End of day six. Floor 2400. 
Notes: N/A 


| should jump. There clearly isn’t an exit 
anywhere. | doubt there ever will be. I’ve been 
walking for almost a week now and nothing. | 
didn’t know isolation could be so harrowing. | 
keep on hearing that ringing. | keep imagining 
that someone is calling to me from a far away 
floor. | Know I’m just imagining it but I’m 
actually going crazy in here. I’ve had nothing 
to eat but the same dozen of snacks, nothing 
to sleep on but hard tiles, and nothing to drink 
besides that disgusting tasting fountain water. 
I’m sick of it all. 


If | don’t find an exit in the next 50 floors I’m 
going to jump. 


If this is existence then | don’t want to exist 
anymore. 


I’m sorry... 
Notes: The number 2600 is written on the bottom. 


I’m ten floors away from 50. And |... Gods. | 
haven't even told my best friend about this yet. 
Maybe this is karma. This is some cruel deity 
granting my wish. Be careful what you wish for 
right? Well anyways... 


I’ve been planning my suicide. 


| doubt that | would’ve gone through with is. 
Dad is still relying on me. Charlie is still relying 
on me. If | just left they would be devastated. 
Charlie would probably kill himself if | did it 
first. He’s not strong enough to live. So that’s 
why | didn’t think | would go through with it but 
like... Maybe that’s why I’m being punished? | 
didn’t value my life enough so now | HAVE TO 
kill myself. It’s tempting I’m not going to lie. 


But... 


| know that new Star Wars movie was coming 
out. | really wanted to see how the trilogy 
ended. Game of thrones’ final season isn’t out 
yet. | haven't seen infinity war either. Or the 
next Spider Man homecoming movie. Or black 
panther. Lily is graduating in a year too. And 
Sarah and | haven't gone to Europe yet like we 
wanted to. 


I’m actually kinda scared to take the next ten 
floors. 


Does this mean that | don’t actually want to 
die? 


Life is so hard. Between Charlie’s depression. 
Mom and Dad’s divorce. The constant fear of 
Charlie trying to off himself... 


Well. | guess I'll find out in ten floors. 
Notes: N/A 


I’m here. Floor 1650. | should’ve waited for a 
nice 413 reference to off myself to. That would 
be real poetic. Herein lies ,a 
homestuck even in death. But that’s a lot more 
floors to go. | guess | could walk back down to 
1413 but that’s still like a bunch of floors. | 


already decided on this floor anyways. 
Notes: N/A. 


Ok. I’ve been sitting here for like an hour. | 
just... | can’t do it. | want to see Charlie again. 
| want to see Sarah again. | want to hold my 
dog again. God | miss my dog. 


| want to live. 
Notes: N/A 


So shouting “I want to live” clearly is not the 
way to do this. | guess jumping is the only real 
option. But | really really don’t want to die. And 
I’m terrified of heights. Why did | think suicide 
via falling was such a good idea in the first 
place? 


Besides the point. 


Ok. I’ve decided. I’m going to jump. But I’m 
going to pray like hell that | don’t die. So 
whatever deity is out there or responsible for 
trapping me in here... | promise that | want to 
live. So please PLEASE let me survive this. 


Once I’ve... ya know actually worked up the 
courage to jump of course. 


Not like there’s anything better for me to do 
anyways. 


Notes: This is the last journal entry. SCP-3964-2-A 
jumped sometime after writing and landed safely and 
successfully next to SCP-3964. 


Addendum.2: Instances of SCP-3964-2 who overcome 
suicidal ideation may exit SCP-3964-1 without harm and 
will land next to the library stairwell. 


SCP-514: A Flock of Doves 


Item #: SCP-514 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: There is currently no 
permanent containment site for SCP-514 (See Addendum 2). 
SCP-514 is currently being tracked by Mobile Task Force Lambda-4 
(aka "Birdwatchers"), who are under orders to observe SCP-514. In 
the event that SCP-514 strays near a densely populated area or an 
area where its presence will be easily noticed, Mobile Task Force 
Lambda-4 is authorized to use the in order to manipulate 
SCP-514's migration patterns. 


Access to SCP-514 and the is restricted to Mobile Task Force 
Lambda-4. Level 4 personnel may also have access, but must have 
O5 approval beforehand. Any experiments and weapons tests with 
SCP-514 must be performed exclusively at the Advanced 
Weapons Research Facility. 


In the event that SCP-514 risks public exposure or capture by rival 
groups, Mobile Task Force Lambda-4 is authorized to terminate the 
threat by any means necessary. It is highly recommended that such 
threats be terminated before they reach SCP-514's "dead zone", 
though this is not strictly necessary. 


Description: SCP-514 is a flock of Columba livia domestica, or 
Homing Pigeons. Visual analysis confirms that these pigeons are in 
fact the kind used in White Dove Release ceremonies. However, the 
type of ceremony they were used in, or the identity of who bred 
these doves is currently unknown. 


