The other good news is your training and conditioning will minimize 
the likelihood of either occurring. We have discovered through trial 
and error how to protect our minds against very dangerous hazards. 
The many division members who retired to psychiatric wards are a 
testament to that. You will learn to lucid dream, which is where much 
of your practice will take place. You will undergo intensive 
psychological testing to make sure you do not join our alumni. You 
will practice meditation until you achieve the level of Zen master and 
float above your superfluous programming completely. You will be 
taught the akashic scripts and meta-languages which bypass the 
frontal cortex and tap directly into the primal drives. If you make it to 
the upper echelons you'll learn manipulation commands like kill 
words, after a few minor surgeries to your trachea. We will let you 
know when you are ready. The pioneers who discovered the safe 
procedures for containing lethal infohazards in your mind never got 
a chance to retire. 


Not only will you be able to work with cognitohazard and memetic 
SCPs you will help to develop the neurocognitive counter- 
programming and anti-memes that will shield you, your colleagues, 
and society from the gibbering madness lurking in containment. You 
will make the Foundation, safer, saner, productive, and 
unquestioning in their commitment. You will bend the archetypes 
from our collective unconscious to your will to secure, contain, and 
protect us all. Welcome again, and congratulations. [REDACTED] 


Alllright everybody back? Yup, for those of you not keeping track 
that was almost an hour you aren't going to remember until you earn 
it. Exactly none of you have the training or clearance to know any of 
that. Yet. 


We're going to teach you to walk through fire, feel like your brain is 
melting out of your ears and still keep going. We will put your minds 
in the forge and hammer at them until they are stronger than steel. 
Mind affecting and weird psychic SCPs will slide off you, and 
information based containment breaches will be just another day at 


the office.

Well played. 


You've earned a little more candor. The genetic explanatic 
full spectrum of information is untrue as far as we can asc

We'll be in touch. 


Time flies when you're receiving cognito-memetic conditioning. Well 
look at the time. That's about it for the introduction. Next we'll watch 


the instructional video on handling Euclid infohazards and then you'll 
have pizza for lunch. There should be enough for two slices for 
everyone, and it is required everyone eat both slices. 


How well you can handle your shit is an important component of 
training, and there will be pharmacological hallucinatory tutorials just 
for you. Have fun in the desert with the lizard king.Because it is 
chock full of drugsit's also pretty funny watching you rooks spaz 
out.. 


Footnotes 

1.-coThe many layers and contradictions are an intentional part of 
your training. Working with memetics and infohazards means you 
must learn not to trust anything. This is not to create paranoia, but 
instead serene skepticism. You must float atop the waves of mental 
programing which shift and crash against you. Nothing can pull you 
under unless you choose to believe it. Observe the depths, never 
accept the surface, always delve into the source code. Don't 
trustanyone, don't believe everything you think. 


Memorandum Dated 6 November 1944 


To: Sir Edward Wilfred Travis, Deputy Director 
From: Col. Lionel Pierce (Bletchley Park) 
Date: 6 November 1944 

Re: German project in Upper Silesia 


Sir Edward: 


In obedience to your order of 26 October, | have directed the staff of 
my section to identify and analyze intelligence relevant to an 
understanding of special German military assets and projects that 
are located in areas that we expect the Soviets to take in the next 60 
days. This memorandum discusses such a German asset. The 
Jerries have it in East Upper Silesia near Kattowitz, an area that we 
expect Marshal Konev to overrun in the next few weeks. In view of 
the implications of the Soviets acquiring and possessing this asset, | 
wanted to get this report to you immediately. 


| attach three exhibits: 


Exhibit 1: Plaintext decrypt of an intercepted pre-war ENIGMA 
communication. As this was an older message, we didn't prioritize 
breaking the code on this one, and it remained in the queue until a 
few weeks ago when one of the lads took it up as a training 
exercise. 

Exhibit 2: Intercepted orders dated 7 August 1941 from R. Heydrich 
to Dr. Eduard Wirths regarding the construction of a facility to house 
the asset. 

Exhibit 3: Description of asset and protocol for its handling. 


| respectfully suggest that Command convey this information (in 
particular, Exhibit 3) to the Soviets through appropriate channels. 
They need to know what to do when they get there- and more 
pointedly, what not to do. 


