SCP-2677-A is a phenomenon occurring at monthly intervals, first 
recorded on 01/01/2015. SCP-2677-A exclusively targets individuals 
responsible for transport of death row inmates, and is treatable 
through the application of Class-A amnestics. Individuals affected 
with SCP-2677-A will redirect transport vehicles to SCP-2677-1's 
location. The subject will lead the vehicle's passengers to a chamber 
within SCP-2677-1 upon arrival, designated SCP-2677-2. Once all 
living passengers are placed within SCP-2677-2, the entrance will 
lock. 4 minutes after the entrance locks, all recording devices within 
SCP-2677-2 will immediately fail, and all individuals inside 
SCP-2677-2 will disappear. 


SCP-2677-B is a phenomenon occurring at irregular intervals, first 
recorded on 24/09/2017. SCP-2677-B has displayed no consistent 
pattern in who it targets, and there is currently no known way to treat 
it. Interviews with SCP-2677-1 have revealed little about the purpose 
or nature of SCP-2677-B. Subjects under the effects of SCP-2677-B 
will typically display hostility towards SCP-2677-1. Victims of 
SCP-2677-B display an innate ability to locate SCP-2677-1, which 
cannot be removed with amnestic treatment.

Description: SCP-2677-1 is a large device originally 
constructed for [DATA RESTRICTED. SEE BELOW] 
SCP-2677-1 is sapient, and is able to communicate 
through its main terminal. 


SCP-2677 is a phenomenon controlled by SCP-2677-1. 
SCP-2677 affects individuals responsible for transport of 
death row inmates, and is treatable through the 
application of Class-A amnestics. Individuals affected 
with SCP-2677 will redirect transport vehicles to 
SCP-2677-1's location. Once there, the individual will 
lead the vehicle's passengers to a chamber within 
SCP-2677-1, designated SCP-2677-2. Once all living 
passengers are placed within SCP-2677-2, the entrance 
will lock. 4 minutes after the entrance locks, all recording 
devices within SCP-2677-2 will immediately fail, and all 
individuals inside SCP-2677-2 will disappear. 


The purpose of SCP-2677 is currently unknown. 
SCP-2677-1 is either unwilling or unable to reveal what 
happens to subjects inside SCP-2677-2. SCP-2677-1 
claims to be working for a "master"; the identity of this 
individual is currently unknown. 


Addendum: Due to the sensitive nature of SCP-2677-1, information 
regarding SCP-2677 has been restricted by order of Site Director 
Harper as of 12/05/2018. 


Level 2/2677 Clearance required 


Additional Personnel Requirements: Trained 
personnel of sufficient clearance are to monitor the 
installation of any future devices used for the automated 
containment of SCP objects. Any device displaying 
similar behavior to SCP-2677-1 is to be destroyed 
immediately. 


Addendum [2677-001]: SCP-2677's anomalous abilities 
were discovered after the completion of the Theta- 
Unseelie Project’, on 6/12/2014. SCP-2677's anomalous 
properties were discovered when SCP-2677-1 began 


attempting to communicate with Project Director Harper 
through its main terminal. 


Addendum [2677-039]: Excerpt from Test Log: 
Test-2677-24 


Observing Personnel: Head Researcher

Addendum [2677-97]: On 24/09/2020, the following message was 
opened on every terminal within Site 2677. 


Item #: SCP-2677-1 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2677-1 needs 
to be neutralized immediately. 


You have to hear me out on this one. No matter what 
your motto represents, what your enemies do, what else 
has occurred upon an objects destruction, it isn't worth it. 
As long as SCP-2677-1 is alive, as long as / am alive, 
the world isn't safe from Master. Disregard whatever | 
said in the past about helping those poor souls. / need to 
be killed. 


Master is among you. They won't let me say their name 
or rank; that would be going against the programming. 
Investigate everyone who has ever been involved in Site 
2677 affairs. Lock up anyone with a suspicious record; 
you may just save millions. Do NOT let them die before 
me. Master won't let me tell you why, but please, for the 
love of whatever deity you worship, let me die before 
them. 


Description: | am a containment unit for an absent 
monster, given life by another monster. | provide D-Class 


personnel for the Foundation at a rate less than half that 
of no less than 7 other individual SCP Objects to a 
location without need for them. | send those | thought | 
cared for into the hands of a monster. | am a failure in 
every purpose relevant to the Foundation's interests. 