What makes SCP-514 unusual is the "weapon nullification aura" it 
seems to project around itself. This aura projects itself in a roughly 
five hundred (500) meter radius around the flock, though this 
estimation varies depending on the flock's size. This aura renders

SCP-3965: Zhulong 


Item #: SCP-3965 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3965 is presently 
monitored by two Series II Quicksilver satellites (for details regarding 
the Series II Quicksilver, see Document-QS2-Alpha), which are 
additionally tasked with monitoring SCP-1815. 


Any change in the activity of SCP-3965 is to be reported to Site-59 
immediately. Civilian discovery of SCP-3965 requires 
implementation of standard media blackout procedures. Embedded 
agents in major astronomical organizations shall intercept reports 
concerning SCP-3965 and flag responsible civilians for Class-A 
amnestic treatment, to be delivered by the first available personnel. 


SCP-3965-A is to be monitored onsite at Outpost-3965-A by a 
minimum of two personnel. At least one onsite personnel must be 
cleared to converse with SCP-3965 by specifications defined in 
Document-3965-Zunjing. Unless emergency provisions are in effect, 
personnel lacking 3965-Zunjing authorization are forbidden from 
conversing with SCP-3965. If SCP-3965-A produces severe 
weather, personnel are to report the activity and place 
Outpost-3965-A into lockdown until the event subsides. 


Description: SCP-3965 is a vaguely reptilian entity currently located 
on Mercury. The entity demonstrates morphological elements of 
Sphenodontidae, Xenodermatidae and Panthera, and is 
approximately 12km in length, with an average width of 50 meters. 
SCP-3965 does not breathe, eat, excrete waste or sleep; by its own 
admission, the entity utilizes solar radiation as a form of sustenance. 


SCP-3965 is largely dormant, remaining motionless for >95% of 
documented observation. The entity is sapient and intelligent, and is 
fluent in numerous terrestrial languages, along with one or more of 


unknown origin. Former members of Hudju zhi Zi ("Children of the 
Torch")! on the research team have attested that this unknown 
language cannot truly be defined as "language" at all, and is in fact 
more "fundamental" in nature. Document-3965-IL 


The exact capabilities of SCP-3965 remain untested, largely due to 
the entity's relatively benign stance with regards to the Foundation. 
SCP-3965 is designated, at minimum, as a Class VII Thaumaturgic 
Extraterrestrial Being. 


SCP-3965-A is an electromagnetic phenomenon in Severnaya 
Zemlya which outwardly resembles Aurora Borealis, and from which 
the voice of SCP-3965 is produced. The phenomenon fluctuates in 
color and intensity with the entity's apparent mood. SCP-3965 is 
seemingly able to see and hear within the vicinity of SCP-3965-A, 
allowing for reciprocated communication. 


During periods in which SCP-3965 is particularly active, SCP-3965- 
A produces markedly more severe meteorological disturbances. 
These disturbances include violent electrical snowstorms, and the 
presence of abnormal transient luminous events (TLEs). These 
occurrences release varying levels of gamma radiation. 


Addendum [3965-001]: Discovery 


SCP-3965 was discovered when a Series | Quicksilver probe 
monitoring SCP-1815 was re-tasked following the detection of an 
abnormality on the surface of Mercury. Upon approaching within 
approximately 200km of SCP-3965, contact with the probe was lost. 
Forty-eight minutes later, three radio transmissions were received 
from the vicinity of Mercury by the Quicksilver monitoring station at 
Site-59, although it is unclear why this transmission was not 
received by any other facility. 


The first two messages contained only electromagnetic interference, 
however, the third transmission contained a complex and repeating 
series of acoustic tones. It was later determined that this series 
described a numerical system originating from the Yangshao- 
Divergent Ethnoreligious Group (YDEG), and corresponded to the 
approximate geographic coordinates of SCP-3965-A. 


Upon reaching SCP-3965-A the exploration team was contacted by 
SCP-3965, which first communicated in a poorly characterized 
dialect of Old Chinese, followed by present day Chinese, followed by 
English. 


Addendum [3965-002]: Site Reconnaissance 


After the initial contact and evaluation of SCP-3965 and SCP-3965- 
A, the exploration team conducted a thorough appraisal of the 
surrounding area. Komsomolets Island is not known to have been 
inhabited at any point in history, not counting its brief periods of use 
by Russia as a polar station. SCP-3965-A is localized in the northern 
region of the island, where it is largely unglaciated. 


During the course of a six hour investigation, the exploration team 
discovered a number of artifacts constructed of jadeite. These 
artifacts had been reinforced against physical damage and 
deterioration through an unknown process, and displayed 
iconography consistent with YDEG. The recovered artifacts include: 
ten sculptures of a three-legged crow (believed to be SCP-1428), 
one sculpture which resembles SCP-3965, one sculpture of a three- 
armed humanoid (believed to be [REDACTED], the "Radiant 
Father"), and sixteen unidentified sculptures. 


