Work on the Foundation grade Bee Trackers is 
slow, not that | care. | gave that project to one 
of my subordinates. What really interests me is 
reversing the damn infection all together. If we 
could do that then there would be no need for 
these stupid suits!

Uncle Ben says that with more power comes 
more responsibility. All | see is more 
responsibility though. These past two weeks | 
went to Spain, France, the U.K., Belgium, the 
Netherlands and then Germany. | spent the 
entire time shouting orders and requests at my 
team. The infected politicians are still sitting 
and acting all pretty, so there's that. 


During my "stay" we collected some 100 odd 
human SCP-3368-1 instances as well. 
Immigrants, as | call them. | hope that we're 
treating them better than the GOC would have. 
| really do. With so little time on my hands 
though | can only hope. It doesn't help that the 


in-house trackers that we're using are bad at 
their jobs. | have had to start running them by 
people twice in order to catch false negatives. 
Since when did Foundation tech become 
dumb as shit? 


We also collected more animals than | can 
count. Mostly pigeons. There were so many 
that the majority had to be incinerated. We just 
don't have the resources to save them all, and 
| told my staff to prioritize keeping the 
immigrants safe and happy. 


| recently caught wind from a GOC official that 
"Hive Collapse" executed another 145 people, 
127 of which were Chaos Insurgency 
operatives. | asked if the remaining 18 were 
civilians or GOC personnel, but they didn't 
answer.

| wish that these suits didn't have name tags. 
I've burned through so many D-Class 
Personnel that everyone's started to give me 
dirty looks. | can see it through their stupid 
helmets. Those damn brain hives are so 
fragile. Each time you kill one of those memory 
bees, the patient loses a memory. How am | 
supposed to take information from the bees? 
How am | supposed to transfer it back into the 
patient? How am | supposed to do any of this 
without killing the patient? 


...Perhaps this anomaly can only be reversed 
with other anomalies...

| had the displeasure of running into Bear 
today. He immediately tried to scan me, that 
bastard. | punched him in the face. Then | had 
two of my women restrain him while | scanned 
him. He didn't really struggle. | guess he was 
trying to act high and mighty or something. 
Dumbass.

Personal Log Entry #948: 

It took an entire month for the O5-Council to 
approve cross-testing with other SCPs. What 
even took them so long? All the O5-Council 
had to do was vote on it. | hate being stuck in 
bureaucratic limbo. 


05-2 tried to sway me from using SCPs but 
whatever. Removing this infection either 
requires extensive brain surgery the likes that 
no one has seen before or a straight up 
miracle cure. Constructing the latter is merely 
more time efficient given our resources. I've 
tried a couple of SCPs thus far, but the results 
were undesirable. | have a whole bunch of 
other combinations left though. I'm sure that at 
least one of them will work. 


I'd like to say that everyone's gotten used to 
the suits, but the atmosphere around here is a 
lot darker than the usual shade of grey that I'm 
used to. | learned a week ago or so that a 
couple of my coworkers were quarantined. No 
one important, just minor acquaintances really. 
Still, | wonder what they did to get themselves 
infected.

| went through a lot of Africa last month, and 


I'm going to go through a lot more of Africa this 
month. Those damn flights to O5-2's monthly 
meeting really don't do me any favors. Why 
does management always need so many 
damn status updates? 


A few of the politicians have been pretty sour. 
They keep yakking on about how they don't 
like their every move monitored and so forth. 
Of course they don't. No one does. But that's 
the kind of situation we're in | tell them. They 
didn't act well to that but so it goes. 


Things are going to get real bad soon. Based 
on our information, politicians will start 
developing noticeable mutations before the 
year's out. We've managed to cover most of 
them up with hats, trenchcoats, operations, 
and the like, but there's only so much you can 
do, even with plastic surgery. 


| just want to see my family again. 
~Darva 


Personal Log Entry #963: 

I've read a few hundred potential candidates 
for infection reversal and performed dozens of 
cross-tests. A lot of these SCPs are just 
nonsensical. A bunch of completely useless 
things that serve no purpose other than to 
drive scientists mad... and cause containment 
breaches. | may have caused one or two of 
those. Three, tops. This line of work is starting 
to get to me. Nothing seems to work and the 
infection is an extremely advanced 
phenomenon. It's like I'm trying to find a cure 
for cancer and all | have to work with is a first 
aid kit and a wardrobe full of knives, sporks, 
and comedy routines. 


At least I'm not the only one that hasn't 
produced results though. No one's been able 
to truly replicate the Bee Trackers with 
Foundation tech. | can only assume that they 
can't replicate it due to their aversion to the 
paranormal. They're still using the crappy in- 
house trackers because of it. Infection 
inspectors have to run them by a person three 
to five times to catch false negatives. 


