SCP-3228: Well,"father" is what he wanted us to call 
him. | was one of a number of his "children". He told us 
that we had been gifted life, that we were something 
more than the humans of this world. But, he was never 
content with what he had. He'd become corrupt by his 
obsession to create something greater, something 
evocative, something to show society its greed and 
destructive nature. Even after claiming that he had finally 
made the "perfect" piece his human-like obsession to his 
work left his old creations ageing unloved, unwanted, 
without a single loving figure in their lives... 


[SCP-3228 hesitates. ] 


SCP-3228: We fought, me and him; the false reality | 
had been led to believe fuelling my anger towards him, 
but when he threatened to take away my existence | ran 
like a coward. When | returned, he'd gone. They'd all 
gone, and only then did | realise how alone | was. 


Dr. McCormick: Have you ever found your "father" 
since? Do you know where your fellow creations are? 


SCP-3228: I've tried to find them, as well as my father, 
ever since; following rumours, gathering information, 
searching dreams for any trace of my siblings so | can 
end my life of solitude... But | guess that will never 
happen now I'm trapped here for eternity. | hope you're 
happy with yourselves for this. 


Dr. McCormick: Is there anything else you can tell us, 


about anything you've said, SCP-3228? 
[Silence.] 


Dr. McCormick: ... | think that'll do for now then.

SCP-3228: [panting] ... What... have you 
done? 


Dr. McCormick: SCP-3228, what's going on? 


SCP-3228: | warned you... | tried to get you to 
stop, but you wouldn't listen. Everything | did 
and you still wouldn't stop... 


Dr. McCormick: Can you elaborate 
SCP-3228? What happened? 


SCP-3228: The moment | went into his mind, | 
could sense it, only stronger this time than 
ever before. So, | went looking for whatever 
this thing was, and | found something... 


Dr. McCormick: | need you to explain this 


more SCP-3228. What happened? What did 
you find? 


SCP-3228: ... An oblivion. A void. In the place 
where his memories should be, there was an 
emptiness. But that presence - the one I've felt 
in all your "D-Classes" - it was more menacing, 
more sinister than ever before, worse than the 
thoughts of man I'm all too familiar with. And 
me being there was making it stronger, as if 
the darkness and the loneliness was feeding 
off of my own conscience. It kept pulling me in 
further, further into the darkness, further than | 
thought there was. | tried resisting, but that 
only dragged me further in, until... Until | 
saw... That thing... No, no... 


[SCP-3228 covers its face in its hands and 
cries out in fear] 


Dr. McCormick: What did you see? 


SCP-3228: ... | can't. | can't do this. You have 
to put an end to this testing - | don't care what 
your superiors say, I'm not going in those 
minds again. | won't risk it. | won't. 


[Dr. McCormick is advised to terminate the 
interview. ] 


Dr. McCormick: ...I'm going to end this here. 
Thank you, SCP-3228.

SCP-3229: A Blessed Sea 


SCP-XXXX limestone formation, note tinged lighting. 


Item #: SCP-3229 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to SCP-3229 
must be monitored by a Foundation naval contingent to prevent any 
unauthorised access. The Foundation nuclear submarine SCPF 
Johansen must remain stationed at the entrance to SCP-3229. In 
the event of a containment breach, Protocol Alert-27 is to be initiated 
immediately. 


Vessels assigned to the Area 55 Containment Force are to report to 
Site Director Yu and assigned to assist in both exploration and 
security efforts when necessary. Submersibles assigned to 
exploration efforts are to report to MTF Gamma-6 Command. All 
submersible exploration efforts are to maintain safe distance of 10 
kilometres from any submerged SCP-3229-A settlement. All 
submersible expedition commanders must have full knowledge of 
Protocol Alert-27. 


Area 55 is the epicentre of a stable perimeter around the western- 
most island in the SCP-3229 archipelago, with efforts being taken to 
expand operations towards the "temple island" north-east of Area 
55. MTF lota-13 and MTF Beta-44 are to aid with the expansion of 
the Foundation held perimeter. If direct confrontation cannot be 
avoided, personnel are permitted to utilise lethal force against 
SCP-3229-A entities. Due to the durability of SCP-3229-A instances, 
small arms fire must be used in overlapping fields of fire. Hollow- 
point rounds are recommended for engagement, if small arms are to 
be used. 


Sample entities of SCP-3229-B are to be contained in a 5 metre by 
5 metre containment tank of reinforced glass. No contact is to be 


made with any SCP-3229-B entity unless cleared by Dr. Iseigo. Any 
experimentation with SCP-3229-B organisms must be undertaken in 
sealed protective gear. Any personnel victim to implantation by 
SCP-3229-B are to be terminated immediately. 


