D-3704-7: He keeps telling me to move closer. 
Something about a debt being owed. 


Dr. Solys: I’m sorry, a debt? 


D-3704-7: Yeah. 


Dr. Solys: See if you can glean more 
information. Is that all he is saying? 


D-3704-7: That | can hear, yes. Hell as far as | 
know this thing could be putting thoughts in my 
mind that | need to serve some eldritch horror. 
You guys have some crazy shit cooped up in 
here. 


Dr. Solys: Let me assure you that as far as we 
know that is not the case. 


D-3704-7: Ah. Such a relief. 


Dr. Solys: This is an experiment, D-3704-7. 
Cutting back on the sarcasm would be much 
appreciated. 


D-3704-7: Aye, aye, captain. 


(Neither D-3704-7 or Dr. Solys speak for 
approximately 30 seconds. During this time, 
test time exceeds 3 minutes.) 


D-3704-7: A-ha! Here are those ‘multiple 
voices’ you were talking about? 


Dr. Solys: There are more voices now? 


D-3704-7: Yeah. They’re much quieter, but 
definitely there. The silence when the first 
voice wasn’t speaking is getting filled with 
white noise and whispers. 


Dr. Solys: Try to make out what they’re 
saying. Identify them. 


D-3704-7: Got it. Well...they also want me to 
move closer. Damn, it took me getting locked 
up to get popular. 


Dr. Solys: (Sighs in irritation.) Can you identify 
the new voices? 


D-3704-7: Zero ideas here. The only thing | 
can say for sure is that they’re all different 
kinds. It’s not like all guys or all girls or all old 
or whatever. It’s like listening to a crowd, but 
they’re mostly saying the same thing. 


Dr. Solys: They’re speaking in unison? 


D-3704-7: Yeah, that’s the word. Something 
about debts being repaid. |...owe something? 


(Test time exceeds 5 minutes.) 


Dr. Solys: Are you experiencing any desire to 
approach the case? 


D-3704-7: | mean, kinda. It’s more just 
curiosity. | wanna know what’s inside. | can’t 
see it very well from the chair. 


Dr. Solys: Noted. 


D-3704-7: They’ve gotten really, really loud. 
Like, | can barely hear you anymore. They're 
shouting in unison about this debt | apparently 
owe. They want me to go to the case. They 
want me to free them. What...what the hell is 
in that thing? 


Dr. Solys: A music box. 


D-3704-7: A music box, huh? Do you think... 
do you think if | went up to it, that the voices 
would quiet the hell down? 


Dr. Solys: | cannot say for certain. 
Unfortunately, you are not permitted to 
approach the case and your restraints will not 
be lifted. 


on the portions of the body associated with repeated self-harm. 
Tests were performed to determine whether damage to the scar 
pattern caused corresponding violence in . Surgeons made 
several incisions to parts of the scars corresponding with 's 
business district. No effect was noted. 


It is hypothesized that the self-inflicted damage is a compulsory 
response to violence and other crime in the city. Self-harm appears 
to be inflicted on parts of the body associated with high-crime 
neighborhoods. On / /20 , after SCP-481-2 attempted to remove a 
portion of his upper arm during a string of murders in the 
corresponding neighborhood, current procedures involving full-body 
restraints were adopted.

D-3704-7: Alright, this... (Takes a deep breath. 
Subject appears to be straining.) This isn’t very 
good. | wanna just do it to get the shitheads to 
shut the hell up. 


Dr. Solys: That won’t be happening. 


D-3704-7: Can you at least let me out of here 
then? It’s starting to fuck me up, Doc. 


Dr. Solys: No, the test will continue until we 
have gathered sufficient information. 


D-3704-7: That’s pretty lame, Doctor. It’s... 
(Subject gasps in pain, and tries to clutch his 
chest though the restraints prevent him from 
doing so.) ...really starting to hurt. | can’t... 
even think. 


Dr. Solys: Has the voices’ message changed 
at all? Are the still talking about the debt? 


D-3704-7: Oh, yeah, can’t get enough of that 
word. It’s just- (Subject cries out.) ...just being 
forced on my mind 10 times a second. 


Dr. Solys: D-3704-7, | need you to focus. Stay 
with me. Have they said anything new? 


D-3704-7: Stop calling me that. My name is 
Andrew. 


Dr. Solys: Answer my question, D-3704-7. 


D-3704-7: Nah, still on the debt! Debt, debt, 
debt, debt, debt! Can’t get enough, yup! 


Dr. Solys: Understood. 


D-3704-7: Fuck, man. It’s getting really hot in 
here. Do you feel that? (Subject begins 
struggling with restrain.) 


Dr. Solys: Perfectly normal in here to me. 


D-3704-7: Debt! They want compensation! A 
repayment! What do they want! | don’t have 
any fucking money anymore! I’m a lab rat now! 
What do you want from me, cheese? 


Dr. Solys: You need to remain calm. Focus. 


(D-3704-7 screams and begins tearing at 
restraint.) 


