Surveillance Log-2999-2-1 


Foreword: Events take place after SCP-2999-A created SCP-2999- 
B. Prior to the first displayed log, SCP-2999-B discovered it was 
being recorded, took notice of itself, began making seemingly 
random letters and numbers appear before displaying "The quick 
brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Oh, that's it.", and then 
investigating various things around the room. This appears to be the 
point where SCP-2999-B discovered and began utilizing its 
anomalous properties. 


It is noted that in the back of the room, the photo of the 'Employee of 
the Month' changes from a security guard outfit to that of a tuxedo 
when SCP-2999-B is in view. Other distortions are not yet visible. 


could do to help. They will find you and thank you for it. 
That's a promise. 


Due to the continued occurrence of incidents confirmed or 
suspected to be related to SCP-360, it is suspected that additional 
instances of this documentation remain uncontained. MTF Alpha-4 
is continuing to monitor postal services for instances and contain 
them as they become identified.

[SCP-2999-B positions itself in direct sight of the security 
camera, and addresses the viewer] 


SCP-2999-B: This thing seems to operate off a VCR 
system, so it's probably secure. It'll have to do. To 
whoever sees this; my name is Dr. Stuart Hayward. I'm 
recording this in hopes of leaving some kind of trail for 
someone to see. | was a Foundation agent, and appear 
to be held inside Prometheus Labs. | am obviously dead; 
| died before this, and now I'm in this body. | don't recall 
how | died. | think it was while | was on duty, but | know it 
was at least a day ago from now. 


| think | was brought back for... Actually, god-knows 
what | was brought back for. Information, maybe? I've 
heard of the Insurgency doing that kind of thing before, 
bringing up the dead like this, but... Prometheus? That's 
never been their MO. Actually, | don't even think 
Prometheus could be behind this; this place is empty... 
Excluding the drones staring down the booth | trapped 
myself in, of course. 


Speaking of, | managed to wind up locking myself in here 
in an effort to escape. It was odd. They didn't really seem 
all that prepared for my trying to leave, it's like they just 
expected me to comply with them. Did a good job of 
herding me here though; albeit, | would have chosen a 
proper cage or broom closet as opposed to a security 
station where | could see everything they do, if that was 
their intention. 


Maybe they didn't know about this room. There was a 
thick bit of dust on the handle, so it's possible. Eh, it 
might be a good idea to make sure the booth's shutters 
are closed before | come in here. Assuming | do any 
interacting with them. 


The place looks pretty run down. | don't see anyone at 
all; | mean, | see a bunch of robots patrolling the floor, 


but no actual people. D- Did Prometheus experience a 
containment breach? It seems like it. I'm sure alarms 
would be going off if they were still in control of the 
place... What the hell did | miss? 


Wait... A drone's carrying something here... A laptop? 
It's heading this way... I'll be right back. 


[SCP-2999-B leaves the room, and returns two minutes 
and twenty three seconds later] 


This is Dr. Hayward again. I- | have no idea what is going 
on, they have some kind of computerized voice on the 
other side claiming to be Crowely. I'm looking at the 
cameras, and it looks like the robots are literally holding 
a laptop up to window. Are they trying to trick me with 
some kind of text to speech program or something? It 
could be some kind of video feed, but | can't get a decent 
enough look at the monitor, so | don't know. 


*sigh* She said that they want me to open the shutters a 
bit so they can slip me the laptop through the window. It 
could be Sarah, | guess, but it could also be some ploy 
to get better surveillance on me... You know what? 
Hardly anyone knew Sarah more than | did; I'll play. Not 
like | really have a choice anyway. Worst case scenario, 
they... Aw who am | kidding? There was never a 'worst 
case scenario’ at any point. 


Here's hoping that this conversation won't be entirely 
one-sided. 


[SCP-2999-B leaves, and re-enters one hour and forty 
two minutes later. SCP-2999-B closes the door behind 


it.] 


Well, it seems they brought Agent Crowely back too, 
albeit, through a different method than mine. | made sure 
it was her. | asked her things only she'd know; stupid 
things, like our favorite song, the last thing we worked on 
was before she died, things about when ten minute 


lobotomies were a popular thing... stupid things. 


Nothing specifically about the Foundation; | kept it 
related to us. Hell, | even asked her questions that | 
knew she'd get wrong, just to make sure she wasn't 
something that memorized everything about our lives. I'm 
sure it's her... | told her to wait there for a bit so | could 
find something to get her off the desk with so | could say 
this bit, just in case. 


