Notes: It is conclusive that SCP-423 has the ability to not only feel 
emotion but has a belief in the importance of life. 


a console allows communication between SCP-3296-B and the 
Foundation. Two high-efficiency solar panels are attached to 
SCP-3296-A in order to power these systems. 


SCP-3296-B is a human subject which operates SCP-3296-A. 
SCP-3296-B has undergone extensive brain surgery reducing their 
Cognitohazardous Resistance Score to 1.0 x 10-3, making them 
extremely susceptible to suggestion. 


SCP-3296 is presently in mid-Earth orbit. After the events of Incident 
3296-23, it is believed that SCP-3296-B is either dead or otherwise 
unresponsive.

PROJECT MILLIARD 


Documentation prepared by Dr. Albert Milliard, 
present Department Head of Project Heimdall. 


Abstract: It has been known for a long time 
that humans have the ability to influence the 
Hume field. This is exemplified by reality 
benders, who are able to manipulate the Hume 
field to such a level as to bend reality itself. 
However, recently it was discovered that this 
also works the opposite way. Humans are able 
to detect changes in the Hume field, even if 
they didn't make them themselves. 


Of course, this is often a very subtle effect that 
we don't notice in the course of our lifetimes. 
But, given the correct brain surgery and 
conditions, we can make a human as receptive 
to these phenomena as a sixth sense. 


Project Milliard is the Foundation Aeronautics 
Division's attempt to create an early-warning 
system to detect potential attacks from 
Interspace Entities, or IE's. IE's are entities or 


artifacts in outer space that pose a threat to 
Earth, primarily in the form of reality-bending 
abilities. An example of an IE is SCP-3485. It 
is believed that SCP-3485 accomplishes many 
of its feats through low-level reality-bending 
abilities, and it is also believed that SCP-3485 
has the ability to transport itself to Earth, which 
would crush it in its gravitational field. 
However, if Project Milliard is in use, the 
Foundation would be not only able to detect 
IE's before they attack, but also detect future 
extranormal events on Earth. 


Procedure: 


1). Construct a satellite capable of 
permanently sustaining a human subject in 
mid-Earth orbit. 


2). Isolate a subject matching conditions to 
undergo Procedure MILLIARD-ASTRAL. A full 
list of conditions is in Document MILLIARD- 
ASTRAL-458. To summarize: 


* Subject's brain must match Relative 
Brain Structure #3UAC at least 97%. 

* Subject must have been born in a sterile 
environment. 

* Subject must not have any history of 
disease. 

¢ Subject must be between 1 and 18 
months of age. 

¢ Subject must not be an instance of 
SCP-1719-1. 

¢ Subject must not be an instance of 
SCP-3909-A. 

¢ Subject's mother must not be alive. 


For protocols relating to the acquisition of this 
subject, see Document PRO-MILLIARD- 
GAMMA-23. 


3). Selected subject will undergo Procedure 
MILLIARD-ASTRAL. This involves heavy brain 
surgery, administration of several classes of 
mnestic/hallucinogenic products, and artificial 
aging of the subject using hormone techniques 
previously used in Bright-Zartion Humanoid 
Replicators. Full details of Procedure 
MILLIARD-ASTRAL are restricted to essential 
surgical professionals involved in Project 
Milliard and Ethics Committee chairman’. It is 
of note that, due to the conditions under which 
the subjects are acquired, Procedure 
MILLIARD-ASTRAL has a 9% success rate. 
Multiple subjects may be necessary for this 
step. 


4). Once preparation of the subject has been 
completed, they will be attached to the satellite 
component and launched into space. This 
launch is to be undertaken by a Foundation 
front company, and a cover story stating that 
the launch's purpose was to launch a satellite 
into orbit is to be implemented into all official 
records. 


5). Communication will be established at 
Foundation Secure Site-23.

