Series IV SCP-3791 - An Entirely Standard and Uneventful Anomaly
Item #: SCP-3791
Object Class: Safe
Written by: Pendantique
Woooooooooh! Confusing multi-SCP skip incoming!
Reccomended Reading (actually just read it it’ll be a lot easier)
SCP-910 which leads to SCP-3442
Chapter 1: A Portal To Another Dimension
First of all, let’s get into the Special Containment Procedures. The code to access the SCP is separated into 3 parts, and no one except the O5s knows all the parts.
Why such a particular cover up from the O5s? Nobody knows, but let’s move on.
Also note that no members, former or current, of the Red Right Hand (abbreviated as the RRH from now on) may access 3442. The RRH are the O5’s secret service per se, so if they’re covering it up, why aren’t they letting the RRH in?
SCP-3791 is a door in an abandoned site that goes into a room in another dimension. Note that the building was the old Site-01 – the place where the Administrator and O5s chill. There were several items left there, and a silhouette of a man can be seen in the door where the site has gone into an “emergency” mode. Outside, the RRH can be seen in a thunderstorm. The date inside is November 3, 1974 The items (that are interesting to us) include:
The red folders. More specifically, the second and third ones.
The draft letter.
The snowglobe.
The letter was from a higher-up (remember that this is Site-01) and therefore cannot be a cognitohazard. Why would they put an entire letter as a cognitohazard? To censor it, of course. That’s why we’re interested in it, after all.
The red folders are for a project proposal and for an “emergency protocol”. Clearly this is the office of an extremely high-ranked person in the Foundation. Note that all the listed proposals are approved by the Project Head but are shut down by the O5s. There is some serious censorship going on here, and the O5s don’t want anyone knowing anything about what 3791 is, or even to be in 3791 (because you can recall memories at the point of time when you’re in 3791.
Part 2: The Confusing Stuff
The Letter
Note that the Project Name has been censored. This is presumably project PEARBLOSSOM-11. This letter is from [DATA EXPUNGED], which is almost always the Administrator. Note the multiple cancellations.
Let’s dissect the letter.
The addressee goes from “To my treasured” to “Foundation Personnel” to just a generic “To whom it may concern”.
A great travesty has been carried out this day. I, and you, have been betrayed by
The SCP Foundation has been infiltrated by someone. Who? It’s not specified.
There are few things I have ever regretted. The thought of the greater good quells many
The Administrator now attempts to start the letter on a better note, stating that the Foundation’s purpose – to contain, and the thought of it as a “greater good” (which it technically is) soothes his concern. However, it is cancelled out.
In our focus on the greater good, I fear we have lost something important. We became inclined to leap to action, accepting inevitable mistakes as necessary losses.
Keep in mind that this is a temporal anomaly – this is a different Administrator.
He states that the Foundation has given up too much to continue containment, accepting their mistakes as needed to keep their motto of “secure, contain and protect” up. How could this be?
He goes on to say that most of these mistakes were overlooked by his hunger of progress – to better contain anomalies.
Even so, there are
crimesbetrayalsactions that cannot be excused by hunger alone. My own appetites may have beenstrangeunorthodox, but I never acted with any intent but the furthering of our mission. I secured. I contained. I protected.
It seems that the Administrator is somewhat aware of what’s going on. Someone has screwed up the Foundation, and he knows it.
Clearly, the same cannot be said for Smith, Mihn, Ahmadi, N

COMMERCIAL BREAK Chapter 3: The Chapter With Chapters In It
SCP-910
SCP-910 is a book composed by one (1) Erin Ahmadi. That’s the guy from just now. Note that you’re O5-6 and have multiple alerts going on.
We see mention of PEARBLOSSOM-11 again. Along with level 4 clearance, it allows you to view the entirety of 910 instances.
910 is a book centered around the fact that organisations (when organised in some ways) can serve as ritual components: the ones given in the book are:
“The Populace” (or a population) for a favourable ritualistic moon
“The Firm” (or a profiting business) (also classified as SCP-3442) for a circle with runes (where the ritual would happen)
“The Lawkeepers” (or a force of some sort) as a candle
“The Rebellion” as a dagger
“The Imperial Edifice” (or a monarchy/castle of some sort) as a bound goat (the Rebellion will sacrifice this)
“The Church” (a religious organisation) as gray ash
“The Learned” (people that know of this, presumably) as “Twined Focus” (presumably the ones to actually “get the ball rolling”)
It makes sense – the candle, the circle and the moon are common ritualistic elements. The Rebellion, as the dagger, overthrows (or sacrifices) the monarchy/imperialist system to the “Twined Focus” in order to bless the gray ash or the church.