Dr. Solys: Stand down from the restraint! 


D-3704-7: They want payment! | have nothing 
to give! 


Dr. Solys: Why do they want payment? 


(//D-3704-7 screams again, tears the restraint 
in half, and stands up. //) 


Dr. Solys: (Standing up and backing away 
from window) Oh my God! Security team! We 
need cleanup! I’m calling the experiment off! 


D-3704-7: | can't stay here. They're tearing at 
my mind, burning their names and faces in my 
soul. It's like...it's like they want me to 
understand! (Marks begin appearing on 
D-3704-7's skin which appear similar to 3rd 
degree burns.) 


Dr. Solys: What are they trying to make you 
understand? 


D-3704-7: | don't know! | don't care! | can't 
understand! | don't want to understand! | just 
want them to shut the hell up! (D-3704-7 
screams, and attacks the one-way glass 
separating the containment chamber and the 
observation room. Subject retreats from the 


glass before charging at the containment door 
as the security team opens it. Subject kills 
entirety of security team before exiting the 
containment chamber by holding the door 
open. Containment breach declared.) 


[END LOG] 


Researcher's Note: Something was very off 
in this test. Subject was able to withstand the 
urge to move closer to SCP-3704, instead 
running away from it, the music played wasn't 
even something he liked, and he heard voices 
he didn't recognize. On top of all of that, he 
caused a containment breach and killed an 
entire security team. | feel as though | 
understand more about the true nature of the 
object, but I'll need more tests to be 
completely sure. | don’t know for certain, but | 
cant help but feel as if the voices that 
D-3704-7 heard, barring his father, were those 
killed in the fire. 


Addendum 3704-1: 

Following the containment breach on 04/23/2017 resulting in _ staff 
casualties, all testing on SCP-3704 has been suspended until further 
notice. 


+ Messages to and from Site Command between 04/29/2017 and 04/< 


Message to Site Command from Dr. Caleb 
Solys on 04/29/2017 


| am hereby requesting reinstatement of 
testing on SCP-3704. The last test caused a 
containment breach, but that only further 
enforces the need to understand this thing. 
That subject broke out of his restrains and 
killed a security team with his bare hands. 
During the test, numerous things were out of 
place. The timings were all wrong, everything 


we thought we knew about it were thrown out 
the window. SCP-3704 could have any 
number of anomalous properties we don't 
know about, or the current ones could be 
stronger. We. Don't. Know. It's dangerous. I'm 
firm in the belief that we need to learn more. 
We need to know what it actually does. 


Response from Site Command on 
04/31/2017 


Request Denied.

SCP-3706: 50,000 Krakens Under the Sea 


Item #: SCP-3706 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Locations with high 
probabilities of producing or uncovering SCP-3706 instances are to 
be monitored closely by implanted Foundation archaeologists and 
paleontologists. Should an SCP-3706 instance be uncovered, non- 
Foundation personnel present on site are to be administered class A 
amnestics, and disinformation regarding recent discoveries 
disseminated in the event of further inquiries. 


SCP-3706 instances are to be moved to secure engineering Sites 
212A or B depending on size and condition. Functional instances 
are to be moved to 212A for potential reactivation and reverse 
engineering. Non-functional instances are to be moved to 212B for 
proper thaumaturgic disposal, and destruction. 


All tests, operations, and information requests for SCP-3706-380 are 
subject to Level 5 approval. Key personnel who have knowledge of 
SCP-3706-380 have been granted restricted level 5 clearance to 
necessary documents pertaining to OPERATION HIGH TIDE. 
Abuse of this clearance is grounds for termination. 


Site 212A 


Site 212A is a facility located on the Dunnethead Pennisula 
southeast of the Orkney islands encompassing an area of 12 km2. 
Three 500 m2 vehicle storage warehouses are positioned along the 
coastline, with open access to coastal waters for functional testing of 
reactivated SCP-3706 instances. A permanent staff of 1000+ 
individuals, including MTF-Sigma 32 ("Recovery Wizards") are 
housed on site at all times. 


The area directly encompassing 212A has been designated as a No 


Fly zone by the government of the UK. This status extends into the 
surrounding oceanic waters in a 2 km radius. 


Site 212B 


Site 212B is a facility located on the Western coast of Hoy Island. 
Site 212B consists of a 50 m x 20 m compound capable of housing 
and decommissioning non-functional thaumaturgic items. Site 212B 
has a permanent security staff of 15, and 5 thaumaturgic demolition 
experts. 


Description: SCP-3706 are a large number of recovered and 
potential undiscovered vehicles with unique properties, several 
universal common factors, and varying functional attributes. Each 
SCP-3706 instance is capable of traversing aquatic environments, 
either as a submersible, or sea floor based all terrain vehicle. Each 
vehicle resembles known species of ocean fauna, though significant 
deviations from these animal species have been observed in many 
recovered instances, as is described in Table T-3705-01. Individual 
vehicles are primarily composed of organo-metallic polymers, with 
the oldest variants having been carved from stone. Vehicles that do 
not use appendage based locomotion employ a jet propulsion 
mechanism involving the intake and rapid expulsion of ocean water 
through adjustable vents. 


