SCP-3811: Nobody has ever lost their power 
before... At least, nobody that | know of. 
You're recovering, and you lost your power. 
Did you even need it? 


Dr. MacArthur: What do you mean? 


SCP-3811: | mean... am | really helping 
people? Because whenever | give people 
powers, it either kills them or it prevents them 
from actually facing what they're really afraid 
of. 


Dr. MacArthur: Miss __, you know that's not 
necessarily true. I'm recovering just fine after 
our therapy session— 


SCP-3811: Because you got actual help. 
Because you had someone help you face your 
fears instead of getting help from me who just 
tried to force you around them. 


Dr. MacArthur: Shaun, you do actually help 
people. Look back at the people that you've 
helped! Thanks to you, Dr. Moyumi isn't afraid 
of snakes! Like, she was literally completely 
petrified of them, and thanks to you, she can 
walk past a snake and not even worry. 


SCP-3811: For every one there's another ten 
I've ruined. 


Dr. MacArthur: Well... sometimes you just 
need the one. 


SCP-3811 is silent. 


SCP-3811: I... I'm sorry, but | don't want to 
talk anymore. | just want to be alone right now. 


Dr. MacArthur: Alright... Do you want me to 
come back next week? 


SCP-3811 shrugs. 


Dr. MacArthur: I'm... I'll see you next week 
then, Miss

SCP-3812: A Voice Behind Me 


Item #: SCP-3812 


Object Class: 
Keter! 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3812 is currently only 
partially contained. See containment proposal brief below for more 
information. 


Keter-Class Containment Proposal Brief?: SCP-3812 is to be 
constantly monitored by Mobile Task Force Ganymede-66 “Starlight 
Knights”, who are to maintain a 5km quarantined area of exclusion 
around SCP-3812. The acting MTF GY-66 Team Lead, in 
conjunction with Site-86 research staff, is allowed fiat authority in 
regards to any aspect of SCP-3812’s containment. Special care 
must be taken in order to prevent unnecessary exposure to 
SCP-3812. 


Current containment efforts focus on mitigating SCP-3812’s 
influence on population centers, as well as research into the full 
breadth of SCP-3812’s anomalous capabilities in order to establish a 
more comprehensive containment procedure. Information Security 
teams are to monitor all forms of digital media in order to prevent 
widespread awareness of SCP-3812. 


SCP-3812 has an active, aggressive, anomalous influence on 
reality. SCP-3812 is capable of altering events throughout times to 
prevent its containment. Due to the nature of these alterations, it is 
highly unlikely that any individual affected by SCP-3812’s 
anomalous influence will be aware that they are affected. It is highly 
likely that most affected individuals no longer exist as a result of 
SCP-3812’s influence, though any attempt to deduce how often this 
has happened would be speculative. 


Description: SCP-3812 is a reality altering entity. Due to 
SCP-3812's latent effect on reality, it is nearly impossible to describe 
SCP-3812 in any meaningful way. All that is known about SCP-3812 
is that it was once Sam Howell, a non-anomalous African-American 
human being, who was believed to have died in 1996. Sometime 
shortly after its death, SCP-3812 was observed rising out of its 
grave and disappearing. SCP-3812 was brought to the Foundation's 
attention after its presence resulted in the demolition of an 
apartment building in Warsaw, Poland. Due to its anomalous 
capabilities, SCP-3812's appearance varies significantly, making it 
exceedingly difficult to track. SCP-3812 is currently located at 
26°26'49"S 137° 56’27’W over the South Pacific Ocean. 


SCP-3812 exhibits signs of an extremely advanced Eigenmann- 
Veitor schizophrenia complex‘, specifically: extreme paranoia, 
extreme dysphoria, extreme mania/depression, inability to properly 
perceive their surroundings, inability to discern the difference 
between the real and imagined, inability to differentiate between 
living and dead beings, inability to control expressions of emotion, 
hearing voices that are not there, seeing things that are not there, 
feeling or otherwise experiencing stimuli that do not exist, etcd. 


In the twenty years since SCP-3812 was initially discovered, these 
symptoms have grown steadily worse. Originally, SCP-3812 was 
responsive to questioning and sought help in managing its condition 
from Foundation researchers. Over time, SCP-3812 became more 
isolated and withdrawn, eventually becoming entirely unresponsive 
and acting in erratic and unpredictable ways. Currently, SCP-3812 is 
not able to accurately perceive the world around it, and will 
occasionally® alter reality in order to diminish the discrepancy 
between how it perceives something, and the way that something is 
in actuality. Due to this, it is impossible to know how often reality has 
been modified, only how often SCP-3812 has not created a clean 
alteration’ and has left behind evidence of its influence on reality. 


