**Special Containment Procedures:** As no other organizations are known to have successfully received SCP-9779 and future broadcasts will be blocked by the effects of Project Chelone, no containment procedures are necessary. Research is to instead focus on explaining the consequences of Project Chelone to the public.

**Description:** SCP-9779 was an anomalous broadcast received by the Foundation on 21/10/2026. This broadcast could be received even if the laws of physics are radically different between the sending location and the receiving one. These properties also prevented it from being detected by non-anomalous equipment, thus preventing civilian access to the broadcast. A translation of the first part of the message is provided below.

[[div class="blockquote"]]

= **Translation of SCP-9779 contents**
-----
You are not the first iteration of this universe, and will likely not be the last. We were not the first to send this message. You are in grave danger. The foundations of the universe are not stable and can change without notice. This will change the laws of nature to something incompatible with life as you know it, in a sphere expanding as fast as your laws of nature allow. Once this reaches your planet, you and all you know will be destroyed. You might have already calculated that the risk of this happening is negligible, but if you have received this message, you probably already know not everything in the universe can be calculated so easily. Some things cannot be explained in any system of physics, and these things can make the astronomically improbable vastly more likely. We have compiled everything we and our predecessors have tried to stop this cycle. We can only hope you are in [UNTRANSLATABLE]'s[[footnote]]Presumed to be the name of a deity.[[/footnote]] favor and will be the ones to break the cycle and find a working solution.

[[include component:image-block |name=Falsevacuum.svg.png| caption=The dot represents a field in a state of false vacuum, where E is the total energy level. Should this field bypass the "hill", false vacuum decay will occur.|width=50%|align=left]]
The Foundation's Department of Theoretical Physics has identified the phenomenon described in the broadcast as false vacuum decay, a nonanomalous process that occurs when a quantum field[[footnote]]A field that permeates the universe and gives rise to a particular force or particle, such as electromagnetism or down quarks.[[/footnote]] randomly reaches a lower, more stable energy state. This produces a knockon effect where the change spreads throughout the field, and thus the universe, at the speed of light, producing an expanding bubble whose interior has completely different laws of physics to the outside universe. As described in the message, the risk of this happening is believed to be negligible, but the contents of the message strongly imply the existence of anomalies increases the chance of a decay event occurring.

The rest of the broadcast is split into three parts. The first describes what these previous civilizations have tried to avert their destruction, such as isolating the decay event in a pocket dimension, injecting large amounts of matter into the affected region of space to collapse it into a black hole or using [REDACTED] to reverse the flow of time in the affected region. No evidence has been discovered that any of these attempts have succeeded.

The second contains information on the culture and history of several previous civilizations, including several audio and video recordings. Translations of two of these recordings are included below.

[[div class="blockquote"]]
**Note:** The most obvious difference in the laws of physics of this universe is that the speed of sound is much slower. Thus, most species use visual or scent-based communication, with the dominant species using various sign languages.

**Participants:** President of Clearwaters, Governor of Secondhome[[footnote]]A colony of Clearwaters located in the nearest star system. An extensive paratechnological communications network was used to allow instant communication between Secondhome and the homeworld.[[/footnote]], President of Tallmountain[[footnote]]An isolationist nation with poor international relations, and the first to successfully translate SCP-9779 on their planet.[[/footnote]]. These individuals will be referred to as PC, GS and PT respectively, as their names have not been successfully translated. Support staff are also present on all sides.

//[PC, GS and PT log onto the meeting. They are trilaterally symmetrical[[footnote]]Most large Earth animals, including humans, are bilaterally symmetrical.[[/footnote]] organisms with three legs and three arms, three eyes surrounding the head with another on top and a somewhat insectoid appearance. PT is wearing traditional Tallmountain funeral clothing.]//

