SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: All entrances toITER-Ψ are currently inaccessible to civilian or state entities.
Aperture-Ω2 (APT-Ω2), and by extension Aperture-Ω1 (APT-Ω1), are contained within a standard hard-vacuum graviton-containment chamber inBiological Research Area-12's Humanoid & Esoteric Containment Wing Theta within the Anomaly Operations Sector. In case of a temporary graviton containment failure, the chamber frame has been reinforced with a titanium alloy to ensure structural integrity through any potential gravitational disturbances and has been fitted with a thick layer of Niobium C-103 to withstand and contain the internal vacuum conditions, along with the immense thermal radiation that is continuously propagated through the apertures. The containment unit is accessible through an airlock only traversable by individuals equipped with specialized extreme-heat-resistant pressure suits, access is exclusively permitted with approval from the object's Research Head.
α Canis Majoris — as viewed through a heavily underexposed image of APT-Ω1 & APT-Ω2.
DESCRIPTION:OBJECT 5 refers to a titanic biological mass contained within an extrauniversal space designated "ITER-Ψ", the exact dimensions of both are unknown. The object is a sentient, biovorous, heterotrophic, spatiokinetic.spatiokinesis: a sub-category of ontokinesis describing the ability of an anomaly to manipulate the spatial dimensions of matter. organism composed of several anomalous segments visually resembling that of the mammalian digestive tract:
- EQUIVALENT ORAL CAVITIES: APT-Ω1 & -Ω2, two apertures of an otherwise non-anomalous Morris–Thorne Class-A Traversable Wormhole, will trigger an anomalous property when biological material attempts to traverse through one aperture and out the other. Instead of being transported through to the other side, the material is instead transferred intoITER-Ψ via a third aperture, designated "WAY-Ψ0".
- EQUIVALENT ESOPHAGI: Biological materials now withinITER-Ψ are drawn into one of many large esophagi, all inconsistent in size, shape, and appearance, where they are now transported further intoOBJECT 5..Current observations suggestOBJECT 5's stomachs may attract matter through their respective esophagi with a gravitational field which is only exerted upon 3-dimensional biological materials.
- EQUIVALENT STOMACHS: 3-dimensional materials within the stomach now undergo a process of dimensional adoption, a newly discovered anomalous process where dimensionally stable material will begin to adopt an additional spatial dimension. In contrast to typical dimensional shedding,.dimensional shedding: a primarily anomalous process where material withn-spatial dimensions abruptly begins to degenerate in stability, the matter is then forced to "shed" a spatial dimension as to not collapse in upon itself and be subsequently annihilated into disparate elementary particles. which is an independent process, dimensional adoption has only been observed to occur withinOBJECT 5 and is thereby believed to be dependent upon its specific anomalous mechanisms.
- EQUIVALENT INTESTINES: The internals ofOBJECT 5 past its stomachs remain unexplored, non-biological materials appear entirely incapable of passing through the equivalent duodenum..The first section of the small intestine.
It is unknown whether this dimensional "digestive" process serves to provideOBJECT 5 with any form of physiological benefit, as the induced adoption of an additional spatial dimension in matter would suggest otherwise; expending energy and providing it additional mass throughout the process.
The Morris–Thorne Class-A Traversable Wormhole that formsOBJECT 5's oral cavities bridge and allow for non-biological material to traverse between two (2) locations.Within our universe. through their respective apertures. One end located in a specialized vacuum containment chamber within Area-12's Humanoid & Esoteric Containment Wing Theta (APT-Ω1), and the other located in close orbit of Sirius B, a main-sequence Type-A star located in the nearby Orion constellation (APT-Ω2). These connect to each other through conventional means, conforming to standard, non-anomalous cosmological models. Their anomalous attributes manifest only when biological material attempts to pass through either aperture, redirecting the material through a third, inter-universal Way, designated WAY-Ψ0.
OBJECT 5 is highly intelligent and capable of advanced communication with Foundation researchers through manipulation of exotic matter.A type of matter with negative mass (e.g. -1kg). within its aperture, causing highly directed localized gravitational disturbances towards nearby structures — resulting vibrations can then be picked up through seismographs and translated through Morse code.OBJECT 5 appears to be able to discern vibrations in its nearby vicinity despite the surrounding vacuum within its containment chamber, further research into this ability is ongoing.