Speaking of which, some idiots on my 
research team went and got themselves 
infected. That's just typical. Can't trust anyone 
but yourself around here anymore. Too much 
stupid in the air.

Happy Thanksgiving! Instead of enjoying time 
with my family, I'm in YEMEN. 


My tour across the Middle East has been... 
unfortunate. A lot of people here had to be 
quarantined. The politicians have been acting 
up as well. Threatening to break the 
masquerade or throw ORIA at us. If they did 
that then we really would be in trouble. The 
GOC would probably throw a fit and torch the 
place... or maybe we'd have to pull the trigger. 
| hope not. 


| told O5-2 about this. She said that she would 
bring it up with the rest of the Council. 
Hopefully, they come up with some resolution 
to this before it becomes a real problem. 


There is one piece of good news that | have to 
mention. Apparently, word has it that Bear 
finally got himself infected! Don't know how it 
happened, and | don't care. Either way, he's as 


good as dead, which is fine enough with me. 
~Darva 


Personal Log Entry #1033: 

An entire year and a half have passed me by, 
and I'm no closer to a solution. Every single 
one of my anomalous combinations has failed. 
Some of them fail within the expected 
parameters. Others have nearly cost me my 
life. Most of them kill the patient, and all of 
them have cost me my dignity. | even got 
permission to try SCP-500, and it DIDN'T DO 
SHIT. How is that even possible? 


To make matters worse, the infection rate has 
increased within these past months. What the 
hell was Darva doing? What the hell am / 
doing? 


| just scanned myself. It shows positive for 
infection. They'll be on me in any minute now. 
I'll be able to continue my research in 
quarantine, but what's even the point? I'm so 
fucking useless.

My worst fear is coming true. Not one, but 
multiple politicians have lost it and spoke up 
against The Foundation on national television. 
| have had it up to here with those damn 
prudes. They could have aired out their issues 
with us through more diplomatic methods 


instead of running their mouth. 


| don't know what the future will hold, but if any 
of those politicians are serious this means war. 
Potentially an Occult War, which would be 
catastrophic. | don't want to see my loved ones 
killed or jailed because of some dumb bee that 
we can't even see! | just want to see my damn 
family again. 


| have a plan. Everyone in the occult world 
knows that the safest place on Earth is behind 
Foundation bars, right? My next stop on this 
infernal world tour is close enough to my 
house. We're bound to find some infected 
individuals here, and when we do, I'll

Addendums 3368.11 - 3368.33: Events Transpiring Between 
Addendums 3368.11 and 3368.33: 

NOTICE: Events in this era pertaining to SCP-3368 can only be 
passed down to those of a lesser clearance by an O5 Council 
Member. If it is absolutely essential for your job, you may petition a 
request for this information using Form #3368.B.33. 


Addendum 3368.34: The 05-Council met on — —_ 2022 to discuss 
the future of SCP-3368 and SCP-3368-1 individuals. 


[LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED TO VIEW "O5_Transcript_ _ _< 


Transcript Log of 05-Council Meeting on / /2022. 
Subject: 05-2 Proposal Regarding SCP-3368. 


05-1: The next topic of our agenda is O5-2's... 
"proposal". 


O5-6: This is the most brain-dead plan that 
I've ever seen. 


05-8: It goes against everything that The 
Foundation is. 


05-2: These are valid points, however- 
(laughter) 


05-2: However, this is no longer a problem 
that ideals can solve. The masquerade broke. 
A [REDACTED] of Foundation personnel are 
either behind our own bars or dead. 


05-11: So we're just supposed to give up and 
let the entire Earth become infected in some 
sort of "HB-Beepocalypse" scenario? 


O5-4: | still can't believe that we added that 
scenario to the list. 


O5-2: Now listen here: The bee people siill 
retain their memories and personality. They're 
still human. 


O5-5: Yes, and they can be controlled and 
manipulated. 


05-8: Their memories can be outright stolen. 
That's a huge security risk that you're 
overlooking. 


O5-2: My research team has developed 
techniques to prevent personality alteration 
and memory stealing. 


O5-6: We've read your paper darn it. Are your 
techniques economically efficient? Because 
we'd have to dose the entire planet. 


Q5-2: The techniques could use a little more 
funding. 


OQ5-1: Let's not get ahead of ourselves, O5-2. 


analysis of the vault indicated recent weapons fire and blood traces. 


In 19 The Foundation was made aware of a break in at 
House, an MCD holding. Examination of police reports allowed The 
Foundation to locate SCP-434 before it was recovered by MCD. 


Carbon dating of the wood from which SCP-434 is constructed 
indicates that it is approximately 3000 years old. The theory 
currently held by Foundation researchers is that SCP-434 was built 
from material salvaged from a much older SCP. 


SCP-434 has proven a useful tool in both personnel evaluation and 
non-standard interrogation. Its use to alter the behaviours of 
troublesome subjects is pending approval. 