**PC:** Alright, why did you call us- why are you wearing that?

**PT:** You'll see.

**GS:** Is that a threat?

**PT:** Not by me. Soldiers, if you will?

//[A group of soldiers pull a device into frame]//

**GS:** Is that a weapon?!

**PT:** No. Now, remember that broadcast I so graciously shared with you all?

**PC:** Your little propaganda piece?

**PT:** It is not propaganda if it is true. It was a pleasure knowing the good people of Secondhome.

**GS:** What do you-

//[Signal from Secondhome abruptly cuts out.]//

**PC:** What did you do?!

**PT:** I did nothing. A moment of silence for the fallen.

//[The Tallmountain delegation close their eyes and do not sign for several seconds. Some of the Clearwaters support staff follow.]//

**PT:** You may think this was all an elaborate ploy to trick you all into building a glorified self-destruct button, but you are wrong. We have already constructed one of the devices, which we have right here.

//[One of the soldiers activates the device. A screen behind it shows a circle slowly spreading across space, having just passed a point labelled "Secondhome".]//

**PT:** I passed on the broadcast unaltered. Unfortunately, our limited resources prevented us from even trying to stop it. We do not even have enough to build the other device.

**PC:** Secondhome... I should have believed you.

**PT:** Do not blame yourself. If the roles were reversed, I probably wouldn't believe you either. In any case, I doubt you could have done anything. If it's any consolation, they didn't feel anything.

**PC:** ...now what?

**PT:** The bubble will reach us in a matter of weeks[[footnote]]Converted to human measurements.[[/footnote]]. I do not believe we can stop it. All we can do is build the other device, which we can do in time with your nation's resources.

**PC:** How will we explain to the public?

**PT:** I do not believe we should. All that would cause is panic, which will not change our fate. If we do not tell them, they can at least live the last of their lives in peace. Just say a random disaster befell Secondhome.

**PC:** ..alright. I will speak to you again once I have reviewed the schematics.

//[PC logs off]//

**PT:** If only this could have ended differently. Alas, it seems the ending to this tale was written long ago.

//[Two individuals are engaged in conversation in what appears to be a cafeteria. Their species resembles velvet worms with the upper body raised off the ground and a pair of grasping limbs. Their uniforms identify them as members of the Artefact Keepers, this world's equivalent to the Foundation. The Artefact Keepers mostly referred to their members by codenames.]//

**Red:** But it just feels like everything we've done is pointless if the whole world's just going to be destroyed anyway. What's the point in keeping Artefacts secured if we all die anyway?

**Snow:** I know the feeling. My sister's eggs are due to hatch any day now, I want to be excited for her but it's hard given... everything. How am I supposed to be excited for children who won't live to see their first hatchday? And I can't even talk to her about it, operational security and all that. At least it gives me something to fight for, whatever good that does us.

//[Another person walks into frame and sits next to Snow. The others turn to look at them.]//

**Red:** So, what did you want to show us, Moon?

**Moon:** I'm glad you asked! You don't know how many favors I had to call in to get this!

//[Moon pulls a large stone out of their clothing. The other two stare at it for a moment.]//

**Snow:** Nice rock, but what does this have to do with anything?

**Moon:** It's Artefact-297!

**Red:** I'm not familiar with that one.

**Moon:** Basically, it can grant a wish once a year. And the one-year mark from when it was last used is coming up right...

//[Artefact-297 begins to glow.]//

**Moon:** Now.

**Red:** I think I understand what you're getting at.

**Snow:** But if this thing has the potential to save us, why haven't the Council of Seven[[footnote]]Equivalent to the O5 Council.[[/footnote]] mentioned it?

**Moon:** Officially, because it's "too dangerous if a wish is phrased incorrectly". Considering doing nothing is certain death, I suspect that isn't the real reason.

**Red:** That is strange...

**Snow:** Moon, if you start going on about your conspiracy theories again...

**Moon:** Well, my personal theory is that they're using it to grant themselves immortality-

**Snow:** Which does them no good if they get wiped out anyway.

**Moon:** I never said I'd figured the whole mystery out. Anyway, let's do this!

//[Moon holds Artefact-297 up.]//

**Moon:** Artefact! I wish to stop the cycle!

//[Artefact-297 stops glowing. There is no other visible effect.]//

**Moon:** I think it worked?

//[Through the window, somebody riding a small, pedal-powered vehicle can be seen. The vehicle abruptly stops and the rider is flung off. On seeing this, Moon throws the Artefact onto the floor and begins kicking it.]//

The final part of the broadcast contains instructions for creating two anomalous machines. The first is a device capable of sending messages regardless of differences in the laws of physics, with instructions to use it to pass on the message with the addition of anything tried by the current civilization to ensure their survival. The other is capable of detecting instances of vacuum decay instantly, regardless of distance from the device.