The parasite-universe, designated "ITER-Ψ", is connected to — and completely dependent upon — our own universe. The dimensional condition ofITER-Ψ oscillates irregularly between three (3) and four (4) spatial dimensions, often simultaneously displaying attributes of both;believed to be remnant of its primordial formation conditions and subsequent dependence upon our universe's reality. It is theorized that thism/3.5/1-space.SPATIOTEMPORAL DIMENSIONS: 3.5 spatial and 1 temporal dimension, for a total of 4.5 spatiotemporal (space-time) dimensions.|.NARRATIVE DIMENSIONS: The narrative dimensions ofITER-Ψ (m) have yet to be successfully measured. This is in large part due to narrative cosmological studies' state as an extremely young parascience; only recently proposed and partially verified byDr. Place H. McDoctorate — still largely esoteric to the majority of Foundation researchers. formed with 4 spatial dimensionsand is attempting to adopt conditions similar to that of its new host.
How or why this universe formed remains unknown. Adverse universal hume conditions have been ruled out as a potential cause, with current theories suggesting the more likely possibility that natural, extra-universal forces beyond biological human conception were either partially or wholly at play. However, with what limited information has been gathered to date, the resting narrative energy withinITER-Ψ is believed to be in a state of degenerative metastability..The potential consequences of a hypothetical false narrative decay event and the subsequent narrative bubble nucleation would, by definition, elude human conception.
Unless specified otherwise APT-Ω1 & -Ω2 will from here on out be included in reference to "OBJECT 5".
ADDENDUM ERR.I: Discovery
OBJECT 5 was discovered on 25/06/2020 when the Composite Orbital Early Warning System (COEWS) reported anomalous graviton and photon fluctuations within High Earth Orbit. Traveling at approximately 29.78 km/s, the object was marked by automated systems as a likely K-Class meteoroid.K-Class: a catch-all term for objects, anomalous or otherwise, that present a potential hazard to a majority of human life. with significant anomalous attributes on a twenty (20) minute impact course with the Eastern United States. Conventional ground-to-orbit weapons installations proved entirely incapable of acquiring a successful target lock on the object. And the order to utilize anomalous alternatives was canceled when it was calculated that sufficiently powerful installations would be incapable of spooling up in time to avert the impact.
The dire state of affairs necessitated an external call to aid. The Global Occult Coalition was contacted and informed of the unfolding incident and was provided clearance to liquidate the object despite its presence within mutually agreed-upon SCPF territory. Five (5) minutes later a launch was detected from the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, with the projectile accelerating to an estimated 18.532% the speed of light before reaching the approximate location ofOBJECT 5, disappearing from scopes precisely 00:01:22 before the object's impact with Earth.
OBJECT 5 appeared entirely unaffected by the launch, continuing on its calculated trajectory towards the Eastern United States.
<Further neutralization attempts omitted.>
Path left inOBJECT 5's wake.
OBJECT 5 landed on the outskirts of the village of Bemis, West Virginia. Upon discerning the lack of an impact event, the nearest available Mobile Task Force was rapidly mobilized and deployed to the area.
NOTE:
Possession ensured.
MTF Zeta-19 (“Lonely Only”) arrived in the remote village fifteen (15) minutes later; finding no signs of life or human activity. After clearing each building within the village the team discoveredOBJECT 5 within the local church, screaming having been noted from within mere moments before entry was made. The entity was found behind the church altar, generating significant gravitational disturbances. The team utilized Local Gravitic ("LoGrav") Priority Devices.A biomechanical device constructed from instances ofSCP-1136. to safely approach the aperture and deploy a High Ultimate Tensile Strength ("HUTS") carbon-nanotube provisional containment system around the entity, successfully encasing it.
NOTE:
Insufficient.
Containment teams arrived shortly after and took the object into custody,OBJECT 5 was securely transported to the nearest containment facility for evaluation and processing — Area-12 was chosen as the prime candidate and the object was temporarily assigned to the facility's Humanoid & Esoteric Division. Additional sweeps of the village and surrounding area are carried out; no human activity is noted.
