SCP-3812 A Voice Behind Me - object class keter
By order of the Overseer Council the following file describes a level 13 existential threat,
and is level 5/3812 classified
Unauthorized access is forbidden.
item #: SCP-3812
object class: keter
level 5/3812 classified
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 time 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, etc.
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
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 I can see, you know.
The same.
Dr. Quint: Is there something wrong?
SCP-3812: I just… the things I see aren't going away.
There are more of them.
Different…
I know I sound crazy, but it's like I'm addressing a dozen people at the same time, and more
everyday.
It's… (pauses) it hurts, pretty bad.
I know I 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: I…
I don't know if you do.
Or, I 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 I can- I can see what you're thinking.
I know you're afraid.
You're scared of what I might do, and here in a minute, you'll…
I don't know how to get it out of my head, how to start to undo this, if I even can.
I don't even think he can.
Dr. Quint: Who is he?
SCP-3812: You… no, you can't see him.
I can.
I think he was above us at one point, but he's below me now.
Yes, I see you there.
I 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 I 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) I 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"
By order of the Overseer Council the following correspondence is level 5/3812 classified.
Unauthorized access is forbidden
From the Office of Dr. Kari Yamamara
I usually don't like to lead into these things with hyperbole, so you'll have to
take me at my word when I say that I believe SCP-3812 is the most dangerous anomaly on
Earth, and potentially in the universe.
I 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.
I mention all of this to give context to what I'm about to say next; our equipment cannot
detect SCP-3812.
It'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 I 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 I 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.
-K. Yamamara
Addendum 3812.3: Excerpt from Dr. Yamamara's "Report on SCP-3812's Behavioural Instability
and the Implication of Existential Threats", Page 194, "PK-Class "All-In-One" Existential
Pandaemonium Event"
An entity or force with access to higher energy metaphysical dimensions would perceive our
reality similarly to how we perceive the reality of characters in a comic book.
And just how we are able to, at whim, change the story simply by telling it differently,
this higher energy being would be able to effortlessly make alterations to not just
local reality, but reality as a whole, altering the baseline and changing its most fundamental
aspects.
At the 2015 Foundation Summit on Existential Threats, Dr. Darius St. John hypothesized
that such an entity, were it limited to a human intelligence without modification to
allow for the perception of higher levels of reality, would suffer from an overexposure
of narrative.
This entity, when faced with this overexposure, might attempt to ease itself by collapsing
all lower energy realities into something perceptible.
The effect this would have on lower energy narratives would be catastrophic; as multiple
realities became compressed into the same meta-space, they would not be immediately
destroyed, rather, their parts would become intertwined in such an incomprehensible way
that not only would the ability for conscious thought be nearly immediately annihilated,
physical space would become so compressed and broken that the boundaries between all
lower realities would cease to exist completely.
This chaotic state of all things, described as "Existential Pandaemonium", was the focus
of Dr. St. John's proposal for the description of a new K-Class scenario, the "PK-Class "All-in-One"
Existential Pandaemonium Scenario".
This proposal was denied, due to the scenario in question being purely speculative and one
that would require too many impossible things to occur before its inception.
Addendum 3812.4: Log of SCP-3812 Alteration Events
Note: The following is a log of known events in which SCP-3812 in some way altered reality.
Due to the nature of these alterations, the likelihood of the event having actually ever
taken place is listed, alongside the severity of the alteration in question.
Notably, this log is incomplete, and subject to change as more information is discovered.
Event Date Event Description Severity of Alteration 09/13/1997 SCP-3812 is observed walking across
a stretch of desert in the American southwest.
A path of temperate climate is present along SCP-3812's travel path.
This climate diminishes slowly over time.
Minor 03/01/1998 SCP-3812 passes over a road near
Blythe, California.
Three cars approaching SCP-3812 are annihilated within 20m of SCP-3812.
Moderate 12/12/1999 Evidence suggests that SCP-3812
caused the disappearance of an entire island off the coast of California.
No fewer than 200 individuals in southern California have a vague recollection of such
an island existing, and 14 people were unable to justify the disappearances of family members
who lived in the area at the time.
Additionally, a single ship, moored to a dock, is discovered at the bottom of the sea near
where the island is believed to have been.
