Agent Jones: No, no, it definitely can't hear. 
Either that or the suit and water is blocking any 
sound it would hear anyway. But it's moving. 


DSRV Base: How do you know it's moving? 
Agent Jones: | feel it- it's a- hot spot. On my 


head, as a headache. I'm watching it shift to 
the other side of the room. It's a fuzzy spot in 


my vision, like I'm looking at a bright light. The 
spot moves just like my headache does. The 
headache- it's on my left temple now. It's 
moving to the left side of the room to stop us 
from exiting. 


DSRV Base: If you feel it necessary, move 
faster to exit the hatch. When you exit, tell us, 
and we will immediately reel in the line. 


Agent Jones: It wouldn't chase us. 


DSRV Base: How do you know this? Please 
make an effort to remember what you are 
feeling right now, for the purposes of later 
interview and analysis. 


Agent Jones: It's- fuck, fuck, my head- 
DSRV Base: Is Garcia safe? 


Agent Jones: (/ow volume) He's right here. 
Look, | don't want to go past this thing. If | 
went for the hatch now, | would be walking 
through it. The thought of doing that is- | have 
a very strong feeling that | shouldn't. 


DSRV Base: If it is noncorporeal, you are 
most likely safe to walk through it, even if you 
perceive that it is occupying a physical space. 


Agent Jones: No, no, fuck no. This is 
different. This thing is here. | see it as- little 
shapes swimming around in my vision. It's 
trying to get in my head. 


DSRV Base: Do you have cognitohazard 
resistance training? 


Agent Jones: No. I'm a fucking scuba diver, 
not a memeticist. We don't deal with shit like 
this. You know that. 


DSRV Base: If you are ill-equipped to block 
out emotional interference from an anomalous 
entity, | would still advise both of you to simply 
proceed through the area as fast as possible. 
You are running out of air. 


Agent Jones: (/ow volume) | can't do this. 
Garcia can't either, he looks like he's going to 
pass out. | would rather run out of air than 
(unintelligible) and it's staring at me. It's staring 
right at me. It's staring through me. It just 
made this noise, this ringing noise in my head, 
it's making my vision go blue and my ears 
bleed. (unintelligible) | think it wants me. 


DSRV Base: If you are unsafe, there is no- 


Distortion, scraping, and unintelligible 
vocalizations are heard. 23-second radio 
silence. 


Agent Jones: No, no, no- (distorted) 
DSRV Base: Report on your status. 


Agent Jones: (/ow volume) It got in me. It got- 
It (unintelligible) 


DSRV Base: You have less than ten minutes 
of air supply left. If you are unaffected, you 
need to exit immediately. Where is Garcia? 


20-second radio silence. 
Agent Jones: (distorted) Safe. 


DSRV Base: Okay. If you are both safe, then 
exit immediately. Where is the entity? 


Agent Jones: Un... present. 


DSRV Base: The entity is no longer present? 


(unintelligible interference) 
Agent Jones: The entity is no longer present. 
DSRV Base: Return to the vehicle. 


Agent Jones: (unintelligible) The vehicle. | am 
coming. 


DSRV Base: Affirmative. 


47-second radio silence. Upon retrieval, Agent 
Jones does not respond to questioning, nor 
does he allow the vehicle crew to reel in the 
safety line for a faster exit. Following their 
return, Agents Jones and Garcia are moved to 
Site-3069 for questioning and medical 
treatment, respectively. 


Afterword: Due to events outlined in the above 
log, Agent Jones was detained on-site in 
Site-3069's medical wing for the purposes of 
determining his mental state and any manners 
in which the undefined anomaly affected him. 
However, as Agent Jones' rapidly declining 
health prevented thorough communication 
from taking place, no interview was conducted 
before he expired. Advanced autopsy 
determined the following results: The cause of 
death was a heart attack, presumably 
triggered by a blocked artery. In the brain, 
abnormally high levels of dopamine and 
serotonin were found.'7 Several unidentified 
substances'8 were found both on Agent 
Jones' skin and in his bloodstream, despite the 
fact that no leakages were present in his 
scuba suit or oxygen tank following extraction. 
Agent Jones' body was marked as biologically 
hazardous, and incinerated following autopsy 
completion.

Interview Log 2A: Discussion of Hull Breach 


Foreword: On March 10th, 2021, four days 
after the death of Agent Jones, a breach in 
Site-3069's northeastern external hull was 
detected. After the wing's security and 
pressure-detection system automatically 
sealed off the affected section, a repair 
excursion was made into the area in question 
after it had fully filled with water. On-Site 
Response Team C4, equipped with standard 
protective scuba and repair equipment, was 
tasked with investigating the breach. Due to 
the low severity level of this assignment, audio 
and video recording equipment was not 
present when the following events occurred; 
these events are the eyewitness of team 
leader Maxwell Swain, collected in an 
interview with Site Security Director Mallory 
Wickerford. Said interview is transcribed 
below. 


