You must by now be concerned, not having had a letter 
from me for such a long time. Well the news of the 
landings in Italy must by now be well known all over 
England, so | am able to tell you that about seventy lads 
including myself were drafted into the Foresters to make 
them up to strength for the assault at Salerno. We only 
knew that it was for real when a dive bomber shot at us 
in the landing craft. 


SCP-521-31 Redaction present on original letter. 


My dearest Pammie, 

Thank you for your letter, giving me all the news. | can 

now give you a little more news from this side. 

We have just finished five weeks at and are at 

the moment enjoying a rest by the Baltic coast, in the 
area. We were given the job a couple of days 

after the place was captured and we stayed to burn the 

pestilential huts to the ground - about five weeks 

altogether. 


Addendum 521-27: During test SCP-521-D4, the retrieved letter 
was dissimilar to previous examples. Only a short fragment of text 
was recoverable from SCP-521-7 due to fire damage. 


Veronica, | send this letter as it may be my last. I'm 
passing it onto a civilian detachment headed away from 
the containment zone in the hopes it reaches you safely. 
| can't say much, but | just want you to know that | love 
you so much. I'm sorry for what has happened, | couldn't 
tell you before all this, but it's our faul- 


The letter is written on the reverse of a Kellogg's ‘Coco Pops' brand 
cereal box. The partial expiry date present gives an estimated 
production date of January 21 . The date of the letter's writing is

Addendum-02: SCP-001-01 through SCP-001-05 were initially 
recovered on / /1944 in Jerusalem, during investigation of 
supposed miracles and other anomalous events in the area by the 
HMFSCP. SCP-001-01 through SCP-001-05 were found in the care 
of three individuals, classified as POI-1458, POI-1459, and 
POI-1460. Said individuals possess possible ties to GOI-16 “The 


Horizon Initiative”, and may have had a hand in its founding. 


The recovery effort was hindered by factional fighting within the 
HMFSCP. SCP-001-01 was severely injured in the resulting firefight, 
but was successfully stabilized and recovered along with the other 
subjects, and passed into the jurisdiction of the Preservationist 
faction. The individuals responsible for sheltering the SCP-001 
subjects fled during the fighting and were not able to be 
apprehended. 


Interview Log 001-11-02 
The following interview with SCP-001-05 was recorded on / /19 . 


Dr. : You spoke last time of having a specific 
purpose. Could you please explain? 


SCP-001-05: | am here to help set things right. 
Dr. : Go on. 


SCP-001-05: The world is broken, Doctor, and my 
brothers and sisters and | are here to heal it, to gather 
together and prepare the way for what is to come. The 
process has already been set in motion, though 
regrettably, there have been some setbacks. 


Dr. : Please explain. 


SCP-001-05: [SCP-001-01], he was the one who was to 
gather all the rest. With him now hovering between life 
and death, that duty falls to us, but we know only 
glimpses of a few others in our number. It is enough. 


Dr. : You don’t fear for his safety? 


SCP-001-05: Death is just another part of what is meant 
to be. It’s nothing to fear. 


Dr. : An admirable view of things. How did you learn 
of your purpose? 


SCP-001-05: | had a dream. Portent, prophecy, 
hallucination, call it what you will. It planted a seed in my 
head, an intuition you might say. It was the next day | 
met [SCP-001-01]. 


Dr. : Can you describe the dream? 


SCP-001-05: There was a man, a man in rich clothing, 
like a king or emperor. He kept saying “Where is the 
tailor? Where is my tailor?” and pacing back and forth. 
Each time he asked it, another voice would answer “He 
is close now, he is close at hand”. But he did not arrive. 
The man became more and more upset, and as he 
paced moths came and landed on him, and began to eat 
away at his clothing. His robes began to fray and rot as 
more and more moths landed on him, and some even bit 
his skin. But then, the doors opened and there arrived 
not one tailor, but dozens, led by the most masterful 
tailor in the kingdom. The king was overjoyed, for he 
knew he would be saved from the moths that tried to 
consume him. | woke up then, and | knew. He found me, 
and | followed him. 


Dr. : If you’ll pardon the dramatic phrasing, when all 
of you come together, the world will end, correct? 


SCP-001-05: [Chuckling] Doctor, the world has already 
ended. This was to be the last war. The world’s time has 
come and gone, and it is stretching thinner by the day 
until there will be nothing left but the moths. But, there is 
still some time left. We can find each other on our own. 


Dr. : And when that happens? 

SCP-001-05: Quiet days, Doctor. Quiet days and peace.

Document 001-EX 


+ AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY 


Foreword: Due to SCP-001's possible Abrahamic roots 
and its potent effects on religion-based anomalies of a 
similar origin, a test to establish if its effects have a wider 
base was required. SCP-361 was chosen for this test as 
a low-risk, non-Abrahamic religious object with easily 
observable effects. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-001-02 is instructed to introduce a 
sheep’s liver to SCP-361. 


SCP-361: Welcome to HarusCo! We- oh, it’s 
you. 


SCP-001-02: So it would seem. 


SCP-361: Well, if you’re calling, that means... 
oh hell. It’s time already. 


SCP-001-02: Yes. 


SCP-361: Well, we suppose we should have 
seen it coming. Traffic has been getting very 
thin lately. Guess it’s time to go. 


SCP-001-02: You will be there with us, when 
everything is in order again. 