MTF Gamma-6 (Deep Feeders) is to continue investigation into the 
exact nature of SCP-3229-O and account for any further hostile 
presence within SCP-3229. All findings containing information 
relevant to SCP-3229-O are to be reported to Site Director Yu. Any 
encountered SCP-3229-O entity must not be engaged unless 
containment is at risk of being compromised. 


Description: SCP-3229 is a spacial anomaly located within a cave 
system kilometres from the southwest coast of Svalbard. The cave 
itself is situated on an islet approximately 18 square metres. Within 
these caves is an archipelago of 312 islands of varying size, situated 
within an area of approximately square kilometres. This space is 
not reachable by any means other than the cave entrance, and as 
such appears to be separate from this plane of reality. 


The archipelago within SCP-3229 appears to have been inhabited 
by a pre-industrial civilisation which has spread across the entirety 
of SCP-3229. The majority of islands inside SCP-3229 are covered 
in buildings of non-euclidean architecture. These buildings are 
largely constructed of limestone and an unknown coral-like 
substance. Luminescent crystals provide lighting, universally tinged 
in a pale green/yellow. Numerous glyphs are carved across the 
limestone portions of every building discovered in SCP-3229 thus 
far. These glyphs have no known anomalous properties and have 
been partially translated. 


The structures present throughout the archipelago range in size and 
complexity, with the more complex structures present on the larger 
islands within SCP-3229. The two most expansive islands within the 
archipelago are home to a palace structure and a primary temple 
respectively. The temple structure is currently unexplored by 
Foundation personnel, while the palace has been entered and 
multiple items of interest recovered (See Addenda). The palace 
island is lightly inhabited, and evidence suggests that the occupants 
have migrated to a settlement beneath the ocean. Exploration 
attempts by MTF Gamma-6 have since confirmed this hypothesis. 


Further investigation has revealed that SCP-3229-O is responsible 
for the creation of these submerged settlements by [REDACTED]. 
The temple island however has been observed to maintain a 
consistent presence of SCP-3229-A entities, which have been 
observed to grow in numbers at times relating to the lunar cycle. It is 
unknown how SCP-3229-A instances maintain awareness of the 
lunar cycle. It is hypothesised that the SCP-3229-A presence on the 
temple island is directly related to SCP-3229-O, which according to 
recovered antiquity, is to receive communion with the "priesthood" at 
the height of the lunar cycle. 


The structures on the larger islands vary in size, with the majority 
being approximately 6.6 metres in height (2 storeys). The largest 
structure known to the Foundation, the primary temple, is 55 metres 
(16.6 storeys) in height. The majority of the smaller islands surveyed 
by Foundation teams bear minimal signs of life. Inhabited "villages", 
containing small numbers of SCP-3229-A entities, are common. 
Observation has determined that the inhabitants of these villages 
spend a large majority of their time underwater as opposed to 
dwelling inside their constructed houses. The SCP-3229-A instances 
inhabiting the smaller islands do not migrate to the larger 
submerged settlements, but are instead found within reefs and 
similar natural formations close to the coast. It is probable some 
form of social hierarchy exists among SCP-3229-A instances which 
prevents access to the larger submerged settlements.

DATE: 11/04/ 

FOREWORD: The following is an extract from a log 
written by Captain Daniels of the SCPF Emmerson. 
This log details the initial entry of SCP-3229 and the 
exploration of what is now Area 55. 


...everyone in the crew noticed a shift as soon as we 
entered the cave. For one, it got a hell of a lot less cold. 
It was like stepping inside a house from a blizzard 
outside. That kind of contrast. | didn't like it, made my 
second feel uneasy too. The roof of the cave seemed to 
jut upwards suddenly, and the back of the cave opened 


up. We entered the inside of the caves through a river of 
some sort. It was wide enough for the ship. It led out 
through this first island and into the wider space. Further 
out looked like a full sized ocean. Mickie said he could 
see at least three other islands right away, and more of 
those lights in the distance. | made the call to stop where 
we were, set up an FOB. Somehow we could still call 
back to Command outside. 


The men were restless initially. We did a quick survey of 
the island and found nothing. Ruins mostly, all limestone 
and those carvings. Nothing hostile on the surface while 
we secured a perimeter. Some of the men swore that 
something was watching them from the water though. 
Nobody wanted to go too close. We tried testing the 
coastline and the plunge step seems to drop right off. It's 
as if the islands are on stilts. We pulled back from the 
edge of the island when one of the men went missing. 
Barron swears that she saw something jump out of the 
water and drag him down. We've no other witnesses or 
incidents, but if | had to assume anything, it'd be this. 
We're being watched, probed even, with hostile intent. 


