**Item #:**  SCP-7995

**Object Class:** Euclid

**Special Containment Procedures:** All information regarding SCP-7995 collected from testing must be recorded in Document 7995-A.[[footnote]]See Addendum 19.[[/footnote]] Under no circumstances are any personnel to enter SCP-7995. Sick or immunocompromised personnel are not permitted within one hundred metres of SCP-7995.

**Description:** SCP-7995 is an empty structure in the Lake District, Cumbria, UK. Despite externally resembling a typical civilian dwelling, living inside SCP-7995 would be impossible. Its actual prior function is unknown.

SCP-7995 is a focal point for varying anomalous activity, with few apparent consistent themes. Tentative attempts at establishing a connecting narrative have been undertaken, and recorded in Document 7995-A.

**Addendum 7:** Sample recovered diary entries from [DATA LOST].

> Been meaning to write in here more often. Supposed to be good for you. So, here I go.

> Need milk

> Theresa is so hot it's not fair
> 
> what am I supposed to do

> For the World is Hollow, and I Have Touched the Sky. God grant me the confidence to think a piece of work that mediocre warrants a title that pretentious.

> The ships I haunted never sailed; they just drifted through stagnant seas. How fitting. [DATA LOST]

**Addendum 9:** Interview logs

> **Interviewed:** Ronald Jensen, Rachel Swann, Elijah Katonga
> 
> 
> **Interviewer:** Researcher Julian Farnsworth
> 
> 
> **Foreword:** The three interviewees were civilians discovered in the vicinity of SCP-7995 at initial discovery. All were asked the same questions separately; thus, responses have been grouped together for convenience's sake.

> **Swann:** Above my pay grade.

> **Swann:** No-one works there.

> 
> **Swann:** What is there to clarify? No-one works there, no-one's ever worked there, I knew that when they hired me.
>

> **Swann:** Fuck me, you're a bit dense, aren't you?

> ----

> 
> **Swann:** I did my job, like I'm supposed to. My shift started at ten, so I arrived at quarter to. Had a chat with Ronnie before he went. We talked about Carlisle's chances at promotion, would you like to know where I thought we'd finish in the table, too?

> **Farnsworth:** Good, good. In that case, I must admit I'm rather confused as to what you were doing there at when the agents arrived, at... //[he checks his notes, shuffling papers]// Half one in the afternoon.

> 
> **Katonga:** Still doesn't sit quite right? Well, I'm sorry to dredge anything up, Mr. Farnsworth, but I wish you could use it to drown me out.
> 
> 
> Thing is, Mr. Farnsworth, is that I want you to imagine you are your name. Imagine it's everything, one little world that sums you up as a person, encapsulates your loves, hates, gives you an identity that through rain or sleet or gloom of night you can cling to that gives you an anchor in the storm just a small small noise that is //you//.

> **Katonga:** Now tell someone your name. It doesn't matter who, just do it. Give them all of that. Only you can't. It won't leave. It clings to your tongue, its spines pierce your cheeks and throat, its tentacles reach down your oesophagus and yank it back down. It slams your jaw shut, so hard your teeth shatter, you gag as it squirms its way back down and //you know it's right.// It's right, Mr. Farnsworth. But I'm right, but that doesn't even matter.

> **Notes:** All three were released shortly after these interviews. Each were individually administered a dose of Class C amnestics. This was later followed up with a dose of Class B amnestics, two doses of Class A amnestics, four doses of Class C amnestics, and a solution two parts Class A amnestic and two parts Class C amnestic. Eventually, they all signed non-disclosure agreements, requiring steady payment from the Foundation in return.