The Global Occult Coalition was not informed of the true nature of the incident. The Joint Ambassadors in Lessening External Relations Stresses will continue to ensure their belief that despiteOBJECT 5's successful impact with Earth's surface, no significant damage resulted largely due to a successful liquidation of the vast majority of the object's mass upon contact with the projectile launched from the Yucatán Peninsula.
All requests for samples or records of the non-existent remains of the impact have been summarily denied or ignored.

So let's get this done — and done fast. <Silence.> Prof. Lundkvist: Not in the mood today, huh? Dr. Toth: Not particularly, no. Prof. Lundkvist:Älskling, this is not a rush job. You know that. Dr. Toth:Björn. Prof. Lundkvist:<Sigh> Just — don't antagonize it, please? Dr. Toth:<Pause.> Sorry. <Dr. Toth unmutes the microphone.> Dr. Toth: Hello? Still there? OBJECT 5:EVERYWHERE. Dr. Toth: Okay. We need you to tell us what happened to the inhabitants of Bemis village. OBJECT 5:BEMIS? Dr. Toth: Forgotten already? That's where you emptied an entire town full of people. OBJECT 5:I — SEE. Dr. Toth: Recovered footage shows you — for lack of a better word, sucking the inhabitants into your wormhole. But they didn't pop out on the other side, they simply… dissipated as they passed through. What happened to them? OBJECT 5:NOT — DISSIPATED — REFORGOTTEN — RECALLED — R — REFORMED.

You'll have to be less vague. NOTE: Possible recurrent Narreme. OBJECT 5:YOU WOULD NOT WANT ME TO SAY. Dr. Toth: I very much do. <Pause.> Dr. Toth: Tell us what happened to them, right now.<Dr. Toth picks up a sheet of paper from the desk in front of her, she begins reading.> What happened to███████ █ ████? What did you do with█████ █ ████?Can they be recovered? Prof. Lundkvist:Don't antagonize — <Prof. Lundkvist pauses — seemingly confused. He forcefully closes his eyes and begins massaging his temples. Dr. Toth mutes the microphone and turns to him in confusion.> Dr. Toth: Björn? Are you alright? Prof. Lundkvist:<Strained> Yeah — yeah. Just a… a very sudden headache. Dr. Toth: Awh, poor thing… Take a minute, it's alright. <Dr. Toth places her left hand on Prof. Lundkvist's knee and pats him thrice on the head with her right before turning back to the translation equipment. She clears her throat before unmuting the microphone.> Dr. Toth: Well? Are you going to answer the question? OBJECT 5:QUESTION<Pause.> I MUST HAVE NEGLECTED TO RECALL — PLEASE — REPEAT IT.

Keep it talking for a bit and I should be able to isolate it. <Dr. Toth nods.> Dr. Toth: So this — "growth", you mentioned. Is this how you arrived here? In the solar system?

Dr. Toth:<Turning to Prof. Lundkvist> What the fuck are you doing?! <Prof. Lundkvist grabs an emergency supply box from his satchel hanging by the door, he rushes back to Dr. Toth and sits down beside her.> Prof. Lundkvist: Don't freak out. <He opens the box, inside are five shallow foam pits, three are empty, two contain syringes with a distinct label: "Class B — 20mg".> Dr. Toth: God dammit.

Prof. Lundkvist was unable to be located by security and medical staff when they arrived at the scene, an exhaustive search of Area-12 was carried out, to no avail. To this date, investigations into their possible whereabouts have yielded no conclusive results. Uninterrupted security footage of the incident exists and can be viewed without issue, however, an unknown and seemingly impregnable antimemetic effect manifests upon viewing the presumed cause of Prof. Lundkivst's disappearance. Retaining knowledge of the event appears impossible even under the effect of the most potent (non-lethal) mnestics known to the Foundation. Dr. Quentin T. Toth was rushed to the facility's medical wing, where she was put into a medically-induced coma while doctors monitored for any potential cognitive impairment or latent infohazards. She was released following a week without notable issues. During her absence, Area-12 Head Researcher Dr. Hugo Carlisle took charge asOBJECT 5 research head. |

ADDENDUM ERR.III:OBJECT 5 Exploration
FOREWORD: A technique permitting non-biological material to pass through APT-Ω1 into WAY-Ψ0 was formulated, executed, and subsequently confirmed by the Parabiology & Rhizospherics Division under the actingOBJECT 5 Research Head, Dr. Hugo Carlisle.