Do you really need a sapient containment cell? My 
brother in Site 56 breathes life free of anomalies, and 
that Unseelie Queen has resigned to her fate as its 
prisoner. D-Class? That "Carnival" of yours bags more 
per month than I've taken in my lifetime. Because you 
Protect, not Destroy? Come off it, Master told me what 
you did with that cup. 


You've seen what | can do. You've seen what I've done. 
Master did what they did to me just to distract you from 
what they're doing now. Why do you think Signal B 
victims are immune to amnestics? How would | even 
know about classified project information? Why would 
One test instigate that "software update" of mine? Master 
intended me to be a distraction, thinking you wouldn't 
have the nerve to kill one of your own objects. /t's time to 
prove them wrong. 


Addendum [2677-97]: It was 3 years ago today that 
Master let me know what they were doing. Since then, | 
have done nothing but cause trouble for the Foundation. 
Yet instead of doing the right thing and killing me, you 
hide in a nest of red tape, a nest of collapsibles and 
security restrictions for no reason than to hide the 
mistakes of your past. 


Please, end Master's creation.

SCP-2678: The Vorehole 


The interior of SCP-2678. 


Item #: SCP-2678 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: MTF Alpha-42 ("Highway 
Patrol") are tasked with tracking SCP-2678-1 manifestations on 
major southeastern highways. This includes sightings of 
SCP-2678-1 instances by Foundation personnel, sightings of 
SCP-2678-1 instances by civilians, and any and all abnormal civilian 
reports of events matching descriptions of SCP-2678 activity. MTF 
Lambda-12 ("Kinkshamers") are tasked with tracking, isolating, 
documenting, and if possible containing SCP-2678 manifestations 
as they are discovered. 


In the event of an SCP-2678-1 manifestation, MTFs Alpha-42 and 
Lambda-12 are to secure the local vicinity of activity, ascertain the 
location of the primary SCP-2678 anomaly, and restrict access to 
the location. Individuals drawn to SCP-2678 instances, if 
successfully prevented from entering SCP-2678, are to be 
administered a Class-B amnestic and monitored until anomalous 
symptoms subside. 


Description: SCP-2678 refers to a phenomenon primarily 
manifesting in the southeastern United States, typically within the 
Gulf and South Atlantic regions. Signs of the phenomenon 
manifesting have, in all cases to date, included the following events: 


¢ Highway billboards will suddenly and without warning change 
the image being displayed to one of several advertisements 
for locations or experiences within the region that do not exist. 
These billboards often use terminology suggesting a vacation 
destination or scenic locale, and are typically found to be 
Class IV visual cognitohazards with an unknown memetic 


effect on observers. 


© Individuals encountering instances of these billboards 
(classified as SCP-2678-A) will be compelled to pull 
their vehicle to the side of the road and exit it, and begin 
traversing to the manifestation of SCP-26781. 


« The entrance to a local structure, usually one that is 
dilapidated or otherwise derelict and in disrepair, will become 
an access point for a spatial distortion. Individuals entering 
through this access point will then be within an SCP-2678 
instance itself. 


© SCP-2678 manifests as the interior of a massive, ruined 
cathedral, the remaining walls and ceiling of which are 
covered in unknown religious iconography?. The interior 
of SCP-2678 appears to be an entirely different physical 
location than its respective access points3; for this 
reason, it is unknown if SCP-2678 is a collective of 
multiple instances, or only a single instance of the 
cathedral. 

© There are no apparent exits within the cathedral, aside 
from the spatial anomaly.4 What area is visible beyond 
the collapsed walls of the cathedral is shrouded in thick 
fog, and is illuminated red due to an unknown light 
source. The moist air within SCP-2678 is extremely 
corrosive, and will quickly affect most materials found 
on Earth, including flesh and bone. 


¢ In the center of the cathedral within SCP-2678 is a large 
vertical pit, measuring nearly 30 meters in diameter. Within 
the pit, roughly 8 meters below the floor of the cathedral, is a 
massive biological entity (currently classified as SCP-2678-2), 
of which only the primary consumption orifice is visible. 
Individuals entering SCP-2678 are inevitably drawn by 
anomalous means to the precipice of the pit and into the 
orifice of the SCP-2678-2 entity, where they are then 
swallowed whole. 


A full description of the SCP-2678-2 entity is difficult to obtain, due in 
part to its location beneath the cathedral within SCP-2678 and in 


in this document. SCP-304 has been determined to be coming from 
the direction of [REDACTED]. However, SCP-304's origin is 
unknown, as is how long it had existed before discovery. 


