SCP-2834

Item #: SCP-2834

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2834 is to be kept in a high-value anomalous object locker. Testing with SCP-2834 is prohibited.

Description: SCP-2834 is an ink well containing 35 milliliters of India Ink. Upon classification as an SCP object but prior to testing, it was discovered that 500 experiment log entries had already been uploaded to the database.¹

It was noted that the entries were extremely similar to the first proposed test, save for the exact color of the pen. RAISA analysts reported a Type-8L reality disruption event in DEEPWELL server logs corresponding to each uploaded test entry. The entries were never updated, suggesting the experiments in question were not fully carried out.

A selection from the experiment log is reproduced below:

O5 ACCESS ONLY

During an investigation into a location of interest, MTF-Alpha-1 recovered the following document. It was buried near several anomalous and mundane artifacts in an area lacking in recent human activity. Analysis found its ink matched SCP-2834.

To The Auspicious Marquis of Wuxing, Demon Hunter Zhong Kui.

Four more tesseracts lie in ashes.

Their gargantuan bronze spine and rib span several temples miles apart. A pyroclastic steamwork heart stands stoic, embedded into the statue of our Jade Sovereign.

I and only a few refugees made it past the Nexus entrance. Periodically, we look back and see… nothing. No men, women, children. Nothing but the Sun. The Azure Sky is dead; the False Sun will soon devour the space left behind.

My dear compatriot, I am frustrated. I wish things were plainer. I wish there were a great blindfold over this world. A vast, impervious fortress ought to stand before us, guarding our children's eyes so that they may sleep, never knowing. We are better blind than dead.

Guardian, Jie Wu.

The document was dated as less than a month old.