Respectfully, 


/s/ 
L. Pierce

Exhibit 1: 


24 January 1939 

To: Dr. Schmidt, Neuschwabenland, [coordinates] 
From: SS-Gruppentuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, 
Reichssicherheitshauptamt 

Heil Hitler! Allow me to be among the first to congratulate 
you and your team on your discovery at Austvorren 
Ridge [Col. Pierce’s note: German name for geographic 
feature at 73°6'S by 1°35'W)]. Berlin has been following 
the reports of your expedition to Antarctica with the 
closest attention. Although the erbsenzdahler [translated 
as “bean-counters”] will probably be less than pleased 
that the establishment of a German whaling station on 
the Antarctic continent has proved to be impracticable, 
that setback cannot diminish the results of your valuable 
scientific work. 


The ship Neuschwabenland is to remain in the Antarctic 
for a few more weeks. You and your team, however, are 
directed to return to Germany immediately, and bring her 
with you. [Col. Pierce’s note: Here and elsewhere, the 
Jerries refer to the asset as “she”, or “her”. See Exhibit 3 
for our best effort at a physical description.] In eleven 
days, the Kriegsmarine will dispatch U-38 from 
Wilhelmshaven to pick you up and convey you to 
Hamburg. U-38’s three forward compartments have been 
modified into a Aufbewahrungskammer [translated as 
“containment chamber’. Feed her, if you must, then 
freeze her just as you had found her, then crate her and 
get her aboard the U-boat with as much discretion as 
possible-Captain Mootz of U-38 has been instructed not 
to ask questions. You must get her back to the Reich as 
quickly as possible, as political events in the near future 


may inconvenience sea access to Antarctica in the short 
term. 


You were very brave to dig her up and thaw her out. Do 
not second-guess your own decision based upon what 
happened: it is upon courageous men like you that the 
Reich's vitality and glory depend. Upon your arrival in 
Hamburg, you will be presented with the Reich’s highest 
honours. The remains of expedition members Hess, 
Gruber, Schneider and Joachim will also be given an 
honourable burial— in truth, not a burial, given the 
circumstances, but | am sure that their widows will 
appreciate the gesture. 


Yours, 
Reinhard Heydrich, Director- Sicherheitspolizei 


[Col. Pierce’s note: We know from subsequent 
intercepted communications that U-38 returned to 
Hamburg in late February 1939 and delivered Ernst 
Schmidt, a few researchers, a large metal tank and 
several tons of other equipment. This journey was not 
without incident—based on some intercepted 
communications between U-38 and Admiral Donitz’s 
headquarters in early February 1939, it appears that the 
crew of U-38 attempted to mutiny and scuttle the boat at 
sea about 120 miles southwest of the Faroe Islands. 
However, Captain Mootz was able to re-assert control on 
18 February and notified Admiral Dénitz regarding the 
same. U-38 was retired from service following arrival and 
disassembled. The tank was loaded onto a rail car and 
sent eastward- our man on the ground tracked it as far 
as Dresden.] 


Exhibit 2 


7 August 1941 

To: Dr. Wirths 

From: SS-Gruppenfihrer Reinhard Heydrich, 
Reichssicherheitshauptamt 


Heil Hitler! In four days, you will take delivery of the asset 
that we discussed after the conference back in June. 
Gruppe G: Technische Arbeitsmittel of the Abteilung 
Nachrichtenbeschaffung [Col. Pierce's note: We believe 
that this organization directs the Wehrmacht's research 
division] has attempted, for the last two years, to make a 
reliable weapon out of her, without success. She is 
voracious and deadly, to be sure, but she has 
consistently been as great a danger to our personnel as 
to the enemy. Since we have not yet found an effective 
way of permanently neutralizing her, we are shipping her 
to you so that she may serve the Reich in a different 
way. 


In your letter of 22 July, you noted that the research that 
Hauptsturmfuhrer Dr. Mengele will be undertaking under 
your direction could be carried out with greater efficiency 
if there were a reliable means of rapidly disposing of the 
detritus of failed tests. We believe that she will serve 
admirably in this capacity at the Vernichtungslager that 
you are constructing. However, in order that she may 
serve this function safely, we have learned from 
experience that she must be contained in accordance 
with the attached protocol, which must be observed 
diligently and without fail. 


Yours, 
Reinhard

Exhibit 2 refers is attached as Exhibit 3.]