I'm taking a risk; | Know that, but... I'm just tired of feeling 
like the only freak out of containment. If it comes to it, I'm 
going to try and slip them an auditory cognitohazard. 
Hopefully they'll repeat it and kill themselves. It'll most 
likely kill me too if they say it, but... it's probably better 
than the alternative. I'm saying this here, because | don't 
want some poor technician to find some record of me 
saying it again, and repeat the word out of confusion. 
The word is [DATA EXPUNGED]. Unless it got redacted 
already, don't repeat it. Just go tell your superior that | 
said a kill word, and if | say it again with someone else in 
the room, mute the audio before someone says it for 
real. 


Alright, I'm going back to get her... Might take a bit.

Surveillance Log-2999-2-2 


Foreword: SCP-2999-B left, and can now be seen pushing 


SCP-2999-A's laptop from the desk, onto the booth's swivel chair, 


and then pushing the chair into the room. This process takes five 


minutes and 9 seconds to complete, due to SCP-2999-B's lack of 
strength. SCP-2999-A can be heard screaming when dropped from 


the desk to the chair. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-2999-A: Oh shit... Let me catch my breath from 
that. [Pause] | could have died from that, you idiot! 


SCP-2999-B: Don't be a baby. It was safer than it 
looked. Give yourself a moment to catch yourself. 
Breathe, if you can. 


SCP-2999-A: God... Alright, I'm fine. Wha- why're we 
here? 


SCP-2999-B: | have some things in mind, but | dunno. 
Have you seen anybody? Preferably humans? 


SCP-2999-A: No, just those things. Why are we in 
Prometheus Labs? 


SCP-2999-B: | dunno. | don't think they're behind this 
though. | don't think it'd be smart to talk about this too 
much. They could have you bugged. 


SCP-2999-A: What? 


SCP-2999-B: They could be listening in on us through 
you... Your LAN's off, but lemme take a look. 


SCP-2999-A: Alright. Would this help? 


[SCP-2999-B reports that SCP-2999-A showed 
SCP-2999-B its contents] 


SCP-2999-B: Mayb- Whoa whoa whoa, what is this? 
SCP-2999-A: It's me. What is it? 


SCP-2999-B: This- This's definitely something... Lemme 
look a bit more. 


SCP-2999-A: Wait, what do you mean? 


SCP-2999-B: I'm... not entirely sure, but now | know 
you're not doing something remotely. The text your file's 
made of seems very similar to a few possession symbols 
I've seen, especially the twelve characters on the belly. 
Thing is though, those are supposed to be cognito- 
hazards... for people, of course, not laptops. 


SCP-2999-A: Wait, this's a cognitohazard? Are you sure 
| should be showing you this? 


SCP-2999-B: Naw, it's fine. It doesn't seem to be 
cognitive, but even if it was, their effects are pretty easy 
to avoid unless you're willing. Usually, if someone saw it 
and gave in to it, they'd be kicked out of their body, and 
replaced by something else. This one seems pretty 
advanced though. It's not something you'd be able to pull 
off on the spot. 


SCP-2999-A: So that'd mean that whoever did this'd 
have to be pretty well-versed in their occult knowledge, 
right? 


SCP-2999-B: Oh yeah. Dante level, at the very least. But 
that's not just it. That kind of thing takes time. Unless 
you're a god, it's a literal requirement that you need at 
least 50 years to let the symbol age. Hell, for most 
people, this right here would be their life's work... You 
died 38 years ago. 


SCP-2999-A: That's... So what are you saying? 


SCP-2999-B: I'm saying this has to have been planned 
ahead of time; either by something with an insane 
amount of foresight, or control over space time... Unless 
we're talking about the former. 


SCP-2999-A: What? That a reality bender's behind this? 


SCP-2999-B: Could. Not saying one is, but one could. 
I'm more worried about why they'd care so much about 
us though. 


SCP-2999-A: Hell if | know. | haven't even heard any 
demand from them since | first came to. You? 


SCP-2999-B: Nope. Actually, they seemed totally 
unprepared for me attempting to escape. It's like they 
had no idea that I'd react negatively to having my first 


waking moment being surrounded by robots twenty times 
larger than me. 


SCP-2999-A: Heh, yeah. [pauses] You know... It's been 
about forty years | think... Maybe we should catch up? 


SCP-2999-B: ...Yeah. I'd really like that.

SCP-2999-A: Don't know what to think. 

SCP-2999-B: J) Baby, | want out of here. 2 
SCP-2999-A: God, | could use a drink. 

SCP-2999-B: J There's no reason for us here. J) 
SCP-2999-A: | wish | knew how- 

SCP-2999-B: 5) Your eyes are creepin' me out right now. 
J) 

SCP-2999-A: To escape this hell. 