« SCP-433 | SCP-434 | SCP-435 » 


O5-2: Well, my arguments for support are 
clearly listed in the proposal. Surely I'm not the 
only one here who sees the need for us to 
reverse direction? 


05-3: You are not. I've been talking with the 
Ethics Committee Chairman recently, and 
apparently, they're about to vote on some anti- 
discrimination rights for the bee people. 


05-9: The kind that could put is in hot water? 


05-3: Potentially. Even if it doesn't, morale is 
down the toilet. We've had a large number of 
riots and brain drains over these past few 
years, and there's nothing to indicate that 
they'll stop. 


O5-4: Our treatment of the bee people has 
been ruining our image with most of the other 
Gols. At this rate, our only ally will be the 
GOC, and they've been having significant 
troubles recently. 


05-10: Personally, | believe that we should 
have gone through with this proposal a long 
time ago. Aside from our current direction 
being unethical, how are we supposed to 
survive the future when we don't offer bee 
people the same benefits as everyone else? A 
good chunk of the best of the class is being 
taken by Gols simply because of their 
anomalies. 


05-12: This leads into my reason for support: 
Cost. | took a look at the data and we have not 
made a statistically significant decrease in the 
infection rate. Furthermore, financially we are 
a shell in comparison to our former selves from 
five years ago. At this point, it would be more 
cost effective to make humanity's 


transformation occur smoothly. 


O5-11: | repeat myself: 'So we're just 
supposed to give up?' Has no one tried to 
develop an antidote? Or wiping the slate 
clean? 


05-2: Early on the research team was lead by 
one Makshi Bickers. Her attempts to reverse 
the infection resulted in numerous containment 
breaches, deaths, and her permanent 
residence at a psychological ward when she 
finally lost her mind. 


05-8: Okay, so one scientist failed to step up 
to the plate. That hasn't stopped us before. 
That's like saying that we should've stopped 
developing improvements to the Scranton 
Reality Anchors just because of what 
happened to Dr. Scranton. I'm certain that 
there's a scientific solution to this and that 
you're all just too reluctant to find it. 


05-12: | agree with you on this one O5-8. 
However finding a cure for SCP-3368 could 
take decades of resources, which could be 
better used for more deadly SCPs. 


O5-11: You assume it will take decades of 
resources 05-12, but you can't say that you 
know for sure. 


O5-12: True. 


05-11: What about the militaristic approach of 
wiping the slate clean? The GOC has had 
excellent results using this approach in the 
past. 


Q5-2: With all due respect, the GOC is in an 
even worse position than we are. What 


personnel they haven't lost to the Chaos 
Insurgency they've lost by their own hands. 
They used to be comprised of 108 occult 
organizations, but now they number at just 77, 
one of which was wiped out completely. 


O5-5: Ah yes, I've read about that! The 
Bavarian Illuminati was never the brightest of 
organizations. 


05-1: Now listen here: We don't do what we 
do because it's easy. We frequently command 
The Foundation to destroy lives and burn 
resources, and we do it for the sake of 
normalcy! 


Q5-2: 05-1, you act as though this is some 
sort of end of the world scenario when it's 
really more of a... 


05-9: LK-Class Change of Species Scenario? 


05-3: I'm not sure about that one. Genetically 
speaking DNA changes only occur after an 
infection, and the offspring of two bee people 
is technically still a "normal" human for the first 
few weeks. Maybe in a few decades, that 
scenario could occur, however. 


(30 seconds pass) 


05-4: Then what if it's just an AS-Class 
Normalcy Alteration Scenario? 


O5-2: Yes, that sounds about right. 


O5-1: That scenario is reserved for the non- 
anomalous, like the rise of the Internet or the 
Industrial Revolution. 


O5-5: We could make an exception. 


O5-6: Sure, why not? We're already making 
an exception to our gosh darn principles. 


O5-5: It looks like this is one of those issues 
that we're pretty divided on. Perhaps we 
should just vote instead of arguing for the next 
hour? 


O5-7: This is a significant decision O5-5. It's 
not going to be settled in an hour. 


05-5: | know it's a significant decision, that's 
why it's not going to be settled for decades to 
come. 


O5-8: | have an addendum that | would like to 
add to your proposal O5-2: In the event that 
your proposal comes to pass we must offer 
facilities to harbor the remnants of... non-bee 
persons. Both live specimens and machines 
that are able to produce non-anomalous 
humans. We'll put these people with 
SCP-2000. This is a precautionary move in 
case your mistake costs us not only our sanity 
but our humanity as well. 


O5-6: If that's the case I'll be willing to move to 
that area. Anything to get me away from those 
bees. 


05-2: That's fine with me. Any complaints with 
this addendum? 


(30 seconds pass) 


05-1: Doesn't look like it. Does anyone have 
anything meaningful to add?
