| tend to think of myself as an impartial observer. The 
Foundation concerns itself with facts, and facts do not 
depend on perspectives. I'm starting to wonder whether 
that was naive. | knew the facts of monastic life here 
perfectly, but until two days ago, | failed to grasp their 
impact. 


Facts: Monasteries like this one strive for three mental 
states. Amoha, non-delusion; advesa, non-hatred; and 
alobha, non-attachment. Emotional ties to worldly 
matters are considered poisonous. Impact: Is it only 
because of my cultural biases that SCP-3209 appears 
harmful? Where is the line between apathy and alobha? 
Is Rajiv Sakya a victim, or has he approached 
enlightenment? 


My instinct is to recommend capture of all cultivated 
populations of Sevenia acedia and administration of 
amnestics to everyone involved. It would be simpler; 
cleaner. It would also be an inexcusable mistake. These 
populations are already contained. They pose no threat 
to civilians. We have no justification to destroy the 
centuries of tradition and history that have developed at 
monasteries like Tergar Gompa. If we erase every part of 
human culture capable of harm, will anything be left?

Got home today. I'm still adjusting to how much warmer it 
is here. My son was so excited to have me back. He's 
been making all these little finger-paintings. | didn't care 
about them. | didn't care about anything he said or did. 
I've always been overjoyed to see him after a long trip. 
No matter how hard | try, | cannot find that feeling now. 


My son is only four years old and | have lost interest in 
him. That's what SCP-3209 took from me. 


| stand by my previous statements. 


SCP-3210: Alternative Facts 


Item #: SCP-3210 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Area 3210 is to be built around 
SCP-3210-A, with at least one kilometer between the edge of 
SCP-3210-A and the perimeter of Area 3210. An electrified fence 
five meters tall is to be built 300m outside of SCP-3210-A. This 
fence is to have guard towers positioned every 500m. Any instances 
of SCP-3210-B who attempt to reach this fence are to be 
terminated. 


In the case that an instance of SCP-3210-B breaches this fence, 
MTF Alpha-19 ("Alt-Fight") are to respond. Once containment has 
been reestablished, the interior fence and the border of Area 3210 is 
to be expanded in order to maintain the proper distances. 


Knowledge of the existence of SCP-3210 is restricted to personnel 
assigned to SCP-3210 and the O5 Council. Other personnel or 
civilians who learn information relating to SCP-3210 are to be 
amnesticized. Standard disinformation protocol is to be employed in 
order to conceal the existence of Area 3210 from unauthorized 
persons. 


The use of Scranton-class Reality Anchors inside of SCP-3210-A is 
strictly prohibited. 


Description: SCP-3210 is the collective designation for the town of 
Ridgefort, Michigan, the surrounding area, and its inhabitants. 
SCP-3210-A is a geographic area encompassing the town of 
Ridgefort and approximately 27km? outside, mostly to the south. 
SCP-3210-B is the designation given to anomalous individuals 
residing within SCP-3210-A. There are 323 instances of SCP-3210- 
B, eleven of which were originally Foundation personnel and the rest 
of which are native to Ridgefort. 


Subjects inside SCP-3210-A, such as instances of SCP-3210-B, 
experience ZK-class reality and perception alteration. As such, 
different personnel perceive and interact with SCP-3210-A 
differently. The appearance and content of SCP-3210-A is unique to 
every individual. Subjects with conflicting perceptions of SCP-3210- 
A often report each other performing impossible feats, such as 
walking on air or disappearing spontaneously. However, no actions 
have occurred that would be impossible from the relevant subject's 
perspective. 


Variations between subjects are more minor on the peripheries of 
SCP-3210-A, generally manifesting as insignificant changes in 
textures. Variations are stronger closer to the geographic center of 
SCP-3210-A and often manifest as inconsistencies between entire 
buildings or streets. This phenomenon also affects recorded images 
and representations, which has complicated exploration and 
documentation. Subjects may perceive any visual or audio content 
related to SCP-3210-A uniquely, including photographs, videos, and 
computer-generated representations. 


Items necessary for survival of SCP-3210-B instances, such as food 
and potable water, are replenished in stores throughout SCP-3210- 
A by anomalous means. Instances of SCP-3210-B do not find this 
strange, though they do react with confusion and fear to the other 
anomalous phenomena exhibited in SCP-3210-A. The culture of 
SCP-3210-B is mostly consistent with early 2000s Midwest 
American culture, with the notable exception that sports are not 
popular among the majority of SCP-3210-B instances. 


Subjects who enter SCP-3210-A begin experiencing altered 
perception after between approximately half an hour and four days 
of exposure. From this point on they become instances of 
SCP-3210-B and exhibit the same anomalous properties. 
SCP-3210-B only exist inside of SCP-3210-A; when an instance of 
SCP-3210-B attempts to exit SCP-3210-A, SCP-3210-A expands in 
that direction. SCP-3210-A has grown 23kmé? since it was contained. 