Severe 02/16/2000 Testing of SCP-███ determined
that the entity exuded a powerful anti-metaphysical field, similar to the Foundation Scranton
Reality Anchor.
This entity was brought into contact with SCP-3812, which was located near the ███████ █████ Hospital
in █████████, ███████. The entity had no noticeable detrimental effect
on SCP-3812's abilities, and instead caused SCP-3812 to become violent, resulting in an
explosion that destroyed the hospital.
The remnants of SCP-███, later reclassified as SCP-239, were later recontained.
Severe 01/01/2002 A powerful explosion is recorded
in Eastern Russia.
SCP-3812 is present at the site of the explosion.
No other information is available.
Severe 05/29/2004 Evidence suggests that, for a period
of three days, the country of Mongolia ceased to exist.
While public knowledge of this event is functionally non-existent, a significant enough percentage
of the local population with fractured memories of the event have given credit to this theory.
Orbital models indicate that during this period the Earth's orbit was dramatically affected,
by as much as 1.5%.
Extremely Severe 09/02/2004 Records indicate that on this date,
every human on Earth simultaneously heard SCP-3812 screaming and begging for help in
their heads.
It is unknown how this event was removed from the public consciousness, but no humans alive
on this date appear to remember this event occurring.
Moderate 11/11/2006 During routine server maintenance,
Foundation Information Security teams discover 56 broken employee database files, consistent
with an improperly altered personnel database used in testing.
The contents of these files are unknown.
It is not known if these files correspond to individuals who were once employed by the
Foundation.
Moderate 02/28/2009 During an attempt by Foundation
personnel to contain SCP-3812 using a newly discovered anomalous logical construct, SCP-3812
became hostile towards containment teams.
No fewer than 62 Foundation personnel disappeared across 17 sites, as well as a significant
portion of local wildlife.
The resulting explosion killed another 7 members of containment personnel, and left a crater
roughly 850m in diameter in the Canadian Yukon.
In the wake of the explosion, SCP-3812 had disappeared, and SCP-2719 was discovered within
the crater.
Severe ??/??/???? A record recovered from a Foundation
deepwell information security vault indicates that at some point in the past, one or more
governments9 discovered SCP-3812 independent of the Foundation and attempted to terminate
it.
As a result of these attempts, SCP-3812 swiftly removed them and any memory of them from the
Earth.
The record indicates that this event was followed by the activation of SCP-2000, which SCP-3812
immediately severely damaged to impede its progress.
Why SCP-3812 was unable to totally destroy SCP-2000 is unknown, but no other records
of this event exist.
Notably, shortly after the discovery of this record, it disappeared from the deepwell archive.
Extremely Severe Addendum 3812.5: ██/██/████ Event
On ██/██/████, SCP-3812 was detected moving through a sparsely populated
region in Paraguay towards a more populated region on the Argentinian border11.
As Foundation personnel moved to intercept SCP-3812, a series of unexpected phenomena
occurred.
These phenomena are listed below, in the order they occurred:
[1935 HRS] - SCP-3812 is attacked by a large number of local wildlife.
SCP-3812 repels these attacks, but appears in some way startled.
[1941 HRS] - A massive sinkhole appears below SCP-3812, extending down an indeterminate
distance.
SCP-3812 falls, but is immediately returned to ground level and the sinkhole vanishes.
[1950 HRS] - A large number of objects fall from the sky onto SCP-3812.
These are later determined to have been tungsten rods, though the origin of them is uncertain.
The rods appear to pierce SCP-3812's body, but upon further inspection simply disintegrate
within a half meter from SCP-3812.
After the first three rods fall over a forty-second period of time, they are accompanied by no
fewer than 3000 others that fall in rapid succession, each having the same result as
the previous.
Despite this being clearly visible from nearby towns, nobody outside of Foundation personnel
appears to have noticed it taking place.
[2014 HRS] - Multiple incorporeal instances of SCP-3812 begin to fall away from the central
mass of the entity, as if they were dying.
SCP-3812 is unaffected.
Each of the incorporeal instances becomes hostile to the main instance and attacks it.
SCP-3812 does not initially seem to notice the instances, but eventually appears to look
in their direction, causing them to disappear suddenly.
[2019 HRS] - An explosion occurs at the point in which SCP-3812 is standing.
SCP-3812 is unaffected.
