= [[span class="titled"]]INTRUSION LOG 9923-1:[[/span]] Across the Threshold

-----

**LOCALITY:** Nx-9923 imbrication zone.

**CERTAINTY RATING:** 89%

**RATIONAL ALIGNMENT:** 1 = 2

**PORTRAITURE:** In the Bordergarden of Reckless Abandon, there are many low miracles and mild infoallergens. Bald marble