> //D-94771 looks up at the sky, shielding her eyes.//
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Lovely day for it. Always wanted to go to Melbourne, hoped it'd be under better circumstances. The file was pretty vague, anything I should know going in here?
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** Unfortunately, we don't really have any more information to give you.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Oh, good. Gotten me for a brand new one, then, that's distressingly exciting.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** We've actually been investigating this for a while.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Oh. So... I'm the first one to explore it, then.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** No.
>

> 
> **D-94771:** Well, grand. What //can// you tell me?
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** Nothing.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Great. I can already tell you and me are gonna get on famously.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** You and I.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** //[she sighs, looking to the sky]// Great. Great.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** Shall we begin?
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Why not?
> 
> 
> //She steps up to the door.//
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** What does it look like, to you?
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** A, uh, shed? I dunno.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** What do you expect to see inside?
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Uh, shed... -y... things? Fuck if I know. //[she half-laughs]// Plus the spooky monster trying to eat me.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** That too. Alright, you can go in.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Lucky me.
> 
> 
> //She enters. Inside is [DATA EXPUNGED]//
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Not a shed, then. Okay. There's a reception desk, a cloakroom to the right. No-one coming to take my coat, though.
> 
> 
> //She walks behind the [DATA EXeption desk, and begins looking through.//
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** You're not wearing a coat.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Yeah, well, thought that counts. Desk's full of random shit, I don't think it's anything useful.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** Alright. Carry on, then.
> 
> 
> //She leaves the lobby, and takes the lift to the first basement. A shadow flickers at the edge of her torchlight as the doors open to an empty laboratory, but no details can be ascertained.//
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Bloody hell, what a mess. Okay, er, looks pretty sciency, but... nope, computers aren't working.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** Anything useful about?
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Uh... there's a diary, okay. Why are there always diaries?
> 
> 
> //D-94771 adjusts her torch so she can read, and begins flipping through.//
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** You know that could be dangerous, right?
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Bet it's not. //[she is quiet for a moment]// "The ships I haunted never sailed; they just drifted through stagnant seas." What a prick.

> **Whitaker:** Move on, please, Olivia.

> **Whitaker:** It //is// you, good. What happened, are you alright?
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Yeah! Uh, when we got cut off, I found somewhere safe-looking and hunkered down. Picked the kitchen.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** And the singing?
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Bored. Shall we get on?
> 
> 
> //D-94771 leaves the attic, making her way back to the lift. She goes down to the first floor.//

> **Whitaker:** How are you feeling, by the way?
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Honestly?
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** Of course.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** I don't like this place. It feels cold.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** The environment? Or -
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Not physical. Not sure how to describe it, it's like... being at a party where no-one likes you. Although that's //most// parties I've been to.

> //The doors open to a dusty, dimly-lit corridor. D-94771 cautiously begins to make her way down it.//

> 
> **Whitaker:** Can you elaborate?
> 
> 
> //D-94771 sneezes, and rummages around her pockets.//
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Ah... Not really. It's weird, I dunno. I'm D-class, we say stuff. What, I have to understand it, too?
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** You must have some idea.

> **D-94771:** Damn it, could've sworn I had tissues in here...

> **Whitaker:** Olivia...
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** //[she stops, and sighs]// Look, you know what happened here?

> 
> **Whitaker:** No? Wh-

> 
> **D-94771:** I do. But it doesn't matter.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** Oh? And why is that?
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** //[she shrugs]// Just one of a gazillion other identikit things you don't understand. What's the point?
> 
> 
> //She continues walking in silence.//
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** It's funny, I don't even know what D-class means.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** It means you're a prisoner we abducted because no-one would miss you and no-one would mind us doing horrible things to you.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** ...you don't mince your words, do you?
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** No. You deserve better than that.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Do I? What did I do?
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** Er... //[sound of shuffling papers]// Armed robbery. Your mother couldn't pay the rent, apparently.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** Oh. That doesn't sound like me. At least I don't think it does.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** Yes, well. It had to be something serious enough to land you here, you see, but at the same time you couldn't hurt anyone. Had to be something understandable, possibly even sympathetic.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** I don't understand.
> 
> 
> **Whitaker:** No. You're rather not supposed to, I'm sad to say.
> 
> 
> **D-94771:** ...doesn't my mum miss me?
