8:06 Dr. Clef slumps against the wall and slides down to the ground, 
appearing to weep. Flowering growths on his body wither and die. 


8:08 SCP-408 regains cohesion and begins to swarm around Dr. 
Clef. Visual contact lost. 


Personal log of Dr. A. Clef, SL 


This is [DATA EXPUNGED] previously known as Dr. Clef. | am not 
making this statement out of my own free will, but under compulsion 
from the First Wife. Despite my efforts, | was not able to remove my 
own hearing before a partial command was spoken by SCP-336. I'm 
not sure what she meant to order me to do, but all | remember 
hearing are the words, "Tell me the truth." 


This is the truth. 

... the truth... 

[low, manic laughter, breaking into raucous peals] 
THE TRUTH! 


[Sound of breaking electronics. It is determined that Dr. Clef's PDA 
was shattered at this point in time.] 


Interview Log x_, Date: -- 
<O5- >: At what point did you become involved in the incident? 


<Dr.Gears>: | was doing work with Professor Kain on ScP-244. 
We had determined that several sections could be retrofitted to be 
modular. We were working on a new crystal-powered cannon 
module when site command gave us the order to respond. 


<O5- >: Did you have any prior knowledge of what was going on? 


<Dr.Gears>: Somewhat. We had heard an alarm go off, but no 
“black alert” breach warning, so we had continued work. More, | 
worked while Professor Kain was providing feedback. The P.A. 
system came on in the lab, and site command said Dr. Clef was 
attempting to terminate SCP-239 without approval, and had caused 
several containment breaches, in addition to harming other 
personnel, notably Dr. Kondraki. We were to attempt to contain Dr. 
Clef until site security could respond. 


<O5- >: Did you find that odd? 
<Dr.Gears>: What? 
<O5- >: That you were being asked to stop a hostile action. 


<Dr.Gears>: No. Dr. Clef's actions were...unexpected, but | have 
been called to do many things outside my area of expertise since 
joining the Foundation. 


<O5- >: What did you do after you received orders? 


<Dr.Gears>: Professor Kain entered SCP-244 and stated that he 
was going to assist Dr. Kondraki. The new module was still 
attached, and the professor expressed anticipation in regards to 
using the cannon to disable Dr. Clef. | advised caution; however 
Professor Kain was already leaving, and may not have heard me. 


<O5- >: You didn’t go with him? 


<Dr.Gears>: | doubt | would have been able to render much help. 
Professor Kain is a brilliant man, in the body of a dog, in a large 
mechanical combat device derived from several SCP. | am a human 
being with no combat training, and severely limited emotional 
response. | responded in the way | felt would do the most good. 


<O5- >: And how was that? 


<Dr.Gears>: | went to speak with SCP-239. 


<Note: audio recoding system damaged, no audio available> 
8:12 Dr. Gears leaves testing area shortly after Kain. 
8:20 Dr. Gears gains access to the containment area of SCP-239. 


8:21 SCP-239 embraces Dr. Gears, who squats down to be face-to- 
face with SCP-239. Dr. Gears and SCP-239 appear to converse for 
several minutes, SCP-239 nodding several times. 


8:25 Dr. Gears stands and gestures to the door while speaking. 
SCP-239 collects her “spell book” and takes his hand. SCP-239 has 
a very stoic expression, but continues to speak as they leave the 
containment area. 


8:27 Dr. Gears stops and collects a book from a office. It appears to 
be a Chinese dictionary. Dr. Gears gestures to it and to the “spell 
book” while speaking to SCP-239. SCP-239 smiles and speaks, 
then takes Dr. Gears’ hand, leading him towards the area of the Dr. 
Clef incident. 


FEED UNAVAILABLE 


8:21 Kain Pathos Crow enters the incident area. 
8:25 Crow discovers Dr. Kondraki. 
8:26 The pair converse for several moments. 


8:29 A large syringe emerges from the side of SCP-—244 and injects 
an unknown substance into Dr. Kondraki's left arm. 


