------

I've got a bunch of errors about the SCP-7423 slot not working properly. After looking into it, it seems like some really old files are messing with the system. All of them are locked to O5-10 access. Given how much of a mess the raw files are, I've ordered all the files in a rough timeline that I've attached to this email. Fair warning: It's rough. Some things are duplicated or in the wrong place but you'll see why in a bit. If you don't want to deal with this yourself I'm also open to fixing this, with your permission.

It took us embarrassingly long to respond to the situation in Kirk Lonwood High. We had a presence in the school ever since the containment of SCP-332, but the Foundation only had so much capacity for stationary anomalies. SCP-332 was at the time deemed unimportant enough that we could get away with just locking the band room and informing the right people of the necessary procedures. There were bigger fish to fry, or so we thought at the time.

The checkups in the first few months of 76 didn't report anything interesting. The GOC considered the town our responsibility and we actively kept the UIU away from anything they could mess up. When we visited again in May it was far too late for the School.

I remember that early during the crisis, a lot of it was blamed on this semi-connected group of High School anomalies. That of course changed when the Apollyon took all our attention. Blaming it solely on either of the two would still be a wrong assessment. Even with all that happened, there's a bit of an overestimation of the world-ending capabilities of a single anomaly. On paper, they often seem like they can expand infinitely, but they all have a limit in one way or another. Mountains in particular are a bulwark of reality your average world-ender finds a hurdle too steep to climb.

The worst one of the "Syncope" anomalies was probably SCP-7676 with its cascading waves of reality alterations. The thing is that these anomalies were almost exclusively focused on North America, with maybe [https://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-cn-1976 one or two] appearing on other continents. We had all reason to believe that in the absolute worst case we would only lose the US. And that was still far-fetched with how local most of them were. No, the role these anomalies played in all of this was spreading our resources thin at a time with so many wildfires that the Veil was already tearing.

**O5-11:** And I'm telling you we can't keep this amnestics supply up. We're on our way to having cracks spread through the entirety of the Veil. My recommendation is to focus our Veil maintenance and abandon disinformation efforts for specific areas.

**O5-6:** What cities do you have in mind?

**O5-11:** Ground Zero cities have the highest demand and are the likeliest to be lost despite our efforts.

**O5-2:** We can not abandon cities to the anomalous prematurely. We owe them that much.

**O5-8:** Seconding Two. Any city completely out of our control is ground for hostile memes to fester. We need nationwide amnestics coverage if we want to keep any of them under control.

**O5-2:** What's your estimation of fallout if we continue as normal, Eleven?

**O5-11:** Exponential Veil failure. Being generous we can withhold amnestics for 1 in 10 individuals as long as we rebound at some point. Any more than that and the unamnesticized can successfully spread veiled information faster than we can amnesticize them. //(Pause)// If we can't allow any shortage in the supply the only solution that comes to mind is [[[SCP-3000|the eel]]].

**O5-2:** Absolutely not.

**O5-11:** I'd rather fail morally than completely.

**O5-6:** We might not have to go that far. There are measures that lower the amnestics demand. We could completely shut down one source of anomalies if we get rid of High Schools.

**O5-2:** I've looked over your reports and I'm unsure it would end as long as Syncope Symphony is still around.

**O5-6:** //Are// they still around?

**O5-11:** We also don't have the push to make the government comply, not yet.

**O5-6:** The GOC might if they raise their response to Pizzicato.

**O5-4:** The GOC just raised KTE-1162 to Level 5. I doubt it.

**Administrator:** They're not the only ones.

//The Council stands up.//

**O5-2:** Administrator. I am admittedly surprised you've come.

**Administrator:** So am I. It's clear I can't leave this Council alone with what it's supposed to do.

**O5-11:** What do you mean, not the only ones?

**Administrator:** I was at [[[keter-duty|Site-100]]], trying to integrate our main troublemaker. No success.

**O5-6:** That means-

**Administrator:** Yes. "Keter-Class SCP objects that are judged for integration into SCP-001, but unable to be forced into integration are to be upgraded to Apollyon."

**O5-6:** //(whistles)// Been a while since we had to deal with one.

**O5-2:** Will we have your support, now that the threat has risen to this level?

**Administrator:** I will make some of my assets available, but it is ultimately your mission to handle this. Ten?

**O5-10:** Yes?

**Administrator:** There are a few files I'll grant access to for you later, just in case. Share them with the Council at your own discretion.

The question as to the source of anomalies is an often asked one. The question is of course easily answered in that there is not one but many. No "source" we may find is able to cover everything that is anomalous.
[[/div]]

[[div_ style="margin-bottom: 12px;"]]
A more commonly theorized origin lies in the social atmosphere that surrounds us everywhere we get into contact with people. Anomalies are then a sort of social tension that twists and twists until it breaks. Were this hypothesis true, then anomalies are theoretically reproducible, albeit only if the exact social situation can be recreated.
[[/div]]

[[div_ style="opacity: .75; margin-bottom: 12px;"]]
It is to note that there is no difference between the paranormal being the product of our social reality and the theory that certain social situations simply attract attention from the kind of entity that leaves the anomalous in their wake.