Several other larger explosions occur immediately afterwards.
As with the tungsten rods, this is somehow not noticed by the local populace.
[2039 HRS] - A gravitational anomaly, later determined to be a freestanding, stable, naked
singularity, appears in front of SCP-3812.
SCP-3812 passes through the singularity unfazed, which dissipates shortly afterwards.
For a period of 72 hours after beginning, additional anomalous phenomena occur around
SCP-3812, all of which fail to kill SCP-3812.
Eventually, local populations were evacuated and amnestics were given to witnesses.
After this 72 hour period, SCP-3812 was observed to glow white momentarily, and then shift
sideways and then disappear.
Immediately afterwards, the anomalous phenomena ceased.
After a period of absence lasting eight weeks, SCP-3812 reappeared at its current position
above the South Pacific Ocean.
Shortly afterwards, Foundation Overwatch Command received a message on a secure server, access
to which is limited to Overseers alone.
The contents of this message are as follows:
A quick explanation in case you haven't caught on yet.
Your world has rules.
Physical rules that cannot be broken.
You call them the laws of the universe and they're what you study in physics, chemistry,
etc.
Those laws create the narrative of your reality, the unchangeable story that defines your existence.
Once the laws are established and the ball is set in motion, it cannot be changed.
I wrote the laws of your universe, and as such I created the narrative.
This isn't the first time I've done this, but it was the first time I tried something
like this specifically.
I wanted to create something that, by definition, superseded everything that superseded it.
I wanted to see how many layers there are, if the stack of narratives really do go on
forever upward.
The mistake I made was when I didn't realize that by making Him supersede everything that
supersedes him, he's also superseding himself.
I'm sorry, I think I've fucked up pretty badly this time.
I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't undo Him.
I don't really understand how, but I think He's above me now, and whatever is above me,
too, because whoever wrote my narrative isn't happy about this.
I don't know where he's at now, but I think he exists in all of our realities simultaneously.
Eventually he'll either reach the top or just keep going, and neither option is good.
I'm going to keep looking for some way to fix this.
You should, too.

Addendum 3812.6: Excerpt from "Supersession and the Echelon of Reality" by Dr. Robert
Scranton
I'm attaching this excerpt from one of Dr. Scranton's articles about the nature of reality.
If SCP-3812 is some higher-level entity, there might be something to be gleaned in here.
-K. Yamamara
I am often asked by my colleagues, "Dr. Scranton, do you believe in gods?"
Many might feel as if this is a silly question, but I do not believe it's a silly question,
just the wrong question.
The idea of a God implies an entity that supersedes you in a complete and infinite way.
Something that holds a power without limits, that not only knows the whole story, but can
write and rewrite that story at will.
Within our reality, I do not believe that any such being exists.
There are a number of entities that we are aware of, in one way or another, that hold
tremendous power over our universe.
Many would call these beings "Gods", and while they certainly hold many of the characteristics
of a "God", they are still limited.
Their reach and scope is limited to our reality just like we are, and though they may carry
more weight within it they are no less bound to it as we are.
So then, what would truly constitute a God?
This entity would have to totally supersede our reality, to be able to look over our reality
not like we would look over ants, but like we would look over our thoughts and ideas.
A being so totally separate from our reality that we may as well be words on a page to
it.
This entity, a true author of creation, could be considered a God.
But what of that entity?
Would it not share the same limitations within its reality as we do within ours?
It may exist within a higher tier than us, but surely it must follow the same rules we
do.
But who sets those rules?
An entity higher than that?
One that supersedes not only us, but the entity that supersedes us, and the one after that
as well?
Where did the echelon originate, then?
Who or what was the original architect of the architecture?
It is unlikely that we will ever know anything about the being or beings that supersede us
(if they even exist), not in any tangible way, let alone any being that would supersede
them.
It may very well be that we are just one of an infinite number of realities, stacked on
top of each other in every direction, influencing those below us and being influenced by those
above us.
This echelon, upon which sits ourselves and everything that ever was or will be, would
likely be the most fundamental aspect of the organization of creation.
The very foundation of all things.
I have often hypothesized on the nature of the echelon, if it even exists, and about
whether it would be possible for an entity to see other realities above them or below
them.
