【Experiment Report: Parallel Spacetime Jump No. ██】

【Experiment Date: ██/██/████】

【Based on the results of the ██th, ██th, and ██th parallel spacetime jump experiments, we have roughly determined the timeframe in which human civilization existed during the previous cosmic epoch.】

【During this period, we confirmed the existence of the Foundation and observed a brand-new type of doomsday scenario.】

【Named "The Great Fade" or "The Great Rain" by the Foundation of that world, its principles, path of action, and origin remain unknown.】

【Furthermore, we observed that the Foundation of that world constructed a mega-structure, which triggered a distortion in the spacetime structure.】

【To avoid altering the course of history, the request for close-range observation was rejected. We will continue long-range observation. Should further requirements arise, we will coordinate with the "Edith Project" team to observe this universe.. 】

【……】

【However, just as the pilot was about to return, they received a communication from the Foundation of that universe. See Appendix 2.】

【The Foundation of that universe shared all their observation records with us, as well as data and archives titled "The Ultimate Project" and "The Black Hole Furnace." See Appendix 3.】

【In return, we honored their will, maintained silence, and departed their universe.】

【Appendix 2】

【To our Foundation colleagues in the parallel universe:】

【Greetings.】

【Since you have appeared here, does this mean our plan succeeded?】

【While we are curious about the answer, please do not reply; this is also our request.】

【Please do not be surprised that we were able to discover you.】

【We were able to discover you because, since the doomsday began, we have been experimenting with various technologies, and a facility used to observe spacetime changes happened to detect your traces.】

【It detected you when it was built several years ago, but you disappeared quickly. By the time we observed you again, it was already today.】

【Therefore, we speculate that you come from the future, or from a parallel world, and that you keep traveling through spacetime, approaching the doomsday, because you want to know what happened here.】

【Here, we share everything we know with you and transmit all technical and design documents for "The Ultimate Project" and "The Black Hole Furnace."】

【This is an incredibly insane plan; even if it succeeds, it will completely erase the traces of our existence. Please be aware of its dangers.】

【However, everyone hopes that even if the universe perishes, traces of themselves will remain in the world, and we are no exception.】

【And now, another one of our wishes has been fulfilled.】

【We wish you and your universe good luck!】

【We control, we contain, we protect.】

【The Overseer Council, in its entirety.】

"That's a lot of information. Let me process this..."

"In other words, the Foundation in our universe has obtained the complete 'Black Hole Furnace' technology. If they wanted to, they could drain the time radiation of the entire universe at any moment."

"This is bad. Everyone was worried the Foundation had a world-ending weapon, and it turns out they actually do."

"No, the most terrifying thing about the 'Black Hole Furnace' isn't that it can incinerate the entire universe in an instant, but that it can shape a desired universe at will."

"But that's not entirely accurate. The recast universe still inherits the information from the previous one. The operator's expectations can influence the trajectory, but they cannot determine the developmental path. It doesn't reach the level of a god creating a universe at will."

"True."

Lines of text appeared and then vanished. Soon after, the file for "SCP-C-3999" appeared on the screen.

【Object: Crossing Heaven】

【Item Number: SCP-C-3999】

【Danger Level: Safe】

【Special Containment Procedures:】

【"SCP-C-3999" is stored in a standard object containment room at Site-C-100. Its internal data has been exported and backed up. No other containment procedures are required.】

【Based on information recovered from within the project, due to a potential connection with the events recorded by the project, Site-C-100 resident researcher Christina Springfield is currently assigned as the project's HMCL administrator.】

【Project Description:】

【"SCP-C-3999" is a personal data processor. Its structure differs slightly from current Foundation standards, but its internal contents can be read losslessly by any standard Foundation terminal.】

【No events corresponding to the contents recorded within it have been found in current reality, and its true origin remains unclear.】

【On 1/1/2024, the project appeared out of thin air in front of the research site of the Nanjizhou Branch.】

【Dating indicates that the age of the project itself far exceeds Earth's history, with its estimated upper age limit being roughly the same as the current estimated age of the universe.】

【The project's authorized identity and built-in data information are identical to those of Site-17 resident agent Alice Thompson.】

【The latter stated she had no knowledge of the project, but it did indeed trigger a "feeling of nostalgia" in her.】 ===== CHAPTER 915 =====