SCP-3812 is impossible to contain within any form of containment 
cell. SCP-3812 will alter reality to remove the containment cell, or 
move itself to another location, drastically impeding containment 
efforts. SCP-3812 seems to subconsciously resist attempts at 
containment, as well. Even if it is caught unaware, SCP-3812 cannot 


be tranquilized or amnesticized, as SCP-3812 will alter reality to 
remove or eliminate any threats to itself or its freedom of movement. 
Because of this, current containment efforts focus on mitigating 
damage and expressions of SCP-3812’s symptoms as opposed to 
outright containment. 


Over time, SCP-3812 has become significantly less humanoid in 
appearance, and is now only vaguely humanoid and occasionally 
manifests in a variety of shapes and appearances. Additionally, 
SCP-3812 produces a latent anomalous effect on local reality, 
specifically in the form of temporal and spatial distortions 
surrounding the entity. These distortions are occasionally 
accompanied by random, violent outbursts that may dramatically 
shift or damage local space and time. While SCP-3812 is usually 
docile and aimless, its random outbursts are invariably fatal to any 
living creature nearby, and can be extremely disastrous on a 
massive scale if not properly contained. 


SCP-3812 manifested in its current form at its current location on 
July 19th, 2015. 


Addendum 3812.1: Interview 
+ ACCESS ADDENDUM 


Note: The following is an excerpt from an interview with 
SCP-3812 in 1999. SCP-3812 was initially contained by 
Foundation personnel and questioned at Site-17, where 
it began receiving treatment for its mental disease. 


[BEGIN LOG] 

Dr. Quint: Tell me how you’re feeling today. 
SCP-3812: Uncomfortable. Uneasy. 

Dr. Quint: Can you tell me why? 


SCP-3812: There's uh, uh, voices. Like usual. 
Things | can see, you know. The same. 


Dr. Quint: Is there something wrong? 


SCP-3812: | just... the things | see aren't 
going away. There are more of them. 
Different... | know | sound crazy, but it's like 
I'm addressing a dozen people at the same 
time, and more everyday. It's... (oauses) It 
hurts, pretty bad. | Know | sound nuts, I'm 
sorry. 


Dr. Quint: It's alright, you don't sound nuts. 
We just want to help you get better. 


SCP-3812: |... | don't know if you do. Or, | 
don't know if you can. In the story, you don't try 
to help. 


Dr. Quint: In the story? What story? 


SCP-3812: This is going to sound crazy, 
seriously, but | can- | can see what you're 
thinking. | Know you're afraid. You're scared of 
what | might do, and here in a minute, you'll... 
| don't know how to get it out of my head, how 
to start to undo this, if | even can. | don't even 
think he can. 


Dr. Quint: Who is he? 


SCP-3812: You... no, you can't see him. | can. 
| think he was above us at one point, but he's 
below me now. Yes, | see you there. | don't 
know what you did to me, but I'm pretty 
messed up, man. If you can figure something 
out here that would be great, because | really 
feel like I'm losing it. I'm scared too, man. 
You've got to do something, man. You've got 
to help me out here. Please, god, please. 


Dr. Quint: Who are you- 


SCP-3812: It doesn't matter (Pauses) | need 
to get—. 


SCP-3812 spontaneously disappears.

Addendum 3812.2: Memo from the Office of Dr. Yamamara 
regarding the 21/09/2015 “Report on SCP-3812’s Behavioural 
Instability and the Implication of Existential Threats” 


+ LEVEL 5 CLASSIFIED 


From the Office of Dr. Kari Yamamara 


| usually don’t like to lead into these things with 
hyperbole, so you'll have to take me at my 
word when | say that | believe SCP-3812 is the 
most dangerous anomaly on Earth, and 
potentially in the universe. | Know many of my 
coworkers would probably balk at me for 
saying that, and I’ve tried to reject the notion a 
fair few times myself, but we have a lot of 
evidence to suggest that I’m right, and that’s 
really bad for pretty much everything. 


When James Caldmann and Carlos Rzewski 
devised the Hume as a way to measure 
alterations in local reality, they probably saved 
the Foundation. Reality benders have always 
been the foot-long thorn in our side, the one 
we really couldn’t get our heads around. How 
do you combat or contain something that can 
blink you into non-existence? Thanks to Dr. 
Scranton, we had the reality anchors, but they 
only worked half the time and were less than 
useless the other half. We didn’t know how 
they worked, and we weren’t using them right. 