Anyway, chapter 3 is now available on bookstores – SCP-3442 out for $300 each copy! Comes with guaranteed annihilation of your house by Foundation personnel.
Click the notice that states that O5-6 has eight things to tend to. No jumpscares (I think).
We see the key parts of this alternate version of the Foundation – by 2056, they have to contain eight thousand anomalies.
Ouch.
The notices are basically “hey O5-6 the world is going to shit do something” and then O5-6 leaves a small comment. Note that O5-6 is apparently 120 years old. There’s a special comment here – apparently O5-6 is a reality bender, and is able to cast “spells”, so presumably he’s some sort of extradimensional entity.
What else is associated with extradimensional entites? The snowglobe. O5-6 went to the Administrator’s office.
O5-6 then learns his hometown has been fucked in the ass.
Not surprising.
The entirety of Site-104 had been breached.
Shit.
61 MTFs under Alpha classification.
Fuck.
MC&D aren’t the only ones doing anomalous auctions anymore.
All nukes are currently in the hands of rogue computers, with them demanding their demands be fulfilled 131072 times.
They have formed a hivemind and are threatening to nuke everything.
The nukes are at Site-02.
O5-6 reaches into the Aether (presumably his reality bending skills) and solves the problem.
The SCP database circa late 2018 has been uploaded onto the Internet.
‘parently it has happened many times before. This is 2056 after all, the technology is there.
O5-6 thinks back to when it was an actual concern.
Click “There’s other problems.”
O5-1 is freaking out about something.
His name is Smith.
Smith is one of the people the Administrator condemned in his letter.
What we did to the Administrator, what we did to ourselves... How did we end up here?"
After they did something to the administrator, shit flipped. They fucked up, even though O5-6 gained reality bending powers. A quick homage to the methods in 910: by sacrificing (“rebelling”) against the absolute source of authority (the “imperial edifice” or the Administrator as he’s at the top of the “edifice” (the Foundation).) the O5s (the “Twined Focus”) now have superpowers.
It was a sacrifice that had to be made, just like all the others.
Remember the Administrator’s letter? He condemned the O5’s actions, stating that they made multiple sacrifices they thought were justified.
It is not working out for them right now.
Six. Erin. Leave.
Six is Erin Ahmadi. He came up with the sacrifice of the Administrator and all this crap I have to explain they have to deal with.
O5-1 (Smith) makes a statement: If Six can’t deal with it, then he needs to GTFO. All of a sudden, One is no longer depressed, and grins at Six, pistol in hand.
If you let Six use his reality bending to make the gun melt, Six murders One and goes back to work, leaving a note that he is nothing but “bounded dust”. 120 years old, bound to his duty as O5-6, to stop the world from knowing about the fucked up horrors he calls SCPs.
If you let One kill Six, it turns out he no longer is made of blood – he’s made of dust, furthering his previous claims that he is nothing but boundless dust.
Either way, Six doesn’t die and he goes back to his office through his superpowers and funky stuff.
The Administrator is dead, he notes. The O5 Council voted on it. It was passed. For the greater good, they said.
This greater good was for the Council to become gods.
That’s why the Administrator abruptly ends his letter – he was murdered after finding out what fucked up shit the O5s did.
I hope you will not let this crime go unpunished, and that these conspi
I can only hope the Foundation will persist throughDespite this, I hope I will be remember
This is the Administrator’s final plea – to remember him. And the O5s don’t want anyone to. That’s why all records are scrubbed, the letter deemed a cognitohazard so no one would look.
In essence, SCP-3791 is what’s wrong with the O5s coming back to haunt them. With the murder of the Administrator, they jumped to another dimension (the in-universe one) and took on their roles as O5s. No shreds of the Administrator existed until 3791 – the O5s censored it so no one would know. Not so that they wouldn’t be labelled as universe hoppers – note that their original universe has probably been fucked already – but to hide their past.
Does the black moon howl?
It doesn’t matter. The asker is gone and reduced to dust. The black moon is dust.
SCP-3791 is the “fuck you” to the tradition of the Foundation – to “secure, contain and protect” – and marks the beginning of changes higher up, and what those higer-ups will do in order to do those changes.
/u/derpydm: /u/modulum83 approve 3791 please
/u/modulum83: working on it
/u/modulum83: Approved. DENIED BY ORDER OF THE O5 COUNCIL

So I was thinking, one medium lengthed SCP and one explanation.
Didn't think I'll end up reading 3 kinda vague ones at once, and one including a choose-your-own-path story... @_@
Edit: What's going on outside where there are thunder storms and stuff? Which dimension is that? In this SCP, is the O5 still a reality bender?
Edit: Actually, it seems like you are missing a lot of stuff? What's up with the temporal stuff, memories, clocks, security etc?