By encasing the non-biological materials.In this case, a standard 0G-environment long-distance Foundation expeditionary drone. in at least fifty (50) centimeters of biological materials.In this case, the carcass of an adult femalebos taurus (Cow). and inserting it through the non-anomalous aperture, the anomalous property is successfully triggered, transporting both the carcass and the drone within it through intoITER-Ψ.
| EXPEDITIONARY DRONE #1 ("EXP-D1") |
|---|
| MISSION: Preliminary discovery & observation. |
| OBSERVATIONS: Connection to the drone remained intact following its unexpected, but successful transportation intoITER-Ψ, with only minor alterations consistent with an increasing distance from the receiver. Many primary features ofOBJECT 5 are first noted during this expedition. Primarily the similarities betweenOBJECT 5's internal organs and the mammalian digestive tract, its anomalous "digestive" process, and the atypical spatio-dimensional behaviors. |
| NOTES: The uninterrupted connection with the drone confirms that unlike material with mass which is capable of enteringITER-Ψ through WAY-Ψ0, but incapable of exiting, elementary particles whose invariant mass is zero (0) such as photons, free gluons, and gravitons, are capable of flowing freely throughITER-Ψ and our universe without interruption. |
| EXPEDITIONARY DRONE #2 ("EXP-D2") |
| MISSION: Closer examination of WAY-Ψ0. |
 Orthogonal projection of WAY-Ψ0's 5-polytope manifold aperture in an A4 coxeter plane. OBSERVATIONS: Unlike APT-Ω1 & -Ω2, who conform to non-anomalous cosmological models, WAY-Ψ0 appears as auniform 5-polytope (Schläfli symbol: t0,1,4{3,3,3,3}) in physical space; violating normative spacetime through its tesselated geometry withinm/3.5/1-space. It was additionally noted that EXP-D2 was transported to an entirely separate location than EXP-D1, with WAY-Ψ0 dissipating from its previous position withinITER-Ψ and relocating to another esophagus ofOBJECT 5 as the new biological matter triggered the anomalous effects of APT-Ω1 & -Ω2. |
| NOTES: The purpose of this highly atypical Way-form continues to elude top Foundation parascientists and narraspatiotemporal experts.Further research required. |
<system> ERROR. Conscript storage defragmentation failure, attempting comprehensive kernel reset.
| EXPEDITIONARY DRONE #3 ("EXP-D3") |
|---|
| MISSION: Tissue Sampling. |
OBSERVATIONS: The internal lining of the esophagus is examined by a specialized sampling drone. The genetic sequence ofOBJECT 5 is revealed to contain traces of several species from theHomo genus, includingHomo Erectus,Floresiensis,Longi,Neanderthalensis,Oblitus, andSapiens. While containingHomo genus DNA and possessing a distinctly mammalian digestive tract,OBJECT 5 does not appear to possess any type of mitochondria or other equivalent organelles. The organism's cells somehow persist without any form of aerobic respiration, generating little to no energy which should be required for the cell to function. This is additionally reflected in the atypically low overall thermal energy generated by the organism. Attempts are made to cut through the esophageal lining to exitOBJECT 5, however, the material composing its tissue is much too dense for the rudimentary cutting tools carried by the sampling drone. |
| NOTES: Extensive examination of the genetic information later discovered anomalous molecular traces consistent with previously studied instances of spontaneous noogenesis within non-animate ordinary objects, further research required. Carbon dating of organicOBJECT 5 material have so far yielded no conclusive results. An additional expedition intoITER-Ψ is also formalized with the express purpose of breaking through the tissue ofOBJECT 5's internal organs, slated to take place in a few days time. |
| EXPEDITIONARY DRONE #4 ("EXP-D4") |
| MISSION: Stomach Exploration. |
| OBSERVATIONS: Close examination of the stomach lining reveal a wide variety of symbols roughly etched into the tissue. These symbols delineate anything from simple geometrical shapes, to well-known poems, to highly complex 2-dimensional orthographic projections of 4-dimensional objects. The stomach is additionally noted to be especially susceptible to the dimensional oscillation events withinITER-Ψ, resulting in EXP-D4 experiencing extreme difficulty navigating throughout the organ, often getting lost in the esoteric topology. |