Begin Log: 03/10/21 16:30:17 


Wickerford: Good afternoon. My name is 
Wickerford, and I'm the director of security at 
Site-3069. We need to ask you a few 
questions to clarify what you and your crew 
witnessed earlier today when you repaired a 
breach in the Site's hull. Are you alright with 
that? 


Swain: Yeah, yeah, of course. We've met 
once before, | thought. 


Wickerford: We may have, yes. Now, can | 
start by asking you if you noticed anything 
abnormal about the water that filled the 
affected section after the hull breached? 


Swain: No, the water itself wasn't abnormal. 
Pressure was pretty normal, too, even fora 
malfunction, but that might just be because we 
gave it time to fill. 


Wickerford: Right. 


Swain: The four of us didn't notice at first, 
because it didn't look like a person just due to 
the shape. But when we noticed, Garcia 
recognized her immediately and started 
panicking. 


Wickerford: And this is the subject Garcia 
claims physically resembles Teresa Lockwood, 
a task force agent who was declared missing 
in action four days ago? 


Swain: He claims it because it's her. | hate to 
phrase it so blunt, but | recognized her face 
too, just from seeing her in the hallways 
around here. She's pretty distinctive-looking, | 
guess is what did it. | always recognized her in 
the hallways at work, so | immediately 
remembered whose face | was looking at on 
this thing. 


Wickerford: Can you elaborate on the state of 
what 'this thing’ was? Are you saying that this 
was her body and she was deceased? 


Swain: Well, it was her, | think. But her body 
must have gotten torn up when it got sucked 
into the hull breach hole, just because of the 
pressure difference. She was still wearing 
remains of a scuba suit — | could see it 
around her waist and chest — but it was all 
torn-up. 


Wickerford: Can you confirm that she 
appeared fully deceased? Would your team 


theoretically be capable of retrieving the body? 
Swain: How would she not be dead after that? 


Wickerford: | understand your reasoning, but 
there may have been anomalous materials or 
entities affecting her in unknown ways 
following her disappearance within SCP-3069. 
Ideally, we would want to do a full autopsy on 
her body to determine what occurred on-board 
the device. 


Swain: The ‘device’? | haven't heard it 
described that way before. Do you guys think 
this thing has a function still? 


Wickerford: Can you clarify on what you 
mean by 'still'? 


Swain: | mean, clearly it used to serve some 
purpose, but it's abandoned and defunct now. 
That's what we found in that exploration, right? 
The one where they lost Teresa? 


Wickerford: I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to 
discuss any details along those lines. 


Swain: What? Hang on, is there something 
that makes you think it's still active and used 
by- 


Wickerford: That's all | can say on the topic, 
my apologies. Now, would you mind 
confirming once more that you are certain 
Teresa's body was fully dead? 


Swain: | guess | couldn't say, then, given what 
you think about whatever happened on-board. 
| mean, yeah, she looked dead. 


Wickerford: Noted. Could your team retrieve 
the body? We're still not quite clear on what 


happened to the body when the breach was 
repaired and the water expelled from the area. 


Swain: (hesitates) I- I'm not sure. Her body 
was quite a few feet from us, and the water 
was murky enough that if she'd drifted any 
further back, she'd have been out of sight. 


Wickerford: | don't quite envision what you're 
describing, I'm afraid. Are you saying that the 
water was too dark for you to see where the 
body went when it drifted off in the direction 
opposite from you? 


Swain: Yeah, exactly. The headlamp beams 
just couldn't go that far through the water, and 
when we repaired the breach, well- I'll be 
honest, we're not used to seeing that sort of 
thing, so we were alittle on-edge andina 
hurry to get out of there. We did our job and 
when we didn't see her body drift back toward 
us, we left as per standard procedure. 


Wickerford: Understandable, alright. But why 
is her body not within that particular section of 
the wing now that the hull has been restored 
and the section re-opened? 


Swain: |- | couldn't say, honestly. There's- 
(hesitates) 


Wickerford: Was there anything visibly 
unusual about the body? 


Swain: That's what | was about to point out, 
but it was such a quick glimpse that | feel like | 
can't confirm what | saw. 


Wickerford: Understood, but please describe 
it for later analysis anyway. 


Swain: Alright. You know that device the Site 
is built around? The stick stuck in the mud? It's 
in the middle observation area, right around 
Access Point Three. 


Wickerford: That device is SCP-3069-A, yes. 
I'm familiar with it. 


Swain: You know that light it emits? That 
almost-blue shade of dark green? 


Wickerford: Yes. 


Swain: | saw that color. That color light, ina 
string. I'm having trouble describing this 
because | only noticed it for a second. It was 
really faint, only visible for a short time before 
her body drifted out of sight. 


Wickerford: You saw a device similar to 
SCP-3069-A, you mean? 


