[[include :scp-wiki:component:author-label-source end=--]]

**Item №:** SCP-8204

**Object Class:** Neutralized

**Archived Containment Procedures:** All personnel assigned to SCP-8204 are to be stationed within the anomaly itself. Supplies are to be delivered on a monthly basis via unmanned deep sea submersible.

**Description:** SCP-8204 is an underwater habitat built into the rockface of the Marianas Trench, 9400 meters below sea level. It has sustained significant damage of indeterminate provenance; portions of the facility have been sealed off due to structural instability or flooding.

SCP-8204 is divided into six sections, which are as follows:

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Designation:** Section Alpha

**Description:** Life-support systems. The central power generator has been partially damaged by invasive flora, causing intermittent power fluctuations throughout the facility.

[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Designation:** Section Beta

**Description:** Habitation. The presence of abandoned personal effects suggests that prior residents were made to leave SCP-8204 unexpectedly.

[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Designation:** Section Gamma

**Description:** Containment. Cells are empty and do not appear to have been previously occupied.

[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Designation:** Section Delta

**Description:** Hydroponics. Largely obstructed by dense vegetation. Bone fragments from at least twelve different human skulls were scattered throughout the area.

[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Designation:** Section Epsilon

**Description:** Administrative offices. A preserved corpse that strongly resembles Dr. ████ was discovered in its entryway. The corpse showed no signs of injury, although a bullet was found in its mouth. When questioned, Dr. ████ had no knowledge of the anomaly.

[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Designation:** Section Zeta

**Description:** Digital archives. Appears to be as large or larger than the rest of the facility. 99.998% of stored data has been deemed irretrievable.

**Addendum 8204-1: Gamma Manifestations**

In the event that one or more living humans enter a Section Gamma cell, illusory phenomena will manifest within it so long as they remain inside its boundaries. Illusory effects are distinct to each cell, remaining consistent across occurrences.

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Cell #:** 67

**Manifestation:** Night. Interior of a burning building. Flames let off heat but do not cause pain. Through a window, figures wearing stone masks are seen dancing in the street.

[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Cell #:** 29

**Manifestation:** Day. Interior of a helicopter overlooking an urban coastline. A ~40 km diameter chasm appears to have abruptly manifested within the city, cutting a circular hole into the land and sea.

[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Cell #:** 45

**Manifestation:** Night. Snowy arboreal landscape. Over the course of 15 minutes, the full moon enters view from behind cloud cover. Muffled human screaming begins to emanate from the earth.

[[/div]]

[[div class="blockquote"]]

**Cell #:** 01

**Manifestation:** A field of beautiful flowers. Day.

**Addendum 8204-2: Final Manifestation**

On 11 November 2013, a hidden cell was found behind a false wall in Section Epsilon. The following is what occurred upon first contact:

[[div class="blockquote"]]

= **[BEGIN LOG]**

//[Researcher Williams enters the cell. Upon crossing the threshold, Dr. ████ appears on the opposite side of the chamber, facing away. He takes a small piece of chalk out of his pocket and starts drawing a circle on the wall.]//

**Dr. ████:** We saw it, through the dark. Secreted away in our deep alcove. The ends. The means. The pattern. The slaughter loop.

//[Dr. ████'s chalk line nears its origin point but narrowly misses it, becoming a spiral. He continues to draw.]//

**Dr. ████:** Our planet lives. It dies. It breathes. Always leaving but always returning.

//[Dr. ████'s drawing becomes more and more fervent. As the chalk wears away to a nub, his fingers begin to scrape against the wall, leaving traces of blood in the line. The spiral becomes a gradient of white-to-red.]//

**Dr. ████:** A song smothers the world, but it returns. Our sun becomes a blasphemy, but it //returns//. The children are eating us but it //returns!// 

//[Skin tears. Dr. ████ reaches the center of the spiral. His arm falls limply to his side, blood dripping freely from his shredded fingers.]//

**Dr. ████:** It was never a loop.

//[Dr. ████ turns toward Researcher Williams. The top half of his face is an empty pit.]//

**Dr. ████:** This is your last chance. I pray it will not be wasted.

//[Dr. ████ vanishes but the sanguine spiral remains. Anomalous activity within SCP-8204 ceases shortly thereafter.]//