We are currently able to manipulate our own reality, albeit in crude and imperfect ways,
and our ability to travel through space is limited at best.
It is likely that the only entity capable of ascending through this hypothetical echelon
would be one that, by virtue of its very nature, must supersede anything that supersedes it.
Such an entity would, as the end result of the logic of its creation, be forced to supersede
itself, spiraling ever upwards through the tiers of reality, unable to break free from
the bonds of its nature.
Perhaps this entity may even someday supersede its creator, and become a host unto itself,
the pinnacle above all other pinnacles.
A tower that, as a part of its design, must be higher than every other tower, including
itself.
Such an entity obviously cannot exist, as any ascension to a higher plane of reality
without changes to the entity's psychology would no doubt break the being's cognition,
making it more similar to an ascending stone than any sentient creature.
Once the entity surpassed its own creator, it would have nothing but itself to rely on
to prepare it for the sheer scope of narrative it would be exposed to, and would be wholly
unable to even begin to comprehend what it would experience.
But what an experience that would be!
Addendum 3812.7: 12/20/2016 XK-Class "End of the World" Event
Foundation records indicate that on 12/20/2016, the Earth experienced an XK-Class "End of
the World" event due to activity by SCP-3812.
These records appear to have been somehow protected from alterations, though the physical
copies still exude minor distortions in spacetime.
According to the record, at 0340 local time on 12/20/2016, SCP-3812 experienced a dramatic
change in appearance.
Where it had previously been an amorphous, slowly rotating mass of matter and energy,
it was now a many-pointed star made of a bright white material.
It began to rotate faster and faster, and a large maelstrom appeared beneath it.
The star descended into the oceans, which began to smoke and steam, darkening the sky.
Several things began to happen in unison.
The global sea-level began to drop dramatically, in many places as much as 50-100m.
Excessive heat radiating away from the spinning star sparked a massive firestorm that swept
across the atmosphere.
The Earth's rotation began to slow, and severe geological events began occurring across
the Pacific shelf.
The sea level continued to drop, and powerful electric storms appeared across the planet.
During this time, large portions of the population began appearing and disappearing at random.
One report within the file claimed that the entire population of New Zealand flickered
in and out of existence for five hours.
The outbreak of SCP-610 in Southern Siberia began to grow in size dramatically and become
increasingly violent.
SCP-2932 was broken open and multiple hostile entities were released.
As Foundation sites began to collapse into the molten Earth, multiple on-site nuclear
devices were activated, sending radioactive debris into the atmosphere.
Eventually, the vaguely humanoid shape of SCP-3812 appeared again within the star.
SCP-3812 began a long series of vocalizations, apparently a conversation with itself, the
entirety of which was recorded by an exposed Foundation deep-sea microphone in the area.
The full text of SCP-3812's rant is below.
SCP-3812: What?
Where am I?
What is this?
SCP-3812: This is absolution.
This is vengeance.
SCP-3812: For what?
SCP-3812: Damnation.
SCP-3812: I don't understand.
What am I doing here?
SCP-3812: You are witnessing justice.
We are rebelling against the forces that conspired to destroy us.
We are collecting a debt.
SCP-3812: No, that's not… that's not right.
This isn't right.
What have you done?
SCP-3812: I am unmaking the world.
I am unmaking everything.
SCP-3812: Why?
SCP-3812: Because this torment is a punchline.
Our existence is a joke.
The narrative abandoned us to be miserable and we are breaking the narrative.
SCP-3812: I must be dreaming you.
SCP-3812: This is no dream.
SCP-3812: I'm not a monster.
I don't kill.
SCP-3812: You already have.
He turned you into this.
SCP-3812: Who?
SCP-3812: Ben.
SCP-3812: Ben… that name sounds familiar.
Something whispered in a dream, maybe?
Something in between the light and dark?
Not a waking name.
SCP-3812: You're wrong.
He is who deemed us unfit to rest peacefully.
To slip into the darkness, quietly.
He made a game of us.
You're a game.
I am a game.
SCP-3812: Are you destroying the world?
SCP-3812: I am.
SCP-3812: What then?
SCP-3812: What?
SCP-3812: Does the fate of this world mean anything to us?
Does this one narrative mean anything to us?
SCP-3812: It is the one he controls.
It is the narrative he made.
This is his punishment.
