Chapter 744

【 Item #: SCP-3999 】

【 Danger Level: Neutralized 】

【 Special Containment Procedures: 】

【 "SCP-3999" is contained in a Keter-class airtight containment room within Site-118. 】

【 Four armed guards were found to have been stationed outside the containment room. The interior of the containment room consists of a shaft 120 one kilometer deep, covered with acid-resistant baffles. 】

【 Scranton Reality Anchors are installed on the walls every 30 meters; they seem to have experienced a violent explosion. 】

【 Little information remains regarding the containment procedures for "SCP-3999". 】

【 Item Description: 】

【 Apparently, "SCP-3999" was once a Keter-class project, possibly some kind of entity; it is currently unclear what other anomalous properties "SCP-3999" possesses. 】

【 The containment room for "SCP-3999" was discovered during a routine inspection of all Keter-class containment areas at Site-118. 】

【 The Records and Information Security Administration (RAISA) has confirmed that there are no records of "SCP-3999" in the database. 】

【 All information regarding the anomalous properties of "SCP-3999" is inferred from the structure of the containment room and documents recovered from within it. 】

【 The four armed guards assigned to monitor "SCP-3999" have significant memory loss and cannot determine how they began to be responsible for "SCP-3999". 】

【 The corpse of Level 3 Researcher Talloran was found at the bottom of the "SCP-3999" containment room; Researcher Talloran disappeared almost immediately after being assigned to Site-118. 】

【 A standard Foundation mobile phone was found on him, containing a text suspected to be the containment procedures for "SCP-3999", but the text and content are full of fallacies and do not conform to the 【REDACTED】 language and format commonly used by the Foundation. 】

【 From this, it has been basically determined that Researcher Talloran was assigned to be responsible for "SCP-3999", and "SCP-3999" possesses powerful reality-bending properties. 】

【 It broke containment at some point, causing a CK-class reality restructuring crisis or a ZK-class reality-end apocalypse, and was stopped and reversed by Researcher Talloran at the cost of his own life. 】

Appendix-1: 【DATA EXPUNGED】

【DATA EXPUNGED】

【 I have finished writing. 】

Stonefish stopped writing and took a deep look at his work.

The paper was filled with text and also filled with strikethroughs; often, a sentence would be half-deleted after being written.

In the end, the paper in front of him was filled with "only", and then, similarly, every line of text was crossed out.

He gently closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

That was a narrative about struggle, pain, hope, and despair; it was a true portrayal of his battle with depression.

And in this short yet long creative process, he found a kind of peace of mind.

"I have finished writing," he said. ===== CHAPTER 746 =====