Swain: No, not a full-on device like that thing, 
just the same color. (hesitates) | know this 
sounds uncertain, but you know what I'm 
talking about. It's a very weird color, almost 
dark, like too dark to be light waves, not bright 
enough. And hurts your eyes like an ultraviolet 
bulb does. You know what | mean, you've 
seen 3069-A emit it, everyone talks about how 
weird it is. It was definitely that color; no one 
could miss it. 


Wickerford: Yes, I'm familiar with its oddity. 
How was this light present? 


Swain: It was... coming out of her. In little 
strings. | don't know how to word it, | only saw 
it for a second and it was- it- felt weird to look 
at it, like | was looking at something that wasn't 
supposed to be there, like a mirage. There 


SCP-379: Mechanical Pheromone 


Item #: SCP-379 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-379 is to be kept in vault- 
at Sector - whennotin use. When being transported it should 
be carried in a locked and padded container, such as a padded 
briefcase, as the bottle is fragile. As our supply is limited, all testing 
and experimentation must be authorized by Dr. beforehand. 


Description: SCP-379 is a translucent, pale, silver liquid contained 
in a small crystal bottle. The bottle is topped with an atomizer cap 
which delivers approximately one-half (.5) ml of the clear substance 
inside the bottle. 


The bottle itself has no noted properties of any particular interest. 
However, the liquid inside (while scentless and ineffective to normal 
human beings) has the strange effect of inducing a state not unlike 
human infatuation upon electronic and mechanical devices. When 
applied to a person or some object, any machines or electronics in 
the vicinity (aside from those wearing SCP-379) will begin running in 
an overheated state, unable to process as many commands and 
consuming more energy. 


For cybernetic systems or computers deemed ‘sentient’, the target 
seems to exhibit more humanistic qualities of typical ‘infatuation’ 
including: 


* A preference to be around or in contact with the wearer of 
SCP-379. 

¢ More willingness to cooperate with anyone in the room while 
the wearer of SCP-379 is present. 

¢ Slower response times in machines. 

* Aslightly higher chance of minor glitches and malfunctions. 


were these- these little strings of light, coming 
out of her mouth and out between her legs and 
sort of coiled around her leg where the suit 
was torn. 


Wickerford: Out of her mouth and- 


Swain: Like a few thick strings of just that 
color light. Like there were thin cables, but 
they were glowing that same color. It was- 
ugh, it was awful to look at, I'm having trouble 
wording it. 


Wickerford: Take your time. You don't need 
to be uncomfortable. 


Swain: I'm fine, it's just - | don't know how to 
describe it other than it looking like someone 
had taken this bunch of five or six cords and 
just threaded them through her body. In one 
end and out the other, like just straight through 
her. Like a pig on a spit. 


Wickerford: Noted. 


Swain: And that other glowing thing, the 
device we built the site around? It's clearly 
made of the same stuff. And we already know 
that that thing is what causes Access Point 
Three's boundary in the first place. It's the- the 
transporter thing, you know what I'm saying. | 
can't find my words because this is making me 
nervous. 


Wickerford: It's understandable, but try to 
keep your focus. It seems from your witness 
account that you believe Teresa Lockwood's 
body isn't present in the area in which it was 
previously present not because the water 
drained and it went out with it, but because a 
material with the same extradimensional 


capabilities as SCP-3069-A was present on 
the body? 


Swain: And that activated and removed her 
body. 


Wickerford: Alright, alright. | can see the 
reasoning in that, given what SCP-3069-A 
does, so we'll document it and keep an eye out 
for any future occurrences. Do you have any 
further concerns about this subject, or events 
on which to elaborate? 


Swain: Yeah. 
Wickerford: Alright, go ahead. 


Swain: The strings- | only saw them when | 
looked at her. In the face. Like, trying to find 
her eyes on her face, which were stuck open. 
And once | looked at her, that was when | 
noticed the strings- only once | looked at her 
eyes. And then she was gone. (hesitates) 


Wickerford: Go on. 


Swain: It just makes me nervous. Look, we all 
know what happened to Jones - word gets out. 
[UNCONFIRMED SPECULATIVE 
INFORMATION REDACTED] him, and might 
still be watching. 


Wickerford: You think it wasn't a coincidence 
that her body disappeared right after you 
looked directly at it. Understood. 


Swain: It's that, but it's the similarity to 3069-A 
that worries me. | might just be paranoid. 


Wickerford: What is that, then? 


Swain: Look, if something is watching that 


3069-A material — that stuff that has that 
distinctive color and effects — I'm worried that 
means they're watching the site too. 


Wickerford: This meaning? 


Swain: That if they can use that stuff to whisk 
off a human body when the time is right, they 
might also be able to whisk off the entire site 
when the time is right. 


Wickerford: Access Point Three has been 
determined a stable — if anomalous — point in 
space, and shows no signs of growing, 
shrinking, or failing. 


Swain: Maybe because they're watching you 
measure it.