SCP-3706 instances are diverse in both appearance and specific 
function, ranging from automated collection vehicles less than 3 m in 
length (designed to collect food, minerals, and other materials) to 
large scale assault vessels more than 200 m in length. Each 
SCP-3706 instance is powered via a spatial distortion contained 
within a crystalline chamber composed of corundum, which 
produces high energy material bearing marked similarity to that 
found in SCP-3703. The size of both the crystal and the distortion 
appears to vary based on the size of the vehicle; however, the 
crystals of all recovered non-functional instances are either 
shattered or missing. 


When in an active state, all SCP-3706 instances emit a dull 
"humming" noise. Active SCP-3706 instances possess carved 
channels where luminescence will "flow" across their exterior 


surfaces, forming patterns, artistic depictions of the vehicle's history, 
and Proto-Nordic runic script containing instructions on how to 
properly operate and maintain each vehicle. Additionally, manually 
piloted SCP-3706 instances tend to have detailed markings, carved 
by the former operator onto their vehicles, in the form of three toed 
hoofprints. These appear to serve a statistical role, similar to the 
manner in which pilots during World Wars 1 and 2 would track 
enemy kills by painting flags onto their vehicles, . 


Table T-3706-01 


The following table contains selected entries describing the various 
instances of SCP-3706. Vehicles are assigned designations based 
on their type and relative functionality compared to other SCP-3706 
instances rather than by order in which they were discovered. Prior 
documentation included designations based on order of discovery, 
these designations have been changed databasewide in order to 
avoid confusion. 


Subdesignation Vehicle Type Description 
SCP-3706-01 Self-Propelled Collection of vehicles 

Automated Collection recovered off the 
coast of the 
Peloponnese 
Pennisula. Vehicles 
ranged in size from 
0.3 to 2 meters in 
width, 0.1 to 1.5 
meters in height, and 
resembled varying 
members of the 
infraorder Brachyura.' 
Notable common 
features included 
replacement of the 
claws with four slotted 
limbs possessing 
varying tools. 3 
instances possessed 
grafted human hands. 


SCP-3706-09 


SCP-3706-15 


Self Propelled 
Automated Collection 


Personal Transport 


All instances were 
functional at time of 
recovery. 

Numerous vehicles 
recovered in a large 
number of rivers in the 
United Kingdom and 
continental Europe, as 
well as portions of the 
North Atlantic, North 
and Baltic Seas. 
Vehicles range in size 
from 0.5 mto 5 min 
length, and width. Due 
to their size, the 
majority of recovered 
instances resemble 
the Atlantic Bluefin 
Tuna, with notable 
differences in the 
mouth, which lacks 
any teeth, and a large 
cavity at the very tip of 
the tail, often 
possessing 
luminescent markings 
across the exterior. All 
instances make a 
constant humming 
described as “eerie.” 
Vehicle recovered off 
the coast of Iceland. It 
measures 
approximately 8 
meters in length, 6 in 
width, and 5 in height. 
Vehicle resembles the 
Dorado/Mahi-Mahi, 
with notable 
modifications,

including large hollow 
chambers with 
sufficient seating for 
15 individuals, four 
large yellow orbs2 
arranged 
equidistantly, with two 
on either side of the 
vehicle, and remnants 
of thaumaturgic power 
nodes leading to what 
may have once been 
weaponry. Inscriptions 
on the interior of the 
vehicle have been 
translated and 
interpreted to "Place 
your hand on the 
triangle, the big green 
one, and press down. 
If she doesn't start, 
bang the fins several 
times. She's old and 
Cranky.” 

Vehicle recovered off 
the coast of the 
Canary Islands. 
Approximately 2.5 m 
in length, 1.4 min 
width, and 1 min 
height. Resembles 
Carcharhinus leucas3 
with notable 
modifications to the 
"nose" of the vehicle 
which broaden it into a 
sickle moon shape, 
possessing four 
carved grooves with 
corundum coating the 


interior. The vehicles's 
dorsal fins possess 
inscribed markings in 
the shape of three 
toed hoof-prints, with 
a total of 60 spread 
across the vehicle. 
Proto-Nordic runes 
are inscribed along 
several parts of the 
vehicle, with notable 
differences in the style 
of carvings. For the 
sake of brevity, these 
have been recorded in 
the section below. 

SCP-3706-380 Capital Ship Details have been 
classified in 
accordance with 
tenants of 
OPERATION HIGH 
TIDE. Documents 
have been appended 
in the addenda below, 
level 5 clearance 
required. 


Translation T-3706-01: 
The following contains an interpretation of the inscribed runes on 
SCP-3706-230. 


"Hey hotshot, congrats on getting your certification. This 
beauty is named BJORT. She's good, but to earn her 
trust, you're going to have to hit at least five humans in 
the water, and make sure you get their blood in her 
mouth." ~Snorre