We were sleeping in shifts when the first of them tried to 
go for the camp. It was a dozen of them, humanoid but 
definitely not human. They tore through most of the 
camp until we brought the heavier weapons to bear. 
We're still not sure how many men we lost. One of the 
survivors told my second they tried to capture rather than 
kill, he saw them dragging people back under the water. | 
don't even want to consider what they want with the poor 
bastards. 


Strangest thing, one of the men belowdecks reported he 
could hear a rumbling. It was coming from the water, but 
it wasn't one of those things that attacked us. It sounded 
bigger. It sounded like great, booming laughter. 


SCP-3229 is currently inhabited by a number of aquatic and 


amphibious lifeforms unidentified prior to discovery, with the most 
common entity hostile to Foundation personnel being SCP-3229-A. 
SCP-3229-A are humanoid amphibious hybrids that are the primary 
hostile inhabitants of SCP-3229. While some degree of variation 
exists between instances of SCP-3229-A, all entities exhibit a 
collection of common traits: 


* discoloured, blue-grey skin. 

* coral-like growths, commonly found around the cranium and 
protruding from near the shoulder blades. 

¢ Large dorsal fins. 

¢ Glassy eyes. 

¢« Numerous SCP-3229-B instances visible moving beneath the 
skin. 


It is unknown if SCP-3229-A entities remain sentient after the 
implantation of SCP-3229-B. Recorded behaviour suggests at least 
a rudimentary level of sapience, as SCP-3229-A entities are capable 
of ambush and limited strategy. SCP-3229-A entities appear have 
some understanding of religious process, evident by the behaviour 
of SCP-3229-A entities on the temple island. Further investigation is 
required to determine the exact level of intelligence SCP-3229-A 
entities possess. 


SCP-3229-B is a parasitic life-form which is responsible for the 
creation of SCP-3229-A entities. SCP-3229-B are wormlike 
organisms of varying length, commonly 2-4 inches in diameter. 
Instances of SCP-3229-B have a featureless exterior that is covered 
in a liquid produced from the skin of SCP-3229-B. This liquid is 
suspected to be a mutagen, although it is hypothesised to also act 
as a lubricant. The entities enter a host via any available orifice. The 
mouth, eyes or anus are commonly utilised, but SCP-3229-B has 
also been noted entering through artificial orifices in victims, such as 
gunshot wounds or injuries caused by SCP-3229-A. This form of 
implantation is less common, as SCP-3229-B gravitates towards an 
able bodied host. The full process of SCP-3229-B implantation has 
been observed and documented. 


EXPERIMENT LOG 3229-B/01_1 


DATE: / / 
TEST SUBJECT: D-32311 


**AUTHORISATION: Site Director Yu. 
Experiment supervised by Dr. Iseigo. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


00:00: D-3231145 is introduced to testing 
chamber, restrained. 


00:03: SCP-3229-B organism is introduced 
to the testing chamber. D-32311 emits 
audible distress. 


00:05: SCP-3229-B enters D-32311 via 
oral implantation, dislocating D-32311's jaw 
in the process. Attempts at resistance by 
D-32311 are fruitless. 


00:06: D-3231145 (hereby designated as 
"host") begins violent spasms. X-Ray 
indicates the SCP-3229-B organism is 
dividing to spread through the hosts body. 
Initial division begins in the upper 
esophagus. 


00:11: SCP-3229-B has finished it's 
division process. Multiple organisms are 
situated around major organs and along 
muscle tissue. Host has lapsed into shock. 


00:12: SCP-3229-B organisms appear to 
"pulsate". It is hypothesised this action is 
responsible for the dispersal of SCP-3229- 
B's mutagenic properties in a host. 


00:15: Host resumes spasms, however X- 
Ray and audio feeds indicate the host is 
undergoing severe skeletal restructuring. 


Host remains conscious throughout the 
process. 


00:21: Host's skin begins rapid 
discolouration. 


00:25: Multiple growths appear on the 
hosts cranium and around the face. 


00:26: Growths have also appeared along 
the shoulder-blades. No growth has 
currently breached the skin. 


00:30: Protrusions breach the skin, 
revealing the coral-like substance present 
on SCP-3229-A instances. Host's facial 
structure has been largely distorted. 


00:48: Host has finished skeletal 
restructuring. Dorsal fin is now visible and 
lower limbs have become double jointed. 
Hands of SCP-3229-A instance appear 
elongated, with digits 1.5 times the length 
of the original host's. Skin is now taunt, 
revealing altered skeletal structure and 
SCP-3229-B instances. SCP-3229-B 
instances have resumed passive 
movement throughout SCP-3229-A. 


00:50: Host, now designated SCP-3229-A, 
becomes agitated and breaches restraints. 


00:51: Security personnel enter testing 
chamber and attempt to subdue SCP-3229- 
A. 


00:52: SCP-3229-A breaches containment, 
showing marked increase in strength and 
durability. 


00:58: SCP-3229-A instance is terminated