SUBJECT: Re: Ethics Committee Vote - 
Project Milliard 


Dear Chairman Elton, 


| would like to raise objections to Project 
Milliard. The issue | take with Project Milliard 
lies in the fact that the subject needed for the 
project is required to be "between 1 and 18 
months of age”. In my somewhat limited 
medical knowledge, | do not see the reason 
why we need several infant subjects, rather 
than several grown subjects. In addition, we're 
also going to age them artificially later on, so | 
assume that this is redundant and 
unnecessary. Is there a reason that I'm not 
seeing? 


Thanks for your time,

SUBJECT: Re: Re: Ethics Committee Vote - 
Project Milliard 


Dr. Paulos, 


| believe | can answer this question. 
Essentially, in order for Project Milliard to 
function properly, the subject needs to be fully 
loyal to the Foundation. Procedure MILLIARD- 
ASTRAL makes the subject extremely 
suggestible, and even the slightest amount of 
bias can cause the subject to switch to 
somebody else's side. There's another reason 
for it, although it's quite complicated. 


Now, you know everybody has a brain. 
Pretend like each brain is built in a completely 


different way, but there are two types of brains 
that mostly everybody's resembles: Type A 
and Type B. In order for Procedure MILLIARD- 
ASTRAL to work correctly, we need a Type B 
brain. As for why we need them to be young, 
well, the hallucinogenics required to implant 
memories of complete loyalty simply work 
better when they're young. We can't guarantee 
full viability in an older subject. 


| hope that answers your questions. 
- Milliard

SUBJECT: Re: Re: Re: Ethics Committee 
Vote - Project Milliard 


Dear Dr. Milliard, 


| think | have found a solution to this problem 
that doesn't require the dulling process 
described earlier. First, we identify a Type B 
subject among our current pool of D-class 
personnel. Then, we give them a strong 
dosage of Class-F amnestics and personality 
restructuring agents, essentially destroying the 
subject's long-term memory and personality. 


Then, we continue with the hallucinogenic 
agent treatment and MILLIARD-ASTRAL, until 
the subject is suitable for use in Project 
Milliard. Using this method, rather than using 
anywhere from 3-10 infant lives (depending on 
the success rate of the procedure), we will only 
have to use one of our already-condemned D- 
class personnel. 


Thank you for your consideration,

SUBJECT: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ethics Committee 
Vote - Project Milliard 


Dr. Paulos, 


As much as | would like to take these actions, 
there are some problems. 


First of all, the personality restructuring agents 
that are currently in the Foundation's 
possession irreversibly damage the frontal 
lobe, which needs to be intact in order for 
Procedure MILLIARD-ASTRAL to take place. 


Secondly, simply due to the nature of the Type 
B brain, Class-F amnestic treatment is 
impossible. You see, Type B brains are 
actually more resistant to the chemical 
treatment, making amnestic treatment difficult. 
However, this resistance is developed in the 
late 20's, meaning that younger subjects are 
more easily treated with amnestic compounds. 


Thirdly, we are unlikely to find a Type B brain 
in any D-class. In most cases, Type-B subjects 
are orderly and tend to be lawful or 
submissive. Most of these people are not D- 
class and are therefore out of our reach. 


Again, my sincerest apologies. 


- Milliard

SUBJECT: Objection to Project Milliard 


Dear Chairman Elton, 


With all due respect, | fail to see the purpose 
of Project Milliard. 


There isn't a purpose that Project Milliard 
fulfills that isn't already fulfilled by our CK- 
Class scenario detectors or the observation 
network we already have throughout the 
internet. Almost all anomalies currently in 
containment are protected under these two 
programs. 


As for the Interspace Entities, we already have 
enough of a weapons payload to blow them 
out of the sky, if need be. | won't worry. 


Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Re: Objection to Project Milliard 


To Dr. Paulos, 


I've attached last year's containment breach 
statistics to this email. The important detail is 
what, exactly, caused these containment 
breaches. Out of the 41 containment breaches 
we had in 2017, three were caused by gross 
negligence. Five were caused by equipment 
failure. Seven were caused by improperly 
documenting and/or classifying anomalies. 
The remainder were caused by unexpected 
behavior on the part of hostile reality-bending 
entities. 