This changed when we began to measure 
reality and compare it to a baseline. We found 
out that our reality anchors could be tuned and 
adjusted, and that not all anchors were the 


same. It was a windfall for those of us who 
work in existential sciences, and suddenly 
Type Greens weren't the same kind of 
boogeymen they had been in the past. 


| mention all of this to give context to what I’m 
about to say next; our equipment cannot 
detect SCP-3812. |t's not machine error; we’ve 
tested our equipment countless times and it’s 
always consistent. It’s not user error; we’ve 
poured over and studied thousands of hours of 
logs from our tests, and it’s all come up clean. 
We have checked and rechecked more times 
than | can count over the last few months, and 
the results are consistent. 


So far as we can tell, this means one of three 
things, and none of them are good. The first is 
that SCP-3812 has an extremely low Hume 
value, something that our equipment, which 
exists in a space with a much higher Hume 
baseline, wouldn't be able to detect. The 
problem with this is that it creates a false 
vacuum; we’ve been working on the 
assumption that our baseline is the absolute 
minimum. If it turns out that this thing exists at 
a much lower Hume value, then that means 
that there are lower Hume values than what 
we believed were the minimum, which means 
any day our entire reality could fall into that 
existence and that would pretty much be the 
ballgame. 


The second option is that SCP-3812 exists at 
a much higher Hume value than anything 
we've ever tested. This would be pretty bad, 
as we've pointed our counters at anomalies 
that some would consider to be gods and 
we've gotten readings off of them. That being 
said, something with a Hume value so high 


that it cannot be measured with our equipment 
would likely have already destroyed us. Since 
SCP-3812 hasn’t done that, it’s likely not this. 


The last option is the worst. The last option is 
that SCP-3812 cannot be measured in Humes, 
because it’s doing something else. Whatever 
fundamental aspect of its nature that allows it 
to warp reality is not the same aspect as 
literally everything else we have ever come 
across. Scranton hypothesized8 that there 
might be higher and lower dimensions of 
reality, different levels of manipulation in the 
grand construction of the universe. The 
difference between manipulating a rock with 
your hands and manipulating a rock with an 
atom bomb. He called the thing being 
manipulated the “narrative”, and suggested 
that the narratives were stacked on top of 
either other, each creating the narrative of the 
narrative below it, and so on, until you reached 
some sort of dead space below them all. 


If that’s the case, and SCP-3812 is legitimately 
a Type Green of some higher order, we are 
absolutely fucked. The singular power to 
manipulate every facet of any and every 
aspect of everything we’ve ever encountered 
in the hands of someone genetically doomed 
by Eigenmann-Vietor. It’s a miracle it hasn’t 
happened yet, even by accident. So far as we 
know we can’t kill it, so we either wait for it to 
die (if it even can) or continue to pretend we 
have some semblance of control over it until it 
shreds our universe like some sort of cosmic 
woodchipper. 


In truth, it’s probably better for us that it’s 
insane. It isn’t capable of comprehending the 
kind of things it could do to us. It just acts on 


impulse, and things change to fit those 
impulses. But since it’s as locked in as it is, 
those changes stay local. Imagine if it got the 
idea in its head that it didn’t like the concept of 
empathy, and suddenly empathy no longer 
existed. We have evidence that suggests that 
may have already happened. A few sparse 
texts and individual accounts of half-forgotten 
memories, all consistent with a dirty reality 
alteration, all point to the idea that as recently 
as the 1980’s there was a concept, potentially 
even something as fundamental as an 
emotion, that no longer exists. An entire 
concept, wiped clean from reality and the 
collective consciousness of all sentient beings, 
just like you'd wipe a bug off of your 
windshield. 


The point of all of this, which | expand upon in 
the report, is that we need to start figuring 
something out about this one quickly. Every 
second we don’t come up with a way to 
neutralize SCP-3812 is one second closer to 
SCP-3812 becoming completely dissociated 
from its consciousness and all of us getting 
tossed in the aforementioned proverbial 
woodchipper. 


Stay in touch. Call my office if you need any 
more resources. Follow any convincing lead 
you can, and communicate with each other. 
We'll talk more soon.

SCP-496: A Sunken Relic 


Item #: SCP-496 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-496 is to be held in an 
aquatic containment unit located in Site-77's Safe SCP wing. The 
containment unit is to be flooded with seawater matching or as close 
as possible, to the mixture from the area of which it was recovered. 
Personnel are also to resupply nutrients to the water every 2 weeks 
via the filter system to keep the biological component of SCP-496 
nourished. Personnel with Level 2 clearance or higher are to be 
denied any direct access to SCP-496's containment unit. Level 1 
personnel who work directly with SCP-496 must submit to weekly 
psychological evaluations during and for 2 months after the period of 
contact.
