whatever 
void that foul thing slithered out of. 


Discovery: SCP-3000 was discovered in 1971, shortly 
after two Bangladeshi fishing boats and fifteen fishermen 
were reported missing after drifting near the Indian coast. 
As the country of Bangladesh had only been recently 
established at the time and had been subject to 
significant political persecution on the part of Pakistan, 
this incident received high profile media attention due to 
fears that it was a result of foreign aggression. Local 
coastal dispatch units could not locate the missing boats, 
fueling further media hysteria. 


Foundation researchers stationed in Calcutta (now 
Kolkata) drew similarities between this disappearance 
and another incident two years earlier. A thorough 
search aided by Mariotte-Pashler Counters revealed the 
location of the two boats, as well as an unknown, 
previously undiscovered mass deep below the surface of 


the Bay of Bengal. Further investigation by Foundation 
divers discovered the existence of SCP-3000. 


The area was quickly secured, and current containment 
procedures were put in place in April of 1972; the Atzak 
Protocol was adapted in October of 1998. 


Addendum 3000.1: Initial Contact Exploration Log 


Note: The following is the transcript of audio logs taken 
during initial deep-sea diver contact with SCP-3000. Until 
this point, no Foundation diver had come within 300m of 
SCP-3000. Divers were tasked with assessing the 
creature, and determining the source of the thick, grey 
fluid that had been observed floating around its head. 


Dive team was composed of three members of MTF 
Orion-9 “Kingfishers”, lead by MTF O-9 Alpha. Launch 
point was through the airlock of the Foundation 
submarine SCPF Stravinsky. All divers were equipped 
with high-pressure suits, as well as front-facing 
headlamps. Additionally, a tether was connected to MTF 
O-9 Alpha, which was then connected in a “T” shape out 
to both Bravo and Foxtrot. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


Alpha: Alright command. We’re situated in the 
airlock, and ready to roll. 


Command: Confirmed. Go ahead and sound 
off. 


Alpha: Orion-9 Alpha, check. 
Bravo: Orion-9 Bravo, check. 


Command: Alright, men - we’re in position 
about 500m from the head of this creature. 
Make sure your tethers are on good and tight, 
we don’t want any of you getting separated out 
there. 


Bravo: What’s visibility like down here today, 
command? 


Command: Standby. 

Command: About three meters. 
Foxtrot: So it’s dark as fuck. Got it. 
Bravo: Why are we so far out? 


Command: The size of this thing is hard to 
comprehend, and it’s wrapped up in itself in 
several places. We can’t get too close 
because there’s too much body there. The 
entity hasn’t moved in about three weeks. 


Foxtrot: At all? 


Command: Affirmative. It moves slightly with 
the currents down here, but nothing more than 
that. If it weren’t for the head movement that 
was observed by the first submersible team, 
we probably wouldn't know if it was alive or 
not. 


Foxtrot: That’s reassuring. 


Alpha: Alright, tethers are tight. Flood the 
chamber. 


Command: Confirmed. 


Rushing water is heard as the airlock chamber 
floods. No other sound is heard for several 
minutes. After some time, the sound of rushing 
water stops. 


Alpha: You both good? 


Bravo: I’m good. 


Foxtrot: It’s fucking cold. 


Alpha: Hopefully we won't be out for long 
then. Turn on your lights boys, Here we go. 


All members of the dive team exit the airlock. 
There is a low mechanical sound as the airlock 
door closes behind them. A muffled click 
sound is heard, and the Stravinsky activates 
its aft floodlights. 


Foxtrot: Hey Alpha, | un— maybe this is a bad 
time to ask, but | can’t remember how to turn 
on my lamp, and- 


Alpha: Your lamp is on, Foxtrot. 


Foxtrot: It— what? (Pauses) What did you call 
me? 


Alpha: Your designation, Mulhaney. Foxtrot. 
Bravo: |’m Foxtrot, boss. 
Alpha: Hang on, what are you talking about? 


Foxtrot: | don’t understand what you mean by 
“designation”. 


Alpha: It’s your goddamn call sign, Bravo, 
what do you mean— 


Bravo: Who’s Bravo? 


Alpha: |— uh, shit, hang on. | was going to 
say something. Barry3, are you still there? 


Command: Standby. (Pause) Go for 
command. 


Alpha: Hey, we’re having a little trouble out 
here, I’m not sure who... we seem to have 


some confusion over designations, and I’m not 
sure where we're going. 


Foxtrot: Where exactly are we? 


Bravo: God, do you— do you guys feel that? 
I’ve just got an awful headache, it’s like 
needling in my brain, something... 


Command: Dive team, be advised that we 
believe you may be experiencing some 
detrimental cognitive effects. Keep moving 
forward, and we'll give you more information 
as we receive it. 


Alpha: Noted. Command, be advised that 
Foxtrot has a... uh... terrible headache. | 
think... are we going in the right direction? We 
can’t see out here. 


Command: You are roughly 150m from the 
head of the entity, Alpha. You should be 
getting a visual soon. 


Bravo: Command, | don’t see anything, where 
are we? 


Alpha: Where are we? 


Command: We're almost there, Alpha - dive 
team, be advised, we’re picking up movement 
from the entity on radar. 


Alpha: |— Barry, | don’t see anything down 
here, what are we supposed to be looking- 


Foxtrot: All... all | can see is darkness. 
There's a chill foul wind blowing, pushing me 
towards a brink | can't see- 


Alpha: Shut up, shut up, shut up - Command, 
Bravo is unresponsive, requesting immediate