**Al Fine:** I'm going to be exceedingly generous and assume you had a good reason to abandon your posts like that.

**O5-6:** It's not a matter of retreating. More a change in strategy to focus on our most important Sites.

**Al Fine:** You're hiding, is what you're saying.

**O5-10:** In a way, I guess that is correct.

**Al Fine:** We had an agreement. We can't focus on emergent threats if you can't suppress any long-term problems.

**O5-6:** You seem to be handling it well, considering how you dealt with North Hillcrest High.

**Al Fine:** Don't make me laugh. And for what? So you can focus all forces in Yellowstone? Whatever you're hiding there better be worth it.

**O5-4:** Given the situation, the Council has agreed to share some information pertaining to that matter.

//DC al Fine is brought a short stack of files with [[[SCP-2000]]] printed on the topmost one. Al Fine  skims them.//

**Al Fine:** You can't be serious.

**O5-10:** We assure you, the device exists as described.

**Al Fine:** It can't. The Foundation doesn't have the capability to build this, you outright state this. And it can't have been used before or your technological advancement would surpass ours by at least 40 years.

**O5-10:** We haven't. SCP-2000 was brought into this timeline by a Global Reality Shift. It didn't exist 40 years ago.

**Al Fine:** This still doesn't justify your retreat.

**O5-10:** How far are we from the Minimum Repopulation Margin of the GOC?

**Al Fine:** We're not that far off, but we know this crisis is nearing its end. If both we and Pentagram continue like this there is still a chance to save humanity. If we hold out just a few months Eurtec will be operable enough to allow for instant deployment anywhere without much cost.

**O5-10:** Overextending us now might put SCP-2000 in danger which is a risk we aren't willing to take. Given current projections we can wait the crisis out and then start reconstruction.

**Al Fine:** There is no waiting it out. If you hide away in your bunkers humanity will die!

**O5-10:** We've already strayed far too much of course. What is there left to save? Even if we pull through and rebuild from scratch all our history and culture will be gone.

**Al Fine:** It is already gone. You can't turn back the clock.

**O5-10:** We'll see. I hope we can count on you when we start the reconstruction. Pentagram has already agreed to return the US to its former state.

**Al Fine:** I will not let it come to that. If the GOC is the only one looking forward then we must win alone.

**O5-10:** Supposed?

**O5-6:** Reality often disappoints when it comes to achieving perfection. Be happy we got to 80%.

**O5-10:** Alright. ENUI-5 will be released as scheduled and be the endpoint of Procedure Lazarus-01.

**O5-11:** On that note, is there any chance we can get our hands on 2000's amnestic regiment?

**O5-10:** No. Releasing any of the 2000-specific technology opens Lazarus up for sabotage.

**O5-11:** Staying with the eel it is then.

**O5-10:** Besides, the entire point is that everything after 2000 usage goes back to before.

**O5-6:** It's a bit late for that. Just look at our Orbital Lasers. Or PANOPTICON.

**O5-4:** Or Eurtec.

**O5-10:** Some of the Free Ports growing out of control is an issue. Is there no chance we can bring them back to Lazarus?

**O5-4:** Not unless you want war with the GOC. They fought for humanity's survival, and they will keep it, if just in their little corners hidden from the world.

**O5-2:** I concur. So close to the restart, it may be good to take our focus back to how we'll make it through the coming years instead of years long past.

**O5-10:** I can see the sentiment. There is however one last experiment I'd like to put up for consideration before we officially restart history.

Apologies for the late reply. I've sorted the files you sent me. There were a few there that don't belong here. I will have to take a deeper look at some point to confirm the accuracy of the described events. This should suffice for now to solve the slot problem. I have also created a direct file for SCP-7423 so no one else will mess with the slot. It and all the secondary files are to be restricted to exclusive Archivist Clearance.

**Item #:** SCP-7423

**Object Class:** Safe

**Special Containment Procedures:** As the SCP-7423 project is completed it requires no further Containment. SCP-7423-1 is to be contained per the Containment Procedures of [[[SCP-1423]]].

**Description:** SCP-7423 was part of a Foundation run experiment to test the success of recreating the American culture following the activation of SCP-2000. SCP-7423 specifically focused on reproducing the anomalous events in Kirk Lonwood High School in May of the original 1976 AD.

This event was chosen as a plethora of anomalies with unknown origin centred on the final class of High School and the music shop Syncope Symphony appeared in the original 1976 and the following years of the ADK-Class "Anomalous Destabilization" Scenario.

While the exact events could not be reproduced, the experiment resulted in the creation of SCP-7423-1, since designated SCP-1423. SCP-7423 was therefore tentatively deemed a success.

SCP-7423-1 is a polaroid photograph that when held by a human subject will enhance memories of the subject's last high school summer vacation to the point of bypassing amnestic treatment. The back of SCP-7423-1 shows the written message "{{We've had a great year, haven't we?}}"