SCP-2999-B: /) Least your bow, an’ your hair look swell. 
J) 

SCP-2999-A: Maybe they'll talk tomorrow. 

SCP-2999-B: J) Or they'll just hand me more yarrow. J) 
SCP-2999-A: There isn't a single thing implied. 
SCP-2999-B: 0 Hey, least you're right by my side. 2 
SCP-2999-A: | wish we were away. 

SCP-2999-B: J) Baby, | want out! 2 

SCP-2999: Ah, but they're outside! 


SCP-2999-A: Heh. Just like forty years ago. 


SCP-2999-B: Yeah. It's a real shame you can't actually 
hear me though. 


SCP-2999-A: Huh? 


SCP-2999-B: You know... The subtitles? 
SCP-2999-A: [pauses] What? 


SCP-2999-B: The words appearing at the bottom of your 
vision... Presumably. Wait, are you saying you could 
actually hear me this whole time? 


SCP-2999-A: Well, | can hear you as long as | can see 
you. What's this about subtitles? 


SCP-2999-B: ...Alright, | know I'm not actually speaking 
right now, since | can't hear myself, so either | have 
some kind of mind-altering effect too, or you can hear me 
because you're you, and on that thing. 


SCP-2999-A: Well, | guess it'd explain how | can hear 
you without vocal cords. 


SCP-2999-B: Huh... Well, I'm sure the Foundation'll be 
able to find out if we ever get out of here. 


SCP-2999-A: Heh, yeah... Um.. Hayward? Mind if | ask 
you something? 


SCP-2999-B: No, what? 


SCP-2999-A: You really think that turning ourselves in to 
the Foundation would be the right thing to do? 


SCP-2999-B: ... Well, yeah. What kind of question is 
that? 


SCP-2999-A: | mean- you know that the first thing they'll 
do is separate us. Wouldn't you rather not be put in some 
cell? 


SCP-2999-B: Sarah, consider what we are. If we 
somehow managed to escape, | think they'll be able to 
catch an immobile laptop and a kitten. Besides, I'd rather 
have them find us than anyone else, they're better for us 
than any other group dead set on catching things like us. 


Plus, it's for the best. Don't want to let the public know 
just yet. 


SCP-2999-A: | don't know Stuart, it just sounds like a 
bad idea. 


SCP-2999-B: ... Sarah, there are people we know there; 
people that, once they find out who we are, would be 
able to pull enough strings to arrange for us to meet up 
every now and again. Hell, they might just put us in the 
same room. Why are you so vehemently against this? 
Would you rather have the GOC find us first? Is there 
something you know that | don't? 


SCP-2999-A: There's not, it's just... You know what, just 
forget | said anything. 


SCP-2999-B: Alright... Hey, how about we just go to 
sleep? | know I've said it every day so far, but maybe 
they'll do something tomorrow. 


SCP-2999-A: Sounds fine to me. 


<End Log> 


Surveillance Log-2999-2-4 


Foreword: Log takes place three hours and twelve minutes later. 
SCP-2999-B approached the security console, and reviewed the 
security footage. SCP-2999-B is stated to have viewed SCP-2999- 
A's arrival to Prometheus Labs, several tests involving SCP-2999- 
A's transfer to other drones, Prometheus Lab's closure through 
[REDACTED], the prevention of Foundation agents from accessing 
the floor, SCP-2999-A's creation of SCP-2999-B, and SCP-2999-A's 
transfer from aSCP- Prometheus drone to its laptop. It is noted 
that the 'Employee of the Month’ photo is now showing themes 
consistent with its current video alterations. 


SCP-2999-B: What... 


SCP-2999-A: | suppose you had to find out about this 
whole thing eventually. 


SCP-2999-B: |- What? 


SCP-2999-A: | mean, getting you in here was sort of 
asking for you to find out. The original plan was to have 
all of those feeds have a drone stare directly at them, but 
| didn't get around to it in time. Too busy on keeping your 
friends out. But it really would have had you scared. We 
would have been much, much closer. 


SCP-2999-B: Y- You're not Sarah, are you? 


SCP-2999-A: Afraid not; sorry. | like how you figured out 
a bit about me, but never figured out | could have just 
opened the door from the start. That always attracted 
me. It's adorable. 


SCP-2999-B: You're not Sarah. 


SCP-2999-A: No, but copying her memories made it 
easy to be her though; they were pretty much up for 
grabs after you killed he- Oh, I'm sorry, after S killed 
her. Really, she died because you left her there with him. 
Unless you actually fell for the old ‘look, over there’ trick, 
I'm thinking that was intentional. 


SCP-2999-B: That was NOT intentional! ... So you 
control everything out there? 


SCP-2999-A: | thought that was implied.
