#scpfanfiction — Public Fediverse posts

I'm doing it here and not through official SCP channels because... I had a really bad experience the last time I tried my hand at any SCP writing, and while I understand that the community has gotten a whole lot cooler since, I am not confident enough about my dumb idea to try floating it directly at the SCP fandom, so I figured I'd test it out on here first and see if anybody enjoys this.

---CLEARANCE LEVEL 4 OR ABOVE---

This is an emergency transmission to any and all SCP Foundation listening posts in adjacent realities that can receive this. This is former Archivist and now Site Director Jackson Danvers at Foundation Storage Site 181, and as of about 2 days ago, apparently the highest ranking official within the Foundation.

There are a lot of things that, as of now, I am not sure of. I'm not sure if this transmitter has the power we need to reach across realities, our site wasn't really designed for this sort of situation. Even if you can receive us, I'm not sure we can receive your reply or if there's anything you could do for us. And, perhaps most frustratingly, I'm not sure… what happened. We are transmitting this with the hope that if anyone can hear us, we can at least pass on the information we have collected so far, and maybe warn other realities - assuming this was localized to our reality and not widespread - against whatever has taken place here.

Our reality has undergone a massive K-Class event, possibly several concurrent events. We don't have any hard data, for reasons that will become apparent, but Dr. Akkenzo (our senior researcher) is saying it's definitionally either a CK or RK, but I'm not really sure it matters at this point. Whatever the cause, whatever the reason, two days ago something swept through reality and - as far as we can tell - retroactively erased the Foundation, along with multiple other known organizations that specialize in similar fields.

If we don't exist in your reality or timeline or however this multiverse stuff works, Site 181 is a small, remote, perpetually understaffed facility that primarily deals with Anomalous Item storage and document archival. Counting all the individuals that were inside the building at the time of the "event", that's 27 people total who appear to make up the whole of the Foundation presence in our world now. We have a minimal gear depot designed to resupply MTF teams, most of it is brand new in the package but also a couple of decades old. The research and containment staff we have assigned to us are all Class C/Clearance Level 2 or below, and none of them have any meaningful field experience besides Anomalous Item classification. Our most "experienced" researcher and only other surviving Clearance Level 3 staff is Dr. Akkenzo, who was transferred here 'voluntarily' as 'punishment for goofing around' as he tells it, but according to his personnel file (which I can now access), was 'demoted for dangerous, unsupervised, unsanctioned SCP cross-testing' and functionally exiled to our facility as a way to keep him from killing himself or others.

The running theory is that whatever happened somehow bypassed the Foundation-standard Scranton Reality Anchors, but wasn't effective against our antique Buxholme Hume Condensers. This building was slated to be upgraded to SRAs, however by the time we were up for the overhaul they had discovered the problems SRAs have with written documents, and since document storage is a good third of our warehouse space, they decided to leave us with the older, safer BHCs. If this was a targeted attack, and that is a very big IF, it's possible that they didn't account for a site running such out-of-date hardware. It's also equally possible that whatever happened was an accident, or some other form of natural phenomena, and that the fact it did not effect our site is merely a coincidence. We just don't know.

We are still actively investigating what is going on, and I will transmit again once we have collected more information. #scp# #scpfoundation #scpfanfiction