Addendum 01: Excerpts from Document 3210-r (Exploration Logs) 
Mission 3210-08 


Clef vanished in the aftermath of the event. Surveillance showed 
that at certain times, the entire swarm of SCP-408 would descend 
on the body, only to leave no trace of the corpse behind. 
Subsequent testing shows a proportional increase in IQ, although a 
lack of cooperation when questioned has shed no light on this 
development. 


Interview Log 408-c 
Interviewer: Dr. | Saghai Interviewee: SCP-408 


Dr. Saghai is seated within the aviary, while SCP-408 
hovers around a large feeding trough filled with sugar 
water. 


Dr. Saghai: I'll start off with asking how you’re 
recovering, you seem to have lost quite a bit of your 
mass after the SCP-531-D termination. 


<SCP-408 responds by uniformly creating words one 
after the other.> 


SCP-408: KONDRAKI...WHERE? 


Dr. Saghai: I’m his substitute for the interview, as he 
happens to be busy adjusting to his new promotion. Lots 
of paperwork I’m told.

00:00:10 Washington: All present. Let's move in. 


00:24:06 Washington: Approaching the town. 


00:37:20 Madison: Do you see that? Over there, by the 
lamppost. Looks like a ghost. 

00:37:28 Jefferson: Command, you getting this? | don't 
think it sees us. It's not really moving either. 

00:37:32 Madison: Should we shoot it? 

00:37:34 Washington: Negative. Do not engage the 
specter unless absolutely necessary. That's not our 
mission. 

00:37:37 Madison: Roger. 

00:44:56 Roosevelt: Let's check out this house. 
00:45:03 Washington: Roger. Jefferson, Lincoln, check 
around the back. Adams, Madison, keep watching the 
street and holler if anything comes. Roosevelt, with me. 
00:45:05 Lincoln: Let's head in. 

00:46:00 Jefferson: Door's locked. I'm gonna bust it. 
00:46:19 Jefferson: This place is a pig sty. 

00:46:21 Lincoln: For real. This guy needs a vacuum 
cleaner, or something. My place was tidier in college. 
00:47:02 Jefferson: All clear in here. 

00:47:07 Lincoln: This room looks interesting, I'm gonna 
check it out. 

00:47:07 Washington: That's a creepy painting. 
00:47:10 Roosevelt: What painting? 

00:47:11 Jefferson: Lincoln? 

00:47:12 Washington: You don't see the painting? 


Roosevelt, I'm going to need an update on what you see. 
00:47:14 Roosevelt: Uh, a living room. Dark wood walls, 
mostly unadorned. Shotgun above the mantle. There's a 
comfortable looking couch against the right wall anda 
glass coffee table covered in books. There's also a 
partially eaten salad. 

00:47:20 Washington: Okay, that's mostly consistent 
with what | see. 

00:49:21 Washington: Check the cellar. 

00:49:22 Roosevelt: Roger. 

00:47:43 Jefferson: What the fuck? He was just here. 
00:49:56 Roosevelt: It's full of wine. 

00:50:01 Adams: Nice lawn here. 

00:50:04 Madison: Yeah, dude's got a birdbath and 
everything. 

00:50:08 Roosevelt: There's a corpse down here too. 
Missing its head. 

00:52:04 Washington: Where's Lincoln? 

00:52:07 Jefferson: | don't know. It's like he just 
disappeared. 

00:52:16 Washington: Everybody check in. Washington. 
00:52:18 Madison: Madison. 

00:52:18 Jefferson: Jefferson. 

00:52:20 Roosevelt: Roosevelt. 

00:52:21 Adams: Adams. 

00:52:24 Washington: Shit. 

00:52:48 Washington: Command, we've lost contact 
with Lincoln. 

00:53:02 Adams: That didn't take long. | thought 
Madison would be the first to go. 

00:53:06 Madison: Fuck off. 

00:53:20 Roosevelt: We should continue. 


01:12:09 Washington: | see someone. Looks like a 
human. 

01:12:31 Washington: It's a kid. 

01:12:38 Roosevelt: Who wants to talk to it? 

01:12:40 Washington: Jefferson, come with me. It might 
have valuable intel. 

01:12:42 Jefferson: Roger. I'm good with kids. 


01:12:45 Madison: Honestly | find kids creepier than 
ghosts. 

01:12:48 Roosevelt: I'm with you there, brother. 
01:13:06 Jefferson: Hi there. We're looking for the 
mayor. Do you know where he is? 

01:13:11 Jefferson: Just to talk. 

01:13:16 Jefferson: For the ghosts. No, you can't shoot 
it. The recoil alone could break your shoulder. 

01:13:42 Jefferson: And your parents know where the 
mayor is? 

01:14:03 Jefferson: Thanks, kid. 

01:14:57 Washington: Same deal as before. Kid says 
there are people in here who know where the mayor is. 
Jefferson, stick with us. 

01:15:00 Jefferson: Roger. | like teams of three better 
anyways. 

01:15:00 Madison: Okay, we'll watch the street again. 
01:15:01 Roosevelt: Roger. Let's go. 

01:20:10 Washington: Specter five o'clock! 

01:20:11 Roosevelt: Motherfucker! 