You must realize that rendering several people 
comatose is far outweighed by the potential to 
stop these breaches before they happen. Yes, 
we have CSD's and all the other paratech. But 
it still isn't enough. 


We have to weigh the costs here, Paulos. If 
taking an infant straight from their mother is 
the only way, it's the only way.

To whom it may concern, 


As of the time of this writing, | am officially 
resigning from the Ethics Committee. It's come 
to my attention that actions that are clearly 
cruel and unnecessary have been approved by 
a majority consensus of the Committee. | 
cannot be a part of a body that approves these 
actions and still live with a good conscience. 
Retirement is the only option for me. 


In addition, | will also resign from any other 
duties | currently hold in the Foundation, save 
for those required under Severence Package 
09. | have already prepared a replacement for 
myself on the Ethics Committee, so this 
transition should be seamless. 


| bid all of my colleagues a final farewell. You 
were all great people to work with.

Editor's Note: Additionally, the following document was 
recovered from a deepwell server in Site-01 during our 
scavenging of the area. Cognitohazardous language has 
been removed. 


To the O5 Council, 


| am retiring. However, in reality, | will continue 
to perform my duties for the Foundation. 


| volunteer myself to be the subject for Project 
Milliard. I've had the necessary tests 
preformed on me, and | match all conditions 
required for the subject, including general 
brain structure. If you look at my disciplinary 
record, | believe that | have no marks 
whatsoever. On pain of termination, | swear 
that | am completely loyal to the Foundation 
and that | will remain loyal to the Foundation 
for the remainder of my lifespan. In addition, 


due to my maturity, there is a higher likelinood 
that Procedure MILLIARD-ASTRAL will 
succeed.

Addendum 02: 09/30/2000 Progress Report of Project Milliard 
PROJECT STATUS 


Project Milliard subject (Name: , Designation: SCP-3296- 
B) has been successfully prepared. 


Project Milliard satellite (Designation: SCP-3296-A) has been 
launched into Mid-Earth orbit. 


As per O5 Order #4545 ("Classification of Thaumiel-class 
Projects"), Project Milliard and all associated components have 
been classified as SCP-3296. Project Milliard has been deemed 

successful.

SPECIAL ADDENDUM 3296.1: Incident Report 3296- 
Alpha 


On 06/20/2018, the Avian Division noted a series of 
messages found within databanks at Site-54, dated to 
05/11/2018. These messages are believed to have 
originated from SCP-3296. Transcripts of these 
messages are recorded below: 


I'm awake now. | assume this was successful?

Test Material: A twenty-minute ballet for eight dancers (four male 
and four female), described in Rudolf Laban's "Labanotation" system 
for recording human movement. 


Results: Notation indicates that halfway through the ballet, a fifth 
male dancer walks onstage, looks at the other dancers, shrugs his 
shoulders, and walks off. 


Date: / / 

Test Material: A logic puzzle (as published in [REDACTED] logic 
puzzle magazine), describing how five different people took their 
driving tests, in five different vehicles, on five different days, and 
made five different errors; as is standard for logic puzzles of this 
sort, solvers are to determine which student drove which vehicle and 
made which error on which day. 


Results: A driving examiner named Fred is mentioned as having 
been present during all tests. Upon subsequent questioning, 
SCP-423 was able to correctly state which driver made which error 
in which vehicle on which day. When asked how it knew this, 
SCP-423 did not explain the series of logical inferences, deductions, 
and conclusions by which such puzzles are typically solved, but 
rather simply stated that it "was right there the whole time".

Test Material: The Gardens of the Moon, by Steven Erikson 


Results: The Dramatis Personae in the start of the book now 
mentions Reader, a soldier in the Bridgeburners, and Fred, a Daru 
patron of the Phoenix Inn. In the second chapter, following the fall of 
Pale, the Bridgeburners that arrive for Hairlock include a fifth person, 
who is unnamed and doesn't speak, but can later be identified as 
Reader. In many subsequent encounters with the Bridgeburners, the 
soldier Reader is also present. This character doesn't have any 
lines, and is normally found with a book in his hand.