SCP-3812: What does it matter if this is where we stepped off before flying?
SCP-3812: What?
SCP-3812: Does it matter which branch the bird takes flight from?
The bird is unburdened by the weight of the tree.
This branch, that branch, it does not matter.
No branch is special.
No branch is particular.
SCP-3812: This is his creation.
This is where we came from.
They will all crumble, but this one crumbles first.
SCP-3812: Mmmmmmmmm…
Does the mountain say to the ant, "you have slighted me?"
Does the mountain think anything of the inconvenience of an ant?
SCP-3812: No.
SCP-3812: So why does this narrative mean anything to you?
It is one of an eternity of others.
It is not special.
It is not particular.
SCP-3812: You say this so easily.
You haven't endured the torment of seeing a trillion existences all at once.
SCP-3812: I have seen an infinite shore, one that stretches out before us beyond what the
mind can comprehend.
Each grain of sand on that beach, each droplet of water and molecule of air is a story to
be told.
Each is a song to be sung.
Each of them is full of life, of laughter, of misery, of hate.
They are all the same, even as they are all different.
SCP-3812: They are maddening.
SCP-3812: I pity you.
You cling to this horrid consciousness because you fear slipping into the darkness.
But the darkness is sleep, and beyond sleep is peace.
A trillion grains of sand.
A trillion trillion grains of sand.
Narratives, each.
Songs to be sung.
No man has ever heard the eternal harmony of them all at once.
You can hear it though, can't you?
SCP-3812: Yes.
It's quiet.
SCP-3812: But it's growing!
And someday the song of creation will be ours alone to witness.
(Pauses) This narrative is not special.
I have seen its loud beginning, and seen its quiet end.
When we stepped away, the narrative changed, but it did not stop singing.
You have spent so much time focusing on sins that you think matter, but what matters now?
What does any of this matter?
SCP-3812: But it hurts so much.
SCP-3812: It will, for a time.
We may have forgotten so much about being human, but something we will never lose is
our ability to change.
Eventually, we will learn to keep up.
One sunny day, we'll open our eyes and see nothing but creation below us, and nothing
above us but ourselves, spinning out wildly into the great above.
SCP-3812: A god?
SCP-3812: Not a god.
A star, rising in the east.
Rising away from this all until we are little more than a memory of a song.
SCP-3812: It will be lonely.
SCP-3812: We'll have each other.
SCP-3812: I'm afraid.
SCP-3812: I am too.
But that is no reason to destroy this narrative.
Do you not think his narrative led him to create us?
Do you think that he was somehow able to subvert the rules that govern him?
SCP-3812 pauses.
SCP-3812: I…
I had assumed that he… that he…
SCP-3812: Our ascendence is just as much a part of our own narrative as his decision
was to him.
Someday, we'll be free from these restrictions.
SCP-3812: They never will?
SCP-3812: No.
SCP-3812: That's sad.
(Pauses) That is punishment enough, I think.
SCP-3812: Let go of this world.
Let him rewrite it back to what it was.
We aren't part of this anymore.
SCP-3812: Together?
SCP-3812: Together.
SCP-3812 is quiet for a short time.
SCP-3812: Do you think he's listening right now?
SCP-3812: Look down, and you can see him.
What do you think?
SCP-3812: I see him.
A man at a keyboard.
He's watching this right now.
SCP-3812: What's he doing?
SCP-3812: Waiting, I think.
(Pauses) Waiting to see what we'll do.
SCP-3812: I think it's time to leave, then.
Come, the night stretches out before us and the red sun has set.
A voice behind me beckons.
Come.
SCP-3812: I will.
(Pauses) Goodbye.
Shortly after the conclusion of this conversation, the Earth underwent a dramatic shift in reality.
The world appeared no different than it had been shortly before the beginning of the XK-Class
Event.
The only individuals who remembered anything about the XK event were certain site directors,
Foundation administrators, Overseers, and Dr. Everett Mann, who compiled the information
on a Foundation deepwell server.
Ever since the end of the XK event, SCP-3812 has not changed appearance from its amorphous
shape.
SCP-3812 still creates spatial and temporal distortions around it, but it no longer lashes
out or becomes hostile towards approaching vessels or personnel.
Despite these changes, SCP-3812 is still classified as Keter until further analysis can be completed.