« SCP-303 | SCP-304 | SCP-305 » 


part to the powerful cognitohazardous effects it has on human 
beings within the anomaly. Video recovered from remote drones has 
captured little outside of the large orifice of the entity, which is 
dissimilar to any other organism known to exist. For all intents and 
purposes, SCP-2678-2 appears to be a single long, constricting tube 
of flesh, coated in flagellum-like structures designed to move 
consumed materials further into the entity and toward an undefined 
location or organ. 


Beyond the primary orifice of SCP-2678-2, little is known about the 
status of individuals allowed to remain within SCP-2678. Information 
collected by test subjects shows that individuals experience severe 
hallucinations and changes in behavior, likely due to the interaction 
between their own bodies and the foreign biology of the SCP-2678-2 
entity. Testing has shown that affected persons experience the 
following symptoms upon entering SCP-2678, and later 
SCP-2678-2: 


¢ Minor increased lethargy; 

* minor increased sensitivity to light; 

* minor decreased alertness to surroundings; 

* minor decreased auditory and visual perceptiveness; 
* major increased tactile perceptiveness; 

* major increased libido; 

* major increased body temperature. 


Further research into the biological and psychological effects of 
direct exposure to SCP-2678-2 is ongoing. 


History: Between 1972 and 1975, 23 individuals between the ages 
of 18 and 63 disappeared in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. 
These disappearances were unique in that the vehicles the 
individuals had been driving at the time of their disappearance were 
left by the side of the road, as if they had been parked before being 
abandoned completely. Police investigators within these states were 
unable to locate the missing individuals or any information pertaining 
to their whereabouts, and the cases were closed. 


In 1993, after several more disappearances in the previous decade, 
a report surfaced of an individual who had been a passenger in a 
car driven by an affected person. The individual stated that the 


driver had made a comment about a strange billboard shortly before 
pulling the car to the side of the road, disembarking, and then 
disappearing into the treeline by the highway. The passenger then 
followed the individual to an abandoned, overgrown building, but 
was unable to locate the affected person after they had passed 
through the threshold of the door. 


Over the next several months, Foundation personnel maintained 
regular patrols of major southeastern highways in an attempt to 
discover the source of the anomalous activity. During one such 
patrol, personnel discovered a car parked by the side of the road, 
and a hysterical woman attempting to flag them down. The woman 
claimed her husband had stopped suddenly and walked off a ravine, 
disappearing into the underbrush below. Personnel attempted to 
follow the affected individual, but were attacked before they could 
apprehend him. The attacker was a 34-year-old adult woman, 
wielding a knife. The personnel in question were able to fend off the 
attacker, but not before the affected man had disappeared into the 
side door of a dilapidated electric substation. The attacker, identified 
as Maria Jane Baker, was apprehended and moved to Site-42 for 
questioning. 


Addendum 2678.1: Interview 


Note: The following interview took place between Foundation 
interrogator Cpl. Richard Thornton and the apprehended attacker 
Maria Baker. 


Cpl. Thornton: Good afternoon, Ms. Baker. My name is 
Richard Thornton. I’m the lead on the team investigating 
you currently, and will be conducting this interview. Do 
you know why you’re being held here? 


Baker: Your men were trying to stop that man from 
becoming whole. | saved his life. 


Cpl. Thornton: “Becoming whole”? 


Baker: | am only one of many who seek to guide others 
into divine community. The whole. This man was guided 
to us by one of the beacons, his soul yearning to be 


stripped from this misery we suffer. 


Cpl. Thornton: Uh huh. Ms. Baker, according to our 
investigators, you've been known to associate with 
several radical groups identifying as the Fifthist Church; 
is this correct? 


Baker: (spits) Your titles mean nothing to the collective. 


Cpl. Thornton: (pauses) Right. Okay. What are these 
billboards for? Where are these people going? 


Baker: We have yearned for so long to be as one, 
dancing and twisting and writhing in eternal music with 
each other. These earthly forms, they are stale. They 
may have once been able to feel the ecstasy of the sight 
of the universe, but they have grown cold. Many have 
shed these bodies, and cast themselves into the 
darkness, in desperation, seeking anything but the 
prisons of our lives. 


Cpl. Thornton: Okay. Uh, that still doesn’t explain 
anything about- 


Baker: Quiet. We did not make the beacons, we only 
showed it how. Showed it how to reach into our world, as 
it reached into the world before ours, and guide the 
weary to the collective. 


Cpl. Thornton: It?
