Thirteen, with the help of Five and Eight, quickly developed a classified project, bringing only trusted personnel under the fold. But even the most trustworthy and loyal personnel were never told the full picture, never knew the reason why Thirteen was pushing so hard.

At that time, the Council was... oblivious. Looking back, it was obvious Thirteen would do something to save her lover. But to go to the furthest extent, to sacrifice herself? That, even now, is surprising.

Rest assured, you should already be immune to the memetic kill agent below.

**Project Codename:** Alcestis

**Creation Date:** 2019/09/04

**Supervised By:** O5-5, O5-8, O5-13

**Project Aims:** To successfully to negate and "shield" anomalies from SCP-9822's capabilities, effectively allowing certain anomalies to function during SCP-9822.

------

**Abstract & Rationale:** In response to the Ethics Committee's directives regarding SCP-9822, Project Alcestis is a multi-disciplinary initiative to research and develop protocols for the mitigation of traumatic phenomenological experiences during SCP-9822 events. Data provided by the Ethics Committee's investigation indicates that the SCP-9822 event causes cumulative psychological and physical distress to sentient anomalies, posing a significant and growing risk to containment stability and ethical integrity. Project Alcestis aims to address this by "shielding" sentient anomalies from the experience of SCP-9822's activation and deactivation by any means necessary, including the permanent neutralisation of SCP-9822.

**Research Objectives:** Project Alcestis aims to do the following to achieve its primary goal:
* To investigate the feasibility of creating localised temporal zones that can house select sentient anomalies during SCP-9822's active state, essentially "shielding" said anomalies.
* To study the fundamental nature of SCP-9822 to determine if its effects can be modulated or negated.
* To research the possibility and method of fully neutralising and decommissioning SCP-9822.
* To identify, catalogue, and secure anomalous resources whose properties could be potentially leveraged for the above objectives.
* To covertly ally with the Serpent's Hand for additional energy and resources.

------

**Methodology & Progress:** Below is the methodology and progress of Project Alcestis, outlined by steps, then progress notations, which are marked by [[span style="color:mediumblue"]]blue[[/span]] text. As much of the project is theoretical, the methodology is based on research findings of previous steps and is planned simultaneously with ongoing phases.

[{{[[span style="color:green"]]**Successful**[[/span]]}}] **Phase 1:** Foundational Research & Infrastructure
* **Personnel & Infrastructure:** A loyal, trustworthy team of researchers will be handpicked from Temporal, Thaumaturgical, and Applied Anomalous Physics departments, personally supervised by O5-13. O5-8 will establish a black-site research facility with Level-5 informational security. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2019/09/17] Success. The team has been created and is currently based in Site-██.[[/span]]
* **Theoretical Research:** The team will conduct preliminary research regarding pre-Foundation calendrical systems and SCP-9822's historical data. Cover stories may be used when necessary. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2019/11/26] Success.[[/span]]
* **Resource Identification:** The team will compile a list of SCP objects with potential reality-anchoring or temporal-shielding properties for testing. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2019/11/29] Success. A list was created, and all SCP objects were acquired without raising suspicion.[[/span]]

[{{[[span style="color:goldenrod"]]**Partially Successful**[[/span]]}}] **Phase 2:** Collaboration & Prototype Testing
* **External Collaboration:** O5-5 will initiate deniable contact with the Serpent's Hand. The objective is to trade non-critical Foundation data for their knowledge on reality structuring and the calendar system from the Wanderer's Library. Cover stories may be used when necessary. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2020/01/29] Success. A liaison has been established, and the necessary information has been exchanged. Critical esoteric data regarding pre-Foundation calendrical systems has been obtained and is currently under analysis.[[/span]]
* **Small-Scale Prototype:** Utilising Scranton Reality Anchors (SRA) and Xyank/Anastasakos Constant Temporal Sinks (XACTS), the team will attempt to create a stabilised local area and place non-essential anomalous objects within the area. The objective is to see if the area can protect the anomalies from the SCP-9822 event, and thus, allow anomalies to continue to function. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2020/03/14] Failed. During SCP-9822's activation, all prototype shielding, along with several reality and temporal stabilising SCPs, failed simultaneously. All anomalous objects within the areas were affected by SCP-9822. Technological solutions are insufficient. All forward-moving phases are to focus on halting SCP-9822, not shielding anomalies from it.[[/span]]