[DATA EXPUNGED] 


« COLD HARPER | Transcript of meeting, June 2 1972 » 


SCP-907: An Exploratory Vehicle 


Item #: SCP-907 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-907 is to be kept under 
standard surveillance within Garage 3 of Site 54. The key to activate 
SCP-907 is to be kept in a sealed locker under the possession of the 
local security director, and may only be requisitioned by Level 3 
personnel for purposes of testing SCP-907. 


SCP-907 is outfitted as a mobile research station, and is to be kept 
fully stocked at all times. This stock includes all necessary research, 
computing, and living equipment, a ten-day supply of rations plus a 
five day emergency supply, an appropriately modified Mk. Il EVA 
suit, and a standard set of ten remote AX-10 probes. The inventory 
of SCP-907 is to be refreshed after every testing mission. 


For the sake of caution, testing of SCP-907 is to be carried out by 
Level 1 and 2 personnel only, as according to the official testing 
schedule. SCP-907 is not to be exited by the researcher during 
testing missions except in matters of absolute necessity. 


Description: SCP-907 is a 196 VW van bearing no internal or 
external structural anomalies. The vehicle had received a new coat 
of paint shortly before recovery, but otherwise all modification to the 
vehicle has been carried out by the Foundation. Said modification 
includes the removal of all seats in the vehicle and the addition of 
testing and research equipment. 


Upon the starting of its engine, SCP-907 will disappear from local 
time-space and undergo a state of transit. This state will persist for 
five to ten minutes, after which the engine will stop of its own accord. 
Removing the key or attempting to turn off the engine manually has 
proven unsuccessful while transit is ongoing. When transit has been 
completed, SCP-907 will re-appear on the surface of an extrasolar 


Memories 


Memories 


Jason surveyed the scene. The place was a mess, broken glass 
scattered across the floor, small puddles of blood and chemicals 
here and there, and three dead bodies lying in the middle of the 
room. Jason shook his head. Things had gotten out of hand real 
quick. Two of the scientists had pulled guns on the Foundation 
team, and in the ensuing firefight all three scientists were killed. 
Walking through the room, Jason spotted a piece of paper jutting out 
beneath a shelf, just the corner visible. He picked it up, and let out a 
sigh as he looked at it. A photograph of a family, smiling happily in 
the nice weather. A woman in her late forties, with a kind and caring 
look. A little girl, no more than ten years old, beaming like she'd just 
won the grand prize in the lottery. And a man, probably in his early 
fifties, one arm around his woman's shoulder and the other holding 
the girl’s hand. On the back, in very neat handwriting, was written 
“We'll miss you every day you’re away. Love, Carla and Lily”. 


Jason shook his head. The two who had drawn guns were probably 
members of some shady organization, looking to weaponize or profit 
off of the SCPs they had acquired, but this man... He hadn’t fought, 
and had seemed completely surprised and terrified when his 
colleagues started shooting. He had cowered beneath a table, and 
been hit by a stray bullet. He probably had no idea what they were 
really doing, perhaps too excited about working with such unusual 
samples to notice anything suspicious. Jason looked around the 
room, making sure nobody could see him, and pocketed the photo. 
He took another round through the room, making sure he hadn't 
missed anything important, and headed outside. 


Back in his quarters, Jason sat down on his bed and took out the 

photo. He looked at it for a little while, and then pulled out the small 
box he kept in his desk. He unlocked and opened it, slowly looking 
over the contents. He’d have to get another box soon, this one was 


getting full. Inside were a number of items; a locket, a scratched and 
cracked CD plate, several photos, a broken watch, two drawings in 
crayon, and many other small objects. To anyone else, just a 
random assortment of trinkets and junk. 


But Jason knew that each of these items had a history. Each had 
been taken from a site where the Foundation had run into a conflict 
that had claimed the life of someone whose only wrongdoing was 
being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They hadn't known why 
they were killed. And their loved ones would never know the truth. 
Jason knew though. He had held onto these things to make sure he 
would remember. The truth might be hidden, but it wouldn’t be 
forgotten. Not so long as he lived. He understood all too well how 
necessary the work of the Foundation was, and why secrecy was so 
important. He knew that sacrifices had to be made. But the least he 
could do was remember those who had been sacrificed for the sake 
of all of humanity.