**Addendum:** On 2/11/2026, the O5 Council granted permission to build the devices described in SCP-9779 , designated SCP-9779-Alpha and SCP-9779-Beta respectively. Construction was completed on 17/12/2026 and SCP-9779-Beta was activated for the first time on 19/12/2026. A decay event was detected approximately one lightyear from Earth.

++++ NOTICE FROM THE O5 COUNCIL
SCP-9779-Beta has revealed an existential risk to humanity's continued existence in the form of the false vacuum decay event detected on 19/12/2026. Any Foundation staff with suggestions on how to counter this event are encouraged to come forward.

RE: Proposed solution to decay event
Date: 6/2/2027

Greetings.
I believe I may have discovered a way to stop the decay event. If we surround the bubble with dark energy[[footnote]]A substance that causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate. As no matter is actually moved during this process, the expansion can be faster than the speed of light.[[/footnote]], space will expand faster than the bubble can spread and effectively trap it.

In order to accomplish this, I will need access to SCP-████ to produce and store the dark energy. I will also need SCP-9779-Beta's schematics. I can have a research team can reverse engineer its ability to interact with distant objects in order to make a device that can deliver the dark energy.

Regards,
Dr. Chambers

[BEGIN RECORDING]

//[Chambers sets up the camera. His computer monitor can be seen behind him, turned off.]//

**Chambers:** //[Sighs]// Uh.. first of December, 2027. So, the O5s have called a meeting on Chelone for tomorrow. What am I even going to say to them? They're going to hate me...

//[The computer monitor turns itself on. Chambers does not notice.]//

**Chambers:** Either I let humanity die as so many others have, or I bring up the backup plan... but is that even better? Maybe it's just a choice between a quick death and a drawn-out one... why couldn't I have just found a nice clean solut-

**Unknown:** Stop beating yourself up.

**Chambers:** W-who's there?!

//[Chambers turns around, revealing an image of Moon on the monitor.]//

**Moon:** We wouldn't be in this situation in the first place if I had phrased my wish better. I still have nightmares about Snow's niblings and all the other children who never got to grow up because I screwed up. But we aren't going to change anything by thinking about what could have been, are we?

**Chambers:** Y-you're the guy from the log! Moon, or...

**Moon:** Moon's fine. You wouldn't be able to pronounce my real name anyway. At least you know what a moon is, the last guys didn't have one so they ended up calling me Rock. I mean, I like my rocks, but-

**Chambers:** How are you speaking English? How are you even here?!

**Moon:** Just before we were wiped out, I got my hands on another Artefact, I don't remember the number, that let me upload my mind into the broadcast... SCP-9779 you called it, right?

**Chambers:** Correct.

**Moon:** From there, I was able to get into your computer network. While I was poking around in there, I found your translation software and that's how we're speaking right now. I also found your "Internet". We had nothing like that on our world. Although given some of the... stuff on there, that might have been for the best. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I found something interesting on there.

**Chambers:** Which is?

**Moon:** The "perfect solution" fallacy. Rejecting a solution because it is imperfect, even if it's better than doing nothing. I had a look at your backup plan, if you'll forgive my snooping, and it doesn't seem that bad in the grand scheme of things. It's certainly less risky than the Foundation's current backup plan.

**Chambers:** But is it really better? Eventually we'd use up all our resources and then-

**Moon:** You don't know that. Maybe something will be invented in the future to take care of that. I mean, think about it, you've already got infinite power at your disposal if you just set up a waterwheel and stick that statue on top-

**Chambers:** We are //not// presenting that to the O5s.

**Moon:** ...moving on, let's say you're right and humanity eventually gives in to infighting. Are you to blame for sapient nature?