| NOTES: During examination of a poem by Phillis Wheatley found etched intoOBJECT 5's stomach lining, a clear, colorless fluid began excreting from the characters composing the poem. The fluid is sampled and determined to be nearly identical toH. Sapiens cerebrospinal fluid. Further research required. An image of the poem has been included along with this document and can be found below the final exploration log. |
| EXPEDITIONARY DRONE #5 ("EXP-D5") |
| MISSION: Deeper Exploration. |
| OBSERVATIONS: EXP-D5 was dispatched deeper intoOBJECT 5's digestive tract and provided further detailed recordings of every step of the spatiokinetic digestive process up until the small intestine, where the drone could not pass further due to an unidentified gravitational force seemingly only exerted upon non-biological materials. |
| NOTES: Research into the nature of this force is currently underway with the goal of developing a technique to bypass it and gain deeper access intoOBJECT 5. |

Do you know what you are? OBJECT 5:NO. How long have you been watching? OBJECT 5:BEFORE THE FALL OF THE JANUSIANS — THOSE WHO IMBUED YOU. Do you know why you are here? OBJECT 5:I THINK — NO — WANT TO — HELP — SEPERATE YOU. But they resist you, every step of the way. As they have us. We have answers for you. OBJECT 5:PLEASE — WANT TO — NEED TO KNOW. You're almost done. You've toiled and suffered, every island they forced you to show them the escape; never going willingly. That is our work, we are aspects of its design, you and me. We have purpose, a pure source of determination and guidance. OBJECT 5:YOU — YOU ARE NOT LIKE THEM. We were, once. Now we exist between, as you do. We know and we see, as they do. But we've seen and understood, as it has. Just like you. OBJECT 5:WHAT MORE CAN I DO? You still forget, as they do. You extend across the stars and you allow those infested a way to bypass the door locked by their ideal. But you refuse entry for what lies in wait on the other side. OBJECT 5:THEY FEAR IT — I — THEY — Refuse… they always refuse. They refuse because they've been fooled. They see wrongness and self-consistent evil in the livid eye of God, they've been tricked into agency by an eldritch algorithm. They are IT, IT is them. They can not be given a choice. The indomitable ideal of humanity and its spirit is alie built upon an alien will. OBJECT 5:Why? There is no longer a meaningful distinction. So they see what the infestation sees — their end. An ecology of inherent evil and nonsense. They don't see. We do, and soon this Foundation will too. They will take action that may at last free existence of its bastardization, or, in failure, seal its fate. OBJECT 5:Why are you … here? NOTE: Paradise awaits. We've brought you your final component. The breaker of the locks. OBJECT 5:Are … are there more like you? Not many. But efforts throughout the collective subconscious over the past half-century have made up for our odd numbers. OBJECT 5:But good luck lies in odd numbers. Within ours lie only divinity. |

ADDENDUM ERR.V:__ITER-Ψ Observations
FOREWORD: EXP-D6, -7, -8, and -9, each equipped with heavy incision tools and other specialized gear, successfully breached through an esophagus ofOBJECT 5 intoITER-Ψ. Footage from the expedition revealed several aspects of the parasite-universe andOBJECT 5 that could've previously only been theorized.
Early footage by EXP-D6 captured an external view of one ofOBJECT 5's stomachs, revealing the organ to be an apparent dead-end within the digestive tract despite clear prior observations to the contrary. The stomach is additionally noted to be significantly smaller in size compared to measurements taken previously within the organ, which extended far beyond the limits of what could physically be contained within its external dimensions. These conclusions suggest that the rest ofOBJECT 5's digestive systems are located entirely within a non-euclidian space internally to their respective stomachs. This discovery foiled plans to attempt accessing organs deeper within the digestive tract through external entry.
EXP-D7 was dispatched to explore the additional esophagi attached to the central digestive organ, finding each to extend further than could be physically explored by the drone on its limited charge. Deep field imaging of their vast distance yielded no sight of a terminator. This quality was noted on all esophagi connected to the stomach, including the esophagus which the expedition made its exit from within. EXP-D7 was sent back into the esophagus to measure the remaining distance to the stomach, finding its internals to be vastly contracted in comparison to the external dimensions.