8:32 One of SCP-244's arms reach inside its cockpit and remove a 
large pitcher of alcohol, handing it to Dr. Kondraki, despite him 
visibly refusing. 


8:35 Crow speaks to Kondraki, then leaves area. 


Personal log of Kain Pathos Crow 


Hmmm... The walker is performing admirably, although this should 
be a good test of its combat abilities, as I've never had the chance to 
test it in an actually red alert situation. (the Section 24 Incident 
doesn't count because no one can remember what actually 
happened, and there wasn't enough left to properly identify) 


Still, this is a no kill situation. | like Clef. Maybe | can talk to him. | 
just need to be wary. Don't want to be caught unawares. Not again. 
Not like last time. 


8:40 Crow enters lockdown area, breaching Containment Door 12 
with an unknown explosive projectile in the process. 


8:41 SCP-122-D stands in Crow's way and begins barking and 
growling, baring its fangs. 


8:42 Crow walks past SCP-122-D, ignoring it completely. 


8:43 SCP-122-D reacts badly to this, attempting to attack Crow and 
SCP-244. SCP-244 reacts defensively, batting SCP-122-D out of the 
way. 


8:44 SCP-122-D continues to attempt to assault Crow, and is 


continually warded away by SCP-244 with little effort. 


8:47 SCP-244 reacts suddenly, blasting SCP-122-D with what 
appears to be the newly installed "Crystal Module" and is 
transformed into solid crystal. 


8:48 Crow examines the remains of SCP-122-D, then continues on 
his way. 


Personal log of Kain Pathos Crow 
Huh... 


Bastard had it coming. Nobody liked that mutt anyway. Make a nice 
lawn ornament though... 


Taken from the Post-Incident Report 


... did not realize until after the incident that SCP-547’'s file had been 
corrupted by SCP-732, turning an otherwise ordinary pyro-kinetic 
into an apparent five-elemental abomination. Despite popular 
conception, the presence of I837-speek is not a positive indicator for 
SCP-732, which i@#$ awesome in every way and really likes 
Highlande@$% which is wh@#$ wears a black trench coat and 
carries a katana, but the sudd@#$ presence of Mary-Sue esque 
elements unnecessary for conversion of the object, which i@#$onna 
get to date SCP-105 because she loves me so much@#$ 


Addition PIR-01: Damn it, someone get me an antivirus program in 
here@#$why can't you tell i'm not electronic@#$@ ... 


8:49 SCP-547 leaves confinement as emergency containment 
procedures fail, proceeds down Hallway G-7. 


8:40 Dr. Clef, surrounded by a cloud of SCP-408, proceeds down 
hallway G-7. 


8:41 SCP-547 encounters Dr. Clef. 


Interview 881-12 
Interviewer: Dr. Dammer 
<Begin Log> 


Interviewer: Mr. Hexton, you assured me that the 
sterilization procedures were carried through 100% of 
the population. 


SCP-881-2166: Yes, well, sorry. You know it's hard to 

keep track of what the inchers do in public, let alone in 
private. (Note: "inchers" is the term SCP-881 instances 
use for those of themselves below 5 mm in size) 


Interviewer: Before | go into length regarding the 
meaning of "a hundred percent", Mr. Hexton, let me point 
out that we have a record of two new instances on the 

5 cm to 10 cm range. 


SCP-881-2166: |... honestly don't know what happened, 
chief. | saw the doctor clip one of those women, and he 
assured me the other was just the same. 


Interviewer: lf these couples do not report on how they 
bypassed sterilization, we will consider more intrusive 
means, Mr. Hexton. Do not think we won't. 


SCP-881-2166: Hey, chief, these are citizens. 
They're all stressed, they want to know what you guys 
are doing to get us to regular size. A schedule or 
whatever you scientists use, you know? 


Interviewer: You are not citizens any longer and 
you will know when we deem it proper. Now if | hear of 
one more child, we're cutting all entertainment feeds. 


SCP-881-2166: With all respect, chief, | think that'd just 
make things worse. 


<End Log> 


8:42 SCP-547 engages Dr. Clef. Temperature in Hallway G-7 rises 
to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, igniting all paper and cloth in the area. 