[{{[[span style="color:green"]]**Successful**[[/span]]}}] **Phase 3:** Further Analysis & Assessment
* **Esoteric Analysis:** The team will cross-reference data provided by the Serpent's Hand with O5-13's private research into the O5 Cycle's origins to formulate a complete model of SCP-9822. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2020/07/06] Breakthrough. Cross-analysis confirms that SCP-9822 is a symptomatic manifestation of a foundational reality fracture. The 365th day created by SCP-9822 is identified as a metaphysical vacuum and is the leftover signature of a "broken piece" in time from a prior cosmological state.[[/span]]
* **O5 Structure Assessment:** Previous research hinted at SCP-9822's connection with the O5 Council and it's "Cycle." Thus, the team will analyse the O5 Council's structure for any functional or symbolic purpose beyond administrative governance. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2020/07/30] Breakthrough. Review of historical records indicates the structure of thirteen O5 Council members was implemented after the first recorded SCP-9822 event, not before. The O5 Council's "Cycle" was not an act of remembrance or management, but a containment mechanism built in response to SCP-9822. The system requires the person holding the title of O5-13 to act as a "grounding conduit," channelling the annual metaphysical stress of the SCP-9822 event. This function explains the severe, often tragic, personal histories associated exclusively with this seat.[[/span]]

[{{[[span style="color:green"]]**Successful**[[/span]]}}] **Phase 4:** Protocol Development & Metaphysical Integration
* **Theory Development:** The team will explore the hypothesis that the only method to seal the metaphysical wound will be from within. It will require a consciousness of sufficient metaphysical weight, one intrinsically tied to the rules of reality and the broken calendar, to enter the void and serve as an anchor. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2020/12/17] Success. The hypothesis was validated. Modelling indicates that neutralisation is theoretically achievable via the insertion of a consciousness acting as an anchor into the fracture point. Though this will require a consciousness already symbolically bound to the flawed system, resulting in the anchor's ontological consumption.[[/span]]
* **Ritual Development:** The team will develop a thaumaturgical ritual to tether an individual's consciousness directly into the metaphysical wound. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2021/02/04] Success. The Alcestis Protocol has been finalised. It outlines a precise thaumaturgical procedure for initiating a permanent metaphysical bond between a designated consciousness and the SCP-9822 fracture.[[/span]]
* **Selection:** The project will designate a candidate to act as the sacrificial anchor. [[span style="color:mediumblue"]][2021/02/05] Success. O5-13 is confirmed to be the only viable candidate, possessing both the necessary symbolic and metaphysical connections to the system's point of failure. Execution of the Alcestis Protocol has been scheduled for the next SCP-9822 activation.[[/span]]

[{{[[span style="color:steelblue"]]**In Progress**[[/span]]}}] **Phase 5:** Protocol Execution & Monitoring
* **Protocol Execution** The Alcestis Protocol will be initiated at 23:45 UTC, on 2022/08/21. O5-13 will be positioned at the primary ritual site, constructed atop a major telluric confluence. The other members of the O5 Council, including O5-5 and O5-8, will be covertly administered a Class-V neuro-symbolic agent that will temporarily synchronise their cognitive patterns with the established O5 Cycle, providing the necessary ritual framework. The Serpent's Hand will provide the necessary power to conduct the ritual through anomalous means. At 00:00 UTC, on 2022/08/22, as SCP-9822 activates, the team will channel a collective symbolic weight through O5-13, forcing her consciousness into the metaphysical vacuum to serve as an anchor.
* **Consciousness Monitoring:** O5-13's Mnestic Implant Device will record her final moments and the metaphysical transition of her consciousness. Using this data, the team aims to understand the process of permanent ontological integration.