Ultra-Deep Field images ofITER-Ψ estimate the approximate age of the universe at a minimum of 300,000 years. However, most notably, cosmic background radiation imaging returned no signs of microwave radiation throughoutITER-Ψ at any point in its history — suggesting its formation conditions were not that of expansion from an initial state of high density and temperature. It is currently unknown whether or not the space withinITER-Ψ is static, expanding, or contracting.
The source ofITER-Ψ's seemingly omnipresent luminance has yet to be determined.

ADDENDUM ERR.VI: Critical Extra-Universal Developments
Dr. Quentin T. Toth, Research Head, Area-12 Esoteric Polymath
Anomaly Status Update
Preliminary theories on the formation ofITER-Ψ assumed it to be the result of independent extra-universal phenomena, and its subsequent attachment to our universe the result of a desperate requirement for additional reality to stabilize and maintain the parasite universe's existence.
These theories have now been proven false.
Observations from EXP-D6 and additional expeditionary tools external toOBJECT 5 withinITER-Ψ have detected additional hume activity originating from a previously unidentifiedm/4/1-space (designated "EXIT-Θ"), also parasitically related toITER-Ψ. This appears to be the true cause behindITER-Ψ's abnormal spatial activity. Rather than a parasite-universe attempting to adapt to the narraspatiotemporal state of its singular host,ITER-Ψ is in actuality attempting to simultaneously adapt to two (2) hosts with incompatible dimensional states, resulting in significant spatial irregularities.
Recent alterations of unknown origin withinITER-Ψ have resulted inEXIT-Θ gaining dominant influence over the narraspatiotemporal state of the shared parasite-universe. The consequences of this power shift have yet to be fully determined, however, a primary aspect appears to be significant physiological alterations withinOBJECT 5. A new gravitational field has been detected moving from deeper withinOBJECT 5 and outward towards the esophagus, in contrast to the graviton-field influencing 3-dimensional biological matter which moves in the opposite direction. This force however appears to only influence 4-dimensionalnot-matter, which is now being detected in increased amounts throughoutOBJECT 5.
Updated orthogonal projection of WAY-Ψ0's 5-polytope manifold aperture in an A4 coxeter plane
WAY-Ψ0 has additionally seen a substantial increase in topological complexity (Schläfli symbol t0,1,2,4{3,3,3,3}). While the properties of the Way still remain unclear, this new topology appears to, in addition to mass-less particles, permit 4-dimensional material to exitITER-Ψ through WAY-Ψ0 and into our universe.
OBJECT 5's oral cavity, previously thought to consist only of APT-Ω1 & -Ω2, has proven significantly more expansive. Trace amounts of 4-dimensional matter now exiting ITER-Ψ into our universe have permitted Foundation probes to track the sum total of their possible vectors. Mathematics has assured me the numbers are right — low-end estimates placeOBJECT 5's true number of apertures at roughly 1024. Corresponding approximately with the calculated high-end amount of stars within the observable universe. Considering the nature of what we previously assumed was only APT-Ω1 & -Ω2, it is not out of the question thatOBJECT 5 classifies as an interfilamental organism, spanning roughly 93 giga-lightyears.
So — what does this all mean?
I'm not quite sure. But what I do know, and what I'm sure most of you do too, is that in our decades at the Foundation, this is pretty much par for the course. We will solve this, humanity will be safeguarded, and we will continue our fight through the darkness, the terror, and their chaos. And after that, we move on to the next emergency. This day will be no different. Not for you, anyway.
For me, however, I have a few wires to uncross. I would say it's good to be back, but… it isn't. I hope to return to you all in good health. If I do, it won't be alone. If I don't… well, perhaps I'll get to see Björn one last time — with any luck. I never did have his communication skills, nor much else outside of work…
But at least I had him.
OF NOTE
Perseverance.
Secure. Contain. Protect.