**Chambers:** Well, considering resource conflicts are something that predates my birth I logically cannot be. But still, wouldn't the backup plan just be delaying the inevit-

**Moon:** I personally think it's worth it if even a few more generations get to live. Look, I've been around for a few cycles, and you're the one closest to a working solution. Well, at least a working solution that doesn't rely on wish-granting artefacts or anomalies, but considering most of yours seem to be actively malicious- sorry, I'm getting off track. You have a plan with the potential to save your species, and who knows how many future ones. Do you really want to throw all that away because of what //might// happen?

**Chambers:** I suppose not.

**Moon:** At least your superiors aren't actively hiding your best option. Well, at least that we know of, but I'll save my theories for later. You should go ahead and present your backup plan. Even if they do hate you for it, does it matter? Either they do it and you're responsible for saving humanity, at least for a while, or they don't in which case the end result is the same as if you said nothing.

**Chambers:** ...you're not wrong. I'm still not too sure about any of this, but you're right. I don't really have anything to lose by presenting it.

//[Chambers signs off and Moon waves at the camera.]//

**O5-1:** I'm not going to mince words, Doctor. Project Chelone has stalled and we have no time to fix it. I can only hope this backup plan you mentioned is better than a 73% chance of wiping out the human race.
 
**Chambers:** It has some... side effects but none that risk the destruction of the planet.
 
**O5-3:** What exactly do you mean by that?
 
**Chambers:** Well, you see-
 
**O5-6:** Spit it out already!
 
**O5-3:** Calm down, 6.
 
 **O5-6:** Forgive me if I'm a bit on edge staring down the end of the world.
 
**O5-3:** Everyone is stressed, understandably so given we are so close to a potential CK-Class-
 
**O5-6:** Well, maybe we wouldn't be this close if everyone would stop beating around the bush-
 
**O5-1:** Let the doctor speak!
 
**Chambers:** Without "beating around the bush", so to speak, if we cannot prevent the decay event from reaching the rest of the universe, we can prevent the rest of the universe from reaching us.
 
**O5-3:** Go on.

**Chambers:** While the primary objective of Project Chelone is no longer possible, we still have a large supply of dark energy already produced.

**O5-6:** Get to the point.

**Chambers:** The point is that while isolating the decay event from the wider universe is no longer possible, isolating ourselves from the wider universe is easily doable with the dark energy already at our disposal.
 
//[There is a pause of several seconds]//
 
**O5-1:** So we survive, but with the side effect of never being able to leave our solar system or interact with the outside universe ever again.
 
**Chambers:** Essentially, yes.
 
**O5-6:** ...well, I suppose it //is// better than being destroyed.
 
**O5-3:** I suppose. It's not like we have a whole lot in the way of better options. You can go now, Doctor.
 
**<End Log>**
 
**Closing Statement:** On 3/12/2027, Dr. Chambers' proposal was put to vote by the O5 Council. The measure was passed unanimously. SCP-9779-Alpha was then used to pass on SCP-9779 as instructed. Moon requested a copy of themself be uploaded to the broadcast before it was sent, claiming they wanted to "give pep talks to any future scientists who need it". This was permitted as they have been cooperative with Foundation interests.

By 12/12/2027, the delivery of dark energy around the solar system was complete. Shortly after, civilians began noticing stars disappearing from the sky as their light could no longer pass the expanding space between them and Earth. The Foundation's additions to the message can be viewed below.

= **Foundation additions to SCP-9779-Alpha**
We believe we have discovered a solution to this threat. We have included the schematics of the devices used at the end of this message. We used one to produce dark energy to hasten the expansion of the universe and the other to deliver it. Our intended goal was to isolate the bubble that threatened us from the wider universe, but we could not produce sufficient dark energy in time. Instead, we isolated ourselves, preventing the bubble from reaching us but at the cost of forever cutting ourselves off from the rest of the universe. Whatever gods you may believe in willing, you may have better luck than we did. Godspeed.