01:20:14 Roosevelt: It stabbed my fucking leg! 
01:20:17 Jefferson: Oh shit, oh shit. 

01:20:23 Roosevelt: Oh Jesus fuck, I'm gushing. I'm 
going to die. 

01:20:24 Jefferson: Look at his leg. Looks like it 
might've got an artery. Rose, you got a first aid kit? 
01:20:25 Roosevelt: I'm going to fucking die. You can't 
bandage this. 

01:20:28 Washington: Tango down. Command, 
Roosevelt is bleeding rather badly. Requesting 
evacuation. Jefferson, if we don't find people in here then 
that kid lied to us, unless his parents are specters, which 
| doubt. 

01:20:28 Jefferson: | can try. 

01:20:29 Roosevelt: It's not going to help. 

01:20:37 Washington: Alright then. Command says 
we've been affected by the skip so evac is off the table. 
01:21:00 Adams: You hear that noise? 

01:21:06 Madison: | hear it. I'm going to get a better 
look. It's just in the other side of that wall. 


01:21:07 Roosevelt: It hurts so much. 

01:21:08 Adams: How? You gonna climb the wall? 
01:21:14 Madison: There's a staircase. | guess you 
don't see it though. 

01:21:16 Adams: | don't. Looks like a concrete wall to 
me. 

01:21:54 Adams: Woah. Looks like you're climbing air. 
01:22:24 Roosevelt: Wash, behind you! 

01:22:25 Washington: Oh fuck. 

01:22:29 Jefferson: Oh no, no. 

01:22:32 Jefferson: Command, Roosevelt and 
Washington are down. Requesting immediate cessation 
of the mission. 

01:22:35 Roosevelt: Don't bother, mate. Finish the... 
mission... | ain't gonna... just go... 

01:22:35 Adams: What do you see? 

01:22:38 Madison: Not much, honestly. More buildings. | 
have the feeling you wouldn't be able to see them even if 
you could get up here. This place looks different to 
everyone. Makes me wonder why we even have 
cameras, because Command is probably seeing different 
stuff than us half the time. Honestly I'm surprised our 
comms work at all with all the essokinetic fuckery. 
Lincoln could still be alive for all we know, just unable to 
communicate with the radio. 

01:22:38 Roosevelt: Oh good God... 

01:22:40 Jefferson: | think so. You didn't properly brief 
us on these specters though. Roosevelt is bleeding out 
and Washington's head exploded. We're down to half the 
team and it's been... Jesus, an hour and a half. 

01:22:47 Jefferson: Well, they're definitely susceptible 
to bullets. But they came out of literally nowhere. Second 
One appeared between me and Wash and got him before 
he had a chance to react. 

01:22:58 Jefferson: Roger. Madison, Adams, I'm exiting 
the house. 

01:24:00 Jefferson: How did Madison get up there? 
01:24:03 Adams: He walked. 

01:24:08 Jefferson: Walked? There's nowhere to walk. 
01:24:09 Adams: Maybe not to us, but he sees a 


staircase. So he can walk on it. Same way Link 
disappeared | think, he entered a room that to us didn't 
exist and then couldn't get back. His comm probably 
stopped working because it can't communicate between 
his reality and ours. Or he died, one of the two. 

01:24:17 Jefferson: It looks like he's floating twenty feet 
above the ground. 

01:24:20 Madison: Freaky, right? I'm standing ona 
balcony to someone's house. Not going in though. We 
need to keep moving. 


01:56:30 Jefferson: Let's check out the CVS. 

01:56:32 Madison: Sure. You do the talking. I'm gonna 
steal some candy. 

01:56:36 Adams: Don't steal the candy you idiot. 
01:57:02 Jefferson: Hello ma'am, we're looking for the 
mayor. 

01:57:10 Jefferson: Uh, current. Name of Warner, | 
believe? 

01:57:21 Jefferson: Wonderful, thank you. 

02:00:02 Madison: Where did Adams go? 

02:00:10 Jefferson: What the hell? 

02:00:17 Jefferson: Check in. Jefferson. 

02:00:19 Madison: Madison. 

02:00:28 Jefferson: Nothing from Adams. For fuck's 
sake. 

02:00:30 Madison: That's a bad fucking sign. 

02:00:32 Jefferson: Command, we're down to two. Still 
no sign of the mayor. Requesting... Fuck it. 


02:48:09 Madison: Uh, where are you going, Jefferson? 
02:48:11 Jefferson: Straight ahead. 

02:48:13 Madison: That looks like a wall to me. | see 
roads to the left and right, but not straight. 

02:48:16 Jefferson: You don't? 

02:48:30 Jefferson: Command, we are seeing very 
different road layouts. Don't think we'll be able to go this 
direction together. Please advise. 

02:48:56 Jefferson: If you say so. Madison, we need to 
find an alternative route. Splitting up at this point for any 


reason is an invitation for disaster. 


03:21:46 Jefferson: Another house. Let's check it out. 
03:21:50 Madison: Alright, let's go in. Please don't 
disappear on me. This is not somewhere I'd want to be 
alone. 


03:32:02 Jefferson: All clear in this room.