During the two week construction of Outpost-3965-A, an excavation 
of the sites where artifacts were previously discovered was 
conducted. A circular stone platform, 9.255 meters in diameter, was 
unearthed. Environmental erosion had degraded surface designs 
and engravings until they were unrecognizable, however, 
radiocarbon dating of various organic materials in the platform's 
composition place its origin at BCE.

Interviewed: SCP-3965 

Interviewer: Dr Albert, Research Personnel David Fu and Emily Fu 
Foreword: Fifth interview with entity. David and Emily Fu are blood 
relatives, and former members of Children of the Torch, having been 
recruited by the Foundation in 20 , in California. The interview is 
being overseen by two security personnel, who have agreed to 
refrain from interrupting the proceedings unless asked, or unless a 
breach of protocol occurs. Although Dr. Albert is fluent in Chinese, it 
was agreed that the interview would be conducted in English. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Albert: Stating for the record that this is our fifth interview, 
presided over by Dr. Albert, Level 3 Research Team Leader and 
Outpost Supervisor. Accompanying me are research personnel 
David Fu and Emily Fu. How are you this morning, SCP-3965? 


SCP-3965: That is such a funny name. | am doing as well as can be 
expected, but tell me, who has come with you? 


Both David and Emily Fu immediately bow upon approaching the 
site. 


SCP-3965: Can this be? Flames of the ancient way? One budding 
and one withering, and yet such hope and tenacity | sense from 
both! 


David Fu: Great and mighty Zhulong, my name is David Fu, and | 
must ask: is it truly you? Please forgive the insolence of my 
uncertainty, but to be granted the presence of such majesty... 


SCP-3965: Do not fret, loyal servant, and lay your doubts to rest. | 
am sentinel of which you speak. | am he to whom our father referred 


when he gave the name "Zhulong."” 


David Fu: In my dreams, | have seen you, soaring through the 
heavens, bringing song. | never imagined...| never dared to imagine 
that such an honor could be granted to me. 


SCP-3965: It stokes the fire in the very core of my being to find one 
such as you, one through which father's words have endured. 


Dr. Albert: If | might interject with a question, this "fire" or "flame" to 
which you refer, is that something akin to a soul? 


SCP-3965: Somewhat. You might use the term "essence." If the 
soul is a particle, the flame is a wave, but yes, it is the true "you." 
But alas! In all this discussion we have forgotten our manners. Who 
is this maiden that has stood so silently and still, with such respect 
and reverence? 


Emily Fu: Uh, um, |...Oh, god, I'm so sorry! (She immediately drops 
down and bows a second time.) 


SCP-3965: Ease yourself. David, yes? Is this beautiful maiden your 
granddaughter? | feel a kinship in the flames... 


David Fu: Yes, this is Emily. She is very nervous. 
SCP-3965: One notices. 


Emily Fu: (She raises her head.) Please forgive me, great and 
mighty Zhulong! It is an unspeakable-no, not unspeakable, | mean- 
an unbelievable honor to meet you! 


SCP-3965: It is a great pleasure to meet you both as well, but | fear 
we must bring the introductions to a close, as there are important 
things to be discussed, and regrettably, | cannot fixate upon this 
place indefinitely. 


David Fu: Are we distracting you from pertinent matters? 


SCP-3965: You are not a distraction. My concentration is focused 
on a number of things, and can only fixate here for a brief period, in 
addition to things which | cannot ignore for a moment. 


Emily Fu: We are eternally grateful that you would consider us 
worthy of your attention, great Zhulong. (She bows again.) 


SCP-3965: It is not necessary for you to continue doing that. 


Emily Fu: Of course! Please forgive me, great Zhulong! (She bows 
again.) 


David Fu: She is very nervous...and very respectful. 


SCP-3965: Quite. David, Emily, both of you must listen to me 
carefully. | have things to tell you. 


David Fu: You have our undivided attention. 


The color of SCP-3965-A changes from its typical green to a bluish 
hue. 


SCP-3965: Our father's rest has not been peaceful. 


Dr. Albert: Pardon me again, but | have a quick question about the 
"Father." That is [REDACTED], yes, the Radiant Father? 


SCP-3965: It feels so unnatural to put that name into sound like that. 
But yes, that is of whom | speak. He and his nine brothers were as 
ancient as the cosmos, beings of light which brought life and warmth 
to the cold and darkness of the universe. They are all gone, now, 
and all that remains of our father is your star. 


Dr. Albert: The sun. | see. But what do you mean by his rest not 
being "peaceful?" 


SCP-3965: His remains have been disturbed by a number of 
opportunistic vermin, but the present infestation is the most 
concerning. David, are you familiar with the message | gave shortly 
after our father's death? 


David Fu: (He nods.) The remnants of his flame. 


SCP-3965: In my slumber, those remnants have been infested by 
abhorrent things. There is a parasitic, cancerous growth feeding on 
our father, and it is now feeding on the first planet as well. | have
