| SCP-184 |
- The Administrator: Essentially the leader of the Foundation. Depending on what canon you follow, he is either alive, dead, or never existed in the first place. In this case, he exists and is above the O5 council.
- SCP-001: In essence, the most important SCP. SCP-001 is separated into SCP-001 Proposals, with none, one, or several of these files being the true SCP-001. These are normally extremely high quality SCPs written by some of the most well known authors on the SCP wiki that sometimes delve into the depths of SCP Foundation lore.
- Sarkicism (Sarkic): A cult of religious fanatics that practice ritual cannibalism and have beliefs based on apotheosis and organic manipulation. For a more detailed explanation, read the overview of the Sarkicism Hub.
The description is pretty simple, so I don't have to copy it onto here. SCP-184 is essentially a little thingy that can expand rooms. It keeps expanding it until it reaches a certain point, then copies the room.
Initially, they're perfect copies of the room. However, after a while, it'll start to have some errors. If you read The Personal Log of Gordon Richard, it'll tell you the whole story behind it and the Kowloon Walled City. However, the entire thing can be summarized with a few sentences.
I have never seen such a horrible place. The filth is everywhere, whole walls and even structures made of garbage. If you crack your suit for even a second, you get flooded with the smell of smoke, cooking, sweat, machine oil, and excrement.Pretty terrible things. The entire city was copied by SCP-184 so many times that eventually the matter that made it up was essentially garbage. He even reaches a room made entirely out of lights... without a power source. These are the horrors that SCP-184 makes. However, the Special Containment Procedures are quite interesting.
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-184 is not to be contained in any structure. SCP-184 is to be attached to a high-power electromagnet at all times. Should the electromagnet fail, agents are to report to SCP-184's containment area and prevent access to all unauthorized personnel until the electromagnet is returned to power. The containment area for SCP-184 is currently configured to resemble a park with SCP-184 and its containment magnet disguised as a statuary. Any and all visitors are to be monitored.
Any structures affected by SCP-184 are to be demolished after review by [DATA EXPUNGED]. Final demolition approval or inclusion into SCP will also be determined by this body. No investigation is to be done into affected structures without approval and a rescue team on standby.Pretty simple. Keep SCP-184 in an electromagnet at all times. If it fails, secure it. Now the interesting part about this is that it says for it to not be contained in any structure. Smart. They don't want a repeat of the Kowloon Walled City... but click that link and you'll see a huge problem.
Part 2: The Truth
Note that the tale starts off with a quote from the Administrator.
What is the easiest way of hiding the identity of SCP-001?This cryptic line will be explained later. What is said, however, is that the Administrator claims that every SCP-001 proposal is fake.
This is an extremely long tale, so I recommend you read through it before going here, as I will be skipping most of the sections to save time.
The first 2 logs are simply exposition, revealing the characters Frank and David. They're on a spacecraft that's made for intergalactic travel and starts off with some normal human activities, like sleeping and eating. Now, Frank and David say something interesting.
Frank: It's been eighteen days, four hours, and nineteen minutes, since we launched. We're still traveling at max throttle so there's nothing much to see outside other than darkness, since we're going faster than the speed of light. Much faster. But erm, yeah. We recently passed... hey David, what's the name of that place we just went past? Messy-something? Yeah, but like the closest one. Pardon?
David: Messier Eighty-Three!Messier Eighty-Three is a galaxy about 15.04 million light years away. They got there in 18 days, four hours, and nineteen minutes. Doing the math, that's about... 302,167,324C or 302,167,324 times the speed of light. That is really darn fast.
2 months and 24 days after launch, they've passed GN-z11, the most distant galaxy found to date. It's about 32 billion light years away. They are now out of view of Earth's telescopes. However, other than complaints about how the food tastes, there's nothing going wrong as of yet.
Now, the crew of the spacecraft realize something. They found a near-perfect replica of the Milky Way Galaxy. I say near, because things are... different to say the least. Some of the stars that they thought were missing were actually there... just made of some of the strangest stuff.
One of the stars in the binary star system, Epsilon Boötis, was made out of ice cream. They took a sample and apparently it tasted like: "avocados and cigarette smoke." The other one was made completely out of chlorophyll. Antares is solid iodine, and Proxima Centauri is charcoal. When they finally got to "Earth..."
Frank: You can see it's Earth, all the continents are there and shaped right, but they're made of the wrong stuff. Australia's a solid block of gold, the oceans glow blue, the whole American continent is made of maple syrup...They decide to collect as much information as they can and move on to the next galaxy. A predicament also arises from the inside the ship. A crew member named Marie is found to be pregnant. They decide not to talk about it in case it wasn't her husband's.
They continue going on, but all they find is progressively more and more screwed up Milky Way galaxies, with Mercury being ice, Earth being a "Sarkic Utopia" (being made of flesh and blood), and other crazy things.
They keep continuing until the universe itself starts failing, having pockets of where technology fails and they drift, until it suddenly picks back up as if nothing happened. They find sapient anomalies, but no humans. Security is for some reason beefed up around Marie, with security teams armed to the teeth with guns and grenades.
11 months into the trip, the find 2 anomalies that can be classified as other SCPs.
The sun is encompassed in a shell of chitin, and is colonized by vast hordes of stone that shift and move whenever we stop looking at them.SCP-173
Uranus is nothing but a silent lattice of turning gears.SCP-882 or SCP-914
Now right after that log... all hell breaks loose. Marie apparently gives birth to some eldritch horror that kills most of the crew. Security apparently can't contain it either. Frank states that this place isn't normal. It just keeps expanding and duplicating.
Lightbulb.
Of course. Why wouldn't it with [DATA EXPUNGED] outside. Did the Overseers already know what we would find? Or did they just want it confirmed?What expands rooms whenever it's placed inside of them? You know what it is. Presumably, the baby wasn't Marie's either. It could've been planted by the O5 council so that none of them would live to make it back. All they needed was the information. This is also shown by what he states next, about how the cafeteria only spews out rat poison now. Again, planted by the O5s.
The final paragraph states that the information you just read would never see the light of day, for it would go straight to the highest ranks in the Foundation, who would act on it immediately.
Now, the Administrator asks the same question again.
What is the easiest way of hiding the identity of SCP-001, the architect of the universe and its infinite hordes of flaws?Don't classify it as SCP-001.
Yes, in this canon, SCP-184 is the creator of the universe. The entire reason why we have all these homicidal monsters and ancient gods is because of a tiny dodecahedron that expands things.
TL;DR: Little ball like to E X P A N D. Lots of E X P A N D creates universe with monsters.