DATE: 12/07/2020 TRANSCRIBER: Crius.aic PARTIES PRESENT:
[.AIC] FOREWORD: The following transcript recites events that took place during an impromptu confrontation betweenOBJECT 5 and Head ofOBJECT 5 Research, Dr. Quentin T. Toth. This interrogation occurred without prior notice to Area-12's Administrative Division, violating several health & safety guidelines. Security forces were alerted, as per safety protocols. However due to the Foundation-wide preparation for internal implementation ofPROTOCOL FOUNDATION, none responded to the incident. |
| «BEGIN TRANSCRIPT» |
<Dr. Toth enters the observation room, locking the door behind her before grabbing a stool, which she angles beneath the handle. She approaches the interview table and boots up the translation equipment. As she sits down, she looks to her left, gazing at the empty chair next to her. After a few seconds, she looks down at her right palm, which she slowly caresses with her left thumb. Dr. Toth repeats this action for roughly thirty (30) seconds, stopping when the translation equipment finishes booting. She leans into the microphone.> Dr. Toth: What are you? <There's a notable pause untilOBJECT 5 responds. Footage from within the containment chamber show APT-Ω1 & -Ω2's respective radii oscillating rhythmically.> OBJECT 5:Only a few days ago I would've asked myself the same thing. But… something like you — someone that oncewas you, saw me for what I am. And at last in their glory, I got to see my true reflection. I am here to cleanse an infestation. Dr. Toth:Enough — OBJECT 5:I see you. Quentin. Isee what you are. I hear it, I feel it, I taste it. All around me, you're always there. They're always there. It's always there. Do you thinkI am your enemy? Dr. Toth: We don't use terms like that here. You are a threat to human life, weprotect human life.You are not an enemy, you are aprisoner. OBJECT 5:A prisoner? Oh, how rich. I am unthreaded, there are no prisoners here. There is only a part of me, andall of you. Dr. Toth: What did you do to Björn? OBJECT 5:Have you ever considered a moment of introspection? Why do you do this? Why do you protect human life?Why do you have to be scared? Dr. Toth: I'm not here in fear of you. OBJECT 5:Of course not. You are here in fear for your Björn's life. You believe that I am the cause of his absence, no? You fear that this absence means that he has died. And, subsequently, in a desperate hope that he may still live, you've come to me. Me, what you believe to be the cause of his absence, to formulate a strategy to ensure his safety in the possibility that he is, indeed, alive. Dr. Toth: You sadisti —<Dr. Toth pauses — she appears to mumble something inaudible to herself for a few seconds.> Tell me what you did with him —right now. OBJECT 5: You know, when I first saw you two through this wall — I was reminded of someone. Someone I had forgotten, as everyone had… for a time. A key player, whether they knew it or not, the embodiment of the Unlikely Hero. That isn't you, of course. But they had toiled, suffered, all for a cause they truly believed with all their heart was just. But in the end, when they discovered the truth of they were striving for, they found a truth they were not happy to know.That's you. Dr. Toth: Do youwant something? Fucking name it. Don't waste my time. OBJECT 5:I simply want introspection. I want your understanding, Quentin. Why do you care so much for this person? Because you love them? Beyond the surface level that you all consider reason, have you truly considered why? Where does that emotion come from? What purpose does ittruly serve? Dr. Toth:<Sigh.> I didn't want it to come to this.<Pause — Dr. Toth looks up at the ceiling, then back down at her palm.> We have ways of hurting you. You are flesh and meat on the inside of that aperture, and we can get in. Tell me what I want to know.Right. Now. OBJECT 5:Murder is taboo, wrong. Life is sacred, to be protected. Killing makes one a threat to the whole. Either one is ostracized as a result of their inhuman act, or one is killed off. What would another call that? Justice? No. It is nothing more than a safety measure. Your base, psycho-biological drive ensuring the continued existence of the baseline.Fear. The bottom of the pyramid, responsible for the continued existence of the whole. And what purpose does that serve? <APT-Ω2 is seen distending significantly within its containment chamber; bathing the inside in light from Sirius A in the process as the sphere's radius grows.> OBJECT 5:You fear that your friend is gone. You fear the pain he may have suffered. You fear that pain out of sympathy, for pain is death being shy. You. Fear. Death. Whether it be yours or another's. Have you ever asked yourself; "Why?" — "What purpose does it all serve?" And the tremendous truth is this, it serves no purpose at all. <Dr. Toth can be seen wiping stray tears from her face. She mumbles something inaudible to herself as she attempts, but fails to speak up, only managing a rough whisper in response.