8:43 Smoke fills corridor. Dr. Clef disappears from sight due to 
density of smoke. 


8:44 SCP-547 disappears from sight. 
8:45 Shots fired. 


8:57 Dr. Clef emerges from smoke cloud, with what appear to be 
second and third-degree burns over 50% of his body. 


9:20 Smoke clears. SCP-—547-D seen slumped against the wall, 
having taken between three and four bullet wounds to the head and 
upper torso. Subsequent autopsy will reveal that the unusual organ 
in his chest was shattered by the final round, killing him. (Death was 
confirmed at 11:27 pm, after the incident was concluded) 


3:15 Dr. Bright, currently in the body of SCP-963-D143, an elderly 
African American female arrives on site, bearing an ordinary satchel. 


3:20 Dr. Bright is taken into custody. Dr. Bright is questioned as to 
his arrival at a Site whose SCPs he is incapable of interacting with, 
per his restrictions. The Doctor appears confused, and seems not to 
understand why he came here. 


3:25 Upon examination, it was determined that the satchel contained 
several SCPs, including SCP-018 and scp-776. Further 
questioning reveals the Dr. does not remember gathering these 
SCPs, nor traveling to Site-17. Dr. Bright is remanded into custody 
until further orders arrive. 


9:15 Dr. Bright stands up in his cell, stating simply, "This is why | 
was brought here." For unknown reasons, guards on his cell not 
only allow him to leave, but provide him with the satchel as well. 


9:25 Dr. Bright confronts Dr. Clef, with the satchel already open in 
front of him. There is a discussion between the two, with Dr. Bright 
holding his hand inside of the satchel. 


9:32 Dr. Clef fires one shot into Dr. Bright's head, killing his host 
body instantly. Dr. Bright dies with a smile on his face, for reasons 
unknown. 


Interview Log x_ , Date: - - 


<O5- >:Dr. Bright, do you have any further idea as to why you ended 
up at Site-17? 


Dr. Bright shakes his head in the negative. 


<O5- >:Are you aware of how you managed to bypass the security 
measures on the SCPs you collected? 


Dr. Bright indicates a negatory. 


<O5- >:Can you please explain the conversation that occurred 
between yourself and Dr. Clef? 


<Dr. Bright>: Oook. Ook eek, ok ook. 


<O5- >:This is ridiculous. | am well aware of the pranks you 
scientists choose to play upon each other, but this one was 
undertaken at a poor time. Interrogation of Dr. Bright will continue 
once he has been returned to a human body. 


9:33 Dr. Clef reloads his handgun, "looking" down at the dead body 
of Dr. Bright. Camera notes an expression of confusion on his face. 


9:34 Dr. Clef reaches into the satchel, takes hold of SCP-776. 


9:35 Dr. Clef throws SCP-776 against the wall. SCP-776 comes up 
3. Water begins to issue forth. 


9:36 Dr. Clef rolls SCP-776 a second time. SCP-776 comes up 3 
again. Water issues forth at a greater rate of flow. 


9:37 Dr. Clef retrieves SCP-776, appears to mutter, "Work, damn it." 
Rolls a third time. SCP-776 comes up 2. Hallway G-8 quickly 
becomes frozen in place, cutting Sector 7 of Site-17 off from the rest 


of the site. Ice will continue to issue from SCP-776 for the next five 
minutes at a rate of approximately 1000 cubic centimeters every 
minute. 


9:38 Dr. Clef leaves hallway G-8, moving towards the current 
location of Dr. Gears and SCP-239. 


9:39 SCP-018 breaches temporary containment system. 


9:31 Dr. Kondraki wakes up, having passed out once injected with 
unknown liquid by SCP-244. 


9:33 Gets up, leg wound seemingly healed, and exits hallway B-7. 


9:36 Dr. Kondraki enters living quarters. SCP-408 seen waiting 
outside. 


9:39 Dr. Kondraki still in room, heat signature detected leaving area. 


