MSCP-009

Danger Class:Esoteric

Site Responsible:Site-MC-06

`Physical Description: An extra-dimensional plane, similar to Phenomena 004. Many biomes adorn its surface. Its surface has been estimated to be 60 million blocks in total. A majority of its surface is covered in ocean biomes.`

`Further Information: Phenomena 009 is capable of supporting various amounts of life. The current dominant species are Humans and Villagers.`

`Discovery: Phenomena 009 has existed since before modern history began. It was only recently discovered to be anomalous after further study of Phenomena 004.`

NOTE

So, you've read the file.

You probably stumbled upon this file as a young, inexperienced, Junior Researcher, did you not? I don’t blame you. I would be just as curious to read about anomalies we discovered early in our organization’s history. There’s no harm in being curious. That’s probably why we chose you, after all. You’re likely new and wanted to read some of our early anomalies in chronological order, yes?

I don't blame you, it must be surprising to look at the history of our early anomalies and find that, indeed, MSCP-009 is the Overworld.

When I first started the MSCP Foundation, we were just a group of people with a dream. We were in way over our heads, but somehow, the stars aligned and everything worked out.

Every other anomaly we discovered during the early years has been updated, as they still caused us issues.

Not MSCP-009.

It was a controversial decision to classify MSCP-009 even in those early days. I thought a few members of the O12 Council were even going to leave over it. No one wanted to accept the truth, that our world was just like the Nether or the End. However, after the Minecraft Backstage was classified as MSCP-004, there was little argument left not to classify the other dimensions.

Although the Nether was caught in bureaucratic red tape at the time and was classified as an MSCP at a much later date, there was nothing that specifically stopped MSCP-009 from being classified, so it was.

No one wanted to write the document. No one wanted to be the one who said "Our world is an MSCP."

So I did it. I wrote something short, uninteresting, and obvious, just so we could all move on. Then, with my amateur photographer skills, I took a random picture I liked and attached it. We argued over what object class it should be, and so we gave it a new one: Netzach. It means that the item is believed to be required for the existence of the game. Sure, we could probably move to the Nether. Maybe not the backstage, but this is the best we got.

You know, to reward your curiosity, I’m going to give you some advice.

If you go to the guards at the front door of the Site and ask them for an “early retirement,” they’ll take you to a special room we keep in every facility for amnesticizing personnel. You’ll be given some of the most powerful amnestics we have and dropped off at your listed home address with three weeks’ pay worth of diamonds before you even feel lucid again.

There are many more secrets we hold, ones far more horrifying than the fact the world we live in shouldn’t even exist. If learning about MSCP-009 has made you desire amnesticization, I don’t blame you. There is no shame in taking that early retirement. I think I would take it myself given the opportunity in your shoes. However, someone needs to run this place.

I come back to this old document for nostalgic purposes every so often. It’s our only one left that we still haven’t updated. We figured that there was no point. It’s not dangerous and it doesn’t really require any changes, so why bother?

Maybe someone would have been happy to do it were it another anomaly, but like the first time, I don’t think anyone wanted to be the old to declare the Overworld anomalous, even if it’s just updating a document.

If you’re still reading this, you’re probably looking for an explanation, yes? An answer as to why our world is anomalous?

I’m afraid that’s a bit above your clearance level.

However, I will tell you that the fact our world exists at all is anomalous. Every experiment we ran, every attempt we made to rebuke it, everything we tried all led back to that conclusion. This world along with its sister dimensions were never meant to exist. They are located in pockets of distorted reality, floating in an infinite void of nothingness, perhaps existing only as defiance to the unending emptiness.

I don’t often leave notes in the database, nor do the Council that works directly under me, so consider this the last time you’ll probably see me. Well, unless you come back and read this again, I suppose.

So, I leave you with one final statement before I take my leave from writing this.

Our world isn’t meant to exist, but that doesn’t mean what we do on it doesn't matter.