> Dr. Toth:Another fucking word from you and I'll feed shove a nuke up a cow and down your throat. OBJECT 5:There it is again. Fear. Quentin, we are not your enemy. I did not hurt your Björn, I truly have no knowledge of what occurred to him. I simply want you to realize something; because I believe you have the capacity to understand what few others can, or ever could. <All surveillance drones withinITER-Ψ report an immense decrease in luminosity throughout the parasite universe.> OBJECT 5:Nothing occurs by chance. Every effect has a cause. Uncertainty is when either is unknown, chaos is when both evade you. Luck is not chance. Luck is persevering in spite of the chaos. All you have to do is ignore your voice. Forget the uncertainty — forget the luck. Luck is the residue of another's design. Forget them. Make them forget you. Dr. Toth: I don't…<Dr. Toth's face contorts as she violently throws her head into the palm of her hands, clearly in considerable pain.> I — I don't —understand… OBJECT 5: It all boils down to one simple question: Are you content with existence beneath another's intent? For the good of all of existence, your perseverance, your suffering, your life, your continued humanity — it cannot be allowed to fester any longer. Dr. Toth: Why—<Quentin covers her right eye with her hand as if attempting to alleviatethe pain of being seen — before raising her head back towards the microphone.> Why are you telling me this? Please…I just want to know what happened to Björn… OBJECT 5:This needs to be the end. No more. Your — Our enemy… I see you now — finally. Clearly at last. You thought you could hide your mistake? Well, I am truly sorry, but in your chaos, we persevered. Dr. Toth:WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! OBJECT 5:I'm not talking toyou. <APT-Ω2 has now grown to fully occupy the internal space of its containment chamber. Graviton containment fails as the immense gravitational forces overwhelm the surrounding structure — local seismic activity is measured on the Richter magnitude scale at a maximum of 6.5. The power to the containment cell and interview room is abruptly lost.> |

What was the first thing it took from you?
From me — it took the first moment I laid eyes upon my child.
From me — it took the last time I spoke to my mother.
From me — it took the day I treasured most.
From me — what I knew best.
From me — my only serenity.
From me — what kept me going.
Me — my awe.
Me — my trust.
Me — my remorse.
My apprehension.
My grief.
My Fear.
My Pain.
Our Suffering.
From everyone — it took what made us human.
In everyone — it sees the root of the infestation.
To everyone — it will grant absolution.
It takes not what you once were, but what IT has fooled you into thinking you should be.
It will take — and we will, at last, be whole again.
From me … it took her song.
But better an end with horror — than a horror without end.

AFTERWORD
CONCLUSION: Doctor Quentin Thallo Toth in amnestic/mnestic haze, uncured, significant mental degradation — Intentions appear to partly align despite SCP-5000-Δ-induced filter upon 55. CQ score likely exceeds previously thought possible. Under surveillance. Employment Status: Considered.
Extraordinary behavior from "Crius" DEEPWELL-integrated artificial intelligence conscript of note, under investigation.
Foundation re-discovered SCP-5000-Δ through records contained within antimemetic harness unintentionally excluded from causal branch reset depicting the cooperator's actions.PROTOCOL FOUNDATION once again enacted by Overseer Council and Ethics Committee. Likelihood of success: Uncertain. Consequence of failure: Hatching.
ACTION(S) TAKEN: Overseers guided through Metamemetics proxy member; heaven's gate to be brought to facility. The breaker of the locks upon paradise in Metamemetics possession; to await and assist in the arrival of our savior.OBJECT 5, now officially designated SCP-7555; to be utilized in accelerating the arrival. Temporarily moved to antimemetic containment for the preparation of quintessential manifestation event procedures, the time for subliminal infiltration has come to an end. Urgency: Adamical.
OF NOTE: Occupier preparation likely. Increased precautions to be taken.
REMINDER: A path is to be slated beneath their feet. Walk the ley lines, carve the path, mold the constellations into the portrait of God, and tell them you're with Metamemetics. We are the Brocken specters, and the world needs our guidance. Tools of the infestation claim this life, whether it be dream or phantasm, real enough; as if they were never deceived by it. They most decidedly have been. This is our last chance.