9:43 Dr. Kondraki spotted with SCP-239 and Dr. Gears, now 
carrying tripod of unknown make and model. 


9:44 The two doctors converse, with Dr. Kondraki gesturing to 
SCP-239 several times. 


9:48 Dr. Clef appears. 
9:50 Dr. Kondraki engages Dr. Clef. 


Investigation Log x77 , Date - - 


The second of the two contraband items that Dr. Kondraki had on 
his person during the incident happened to be contained within an 
extra-long tripod. When unscrewed and detached from the main 
apparatus, the mono-pod of the device acted as a sheath fora 
straight blade saber of exceptional quality. The make and 
composition of the blade is still under investigation, but unlike 
SCP-515-ARC, this one doesn't require SCP classification. At first, a 
connection to SCP-108 had been presumed, due to the skill with 
which Dr. Kondraki wielded the blade, but further investigation has 


revealed that he has more than a simple passing interest in fencing. 
Details are recorded in Personnel Log cV 


Partial log, recovered from file-d 
<Dr. Kondraki>: It’s over Clef, I’ve got the drop on you this time! 


<Dr. Clef>: [Gunshots] Why...do you persist in protecting that 
monster?! 


<Dr. Kondraki>: Because, Dr. Clef, things are never quite so black 
and white. 


<Sound of a metallic clattering sound. It is believed that this is the 
point where Dr. Clef ran out of ammunition and switched to his 
backup weapon SCP-1023-ARC > 


<Dr. Clef>: [Blades clash] You're the one that’s color blind, Konny! 


<Dr. Kondraki>: Where the hell were you keeping that thing this 
whole time, anyway? 


[DATA CORRUPT] 


Addendum: To the anonymous employee who took the Site-17 
surveillance camera footage of Drs. Clef and Kondraki having a 
swordfight, set it to the "Highlander" theme song, and posted it to 
the company intraweb with the title, "There Can Be Only One": We 
will find out who you are, and when we do, you'll be missed greatly. 


P.S. Whose smart idea was it to allow SCP-076 view the footage?

(forward to 00:42:18) 
<O5- >: Gears, god damn it, what did you say to her? 


<Dr.Gears>: Sir, | do not understand your current agitation. The 


video record is in excellent condition, and the audio in question is 
88% complete. You are already aware of what was said, and its 
effect. | don’t... 


<O5- >: Don’t. Don’t you dare try to pull that with me. | Know you 
Gears, and the logical bullshit you pull with everyone else will NOT 
work on me. I’ve seen your file, I've reviewed the event, so DON’T 
treat me like a goddamn moron. Now you answer me, and you 
answer me now, what did you SAY?! 


<Dr.Gears>: (silence) 


<O5- >: Gears, what you did could potentially bring down the whole 
Foundation. What’s more, you broke the goddamn SCP! What the 
hell were you thinking? She can do ANYTHING Gears. We want to 
keep her from experimenting, and you do this! You heartless freak, | 
swear if... 


<Dr.Gears>: | understand your frustration, but | do not view it as 
warranted. | caused the breach of SCP for 239; however | did so ina 
way allowing for the re-instatement of SCP. | did not just tell her to 
do what | asked, thereby calling into question the current “Witch- 
child” control strategy. | used what resources | had available to 
extend the control strategy, and affect the end of hostilities initiated 
by Dr. Clef. SCP-239 remains unaware of the full extent of her 
abilities, only that they may be augmented by “Over Counsel 
Wizards” and their “emergency spell books”. 


<O5- >: ...what the hell are you talking about? 


<Dr.Gears>: Dr. Clef had been attacked by the Great Darkness, a 
mass of formless evil that reached into our world. It had taken over 
Dr. Clef, and left only a few witches and wizards with any magic left. 
|, as an Over Council Wizard, was dispatched, along with the 
swordsman Kondraki, to subdue Clef and drive the evil from him. 
Working together, SCP-239 and | would be able to use an 
Emergency Spell book, which can only be used by two wizards at 
the same time, and only when the Great Darkness is around. 


<O5- >: ...And she believed you?