SCP-361: Assuming you'll be able to do it. 
Well, kid, we guess this is goodbye. We know 
we and your boss didn’t always see eye to 
eye, but we had a good run, overall. It's been 
fun. 


SCP-001-02: You'll be there, | promise. 


SCP-361: And we don’t doubt for a second 
that you believe that. See you on the other 


side, kid. Or not. 


SCP-001-02: Heh. | can't remember the last 
time anyone called me a kid. 


<Connection Terminated> 


Closing statement: following Test 001/361, SCP-361 
ceased to function. Any attempts to introduce its usual 
stimulant to it produced only a sound similar to that of a 
disconnected dial tone. 


Foreword: SCP-738 was chosen for experimentation 
due to possible thematic links. No physical description of 
the entity (henceforth designated SCP-738-4) was 
provided by SCP-001-03. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-738-4: Well, look who it is! How the hell 
have you been? What can | do for you? 


SCP-001-03: Just a message delivery, Jack. 
Next time you head back, tell everyone to get 
ready. The contract is winding down. 


SCP-738-4: Are you shitting me? Not pulling 
some sort of trickery-fuckery? 


SCP-001-03: Not at all. 


SCP-738-4: Really time for the scrap, eh? 
Bloody asshole fuck it’s been long enough. 
Y’know what? For you, no charge. It’s on me 
this time. Right out of the kindness of my 
shriveled black heart. 


SCP-001-03: Well, maybe not so black. 


SCP-738-4: [Laughs, slaps table] You’re killing 
me here! See, that’s why | like you: always got 


a joke and a smile. 
<Close Log> 


Closing Statement: Contract left by SCP-738-4 read “It’s 
on the house. — X”. SCP-001-03 offered no explanation 
as to why SCP-738-4 was referred to as “Jack”. 
SCP-738 currently displays no anomalous effects when 
used and has been reclassified as SCP-738-N. 


Foreword: onthe / /_ , 18:03, as all four instances of 
SCP-1295 were leaving the diner they were addressed 
by an individual, later classified SCP-001-014. Since the 
containment procedures for SCP-1295 did not allow for 
the direct intervention of Foundation personnel in this 
scenario, the conversation was instead recorded. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-001-014: Gentlemen, if | might have a 
moment of your time? 


SCP-1295-4: Why, look who's finally here! 
Boy, do you know how long we've been 
waiting for you to show up? What took you? 


SCP-001-014: | apologize. | was only recently 
made aware of my duties. 


SCP-1295-1: Ah, don't worry about it, kid, 
Dwight here is just being an ass. What he 
meant to say is that it's damn good to finally 
see you. 


SCP-1295-2: Aye. Not that sitting here wasn't 
nice, but a man can only eat so many fruit 
cobblers before he gets tired of them. It's time 
to get back to business. 


SCP-001-014: That is indeed what I'm here 
for. The time for your ride is drawing near. | 


was tasked with letting you know this, and 
asking you to begin the preparations. | was 
told you would know what to do. 


SCP-1295-3: That we do, my lad, that we do. 
I'm not one to brag, but there ain't no one in 
the business that knows better. 


SCP-001-014: | would like you to remember 
that we live in different times. This task 
requires a Surgeon's scalpel, not a 
broadsword. You'll need to be gentle, this time 
around. 


SCP-1295-1: Blast. | was afraid you'd say that. 


SCP-1295-4: Don't you worry. We'll be as 
gentle as anyone could ask for. | suspect we'll 
see you again before all of this is through, my 
boy. You take care. [to SCP-1295-1 through 3] 
C'mon, lads! Time's a wasting, and we got a 
lot of stuff to get ready! Ride out!" 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: All four instances of SCP-1295 
proceeded to leave the diner. Following their departure, 
Foundation personnel detained SCP-001-014 and took 
him into custody without further incident. No instances of 
SCP-1295 returned to the diner following this 
conversation, or were seen since. 


Foreword: Following the death of SCP-001-05, Site 87's 
Archaeological Containment Unit underwent a class-DK 
event (Dimensional Shift), vanishing and therefore 
becoming inaccessible to outside access or 
communication. Following the death of SCP-001-12, Site 
87 returned to its previous position. Upon its return, an 
exploration team was sent to investigate SCP-1348's 
containment status, and discovered the following 


currently unknown. 


« SCP-520 | SCP-521 | SCP-522 » 


alterations to its workings: 


All Foundation personnel present on-site at the 
time of its disappearance were absent, as was 
their personal gear, technical equipment and food 
rations. 


Five (5) new instances of SCP-1348-1 appeared in 
SCP-1348's inner chamber. Unlike the previously 
discovered SCP-1348-1-E, these new instances 
appeared to be in perfect health. Said instances 
were found performing SCP-1348-2. 


The ritual designated SCP-1348-2 has been 
altered, likely due to the presence of the 
aforementioned instances of SCP-1348-1. 
Performance of the altered SCP-1348-2 by 
instances of SCP-1348-1 lacks the memetic effect 
of its previous incarnation. Since SCP-1348-3's 
veil was now permanently opened, the purpose of 
the altered SCP-1348-2 is currently unclear. 


The inner chamber designated SCP-1348-3 was 
significantly altered. The decorations in the 
chamber, formerly all of proto-Semitic style, now 
included designs from a much wider selection of 
cultures, including Mesoamerican, proto-Indo- 
European, and Antarctican, in addition to designs 
clearly originating from a much later period than 
SCP-1348 supposed construction date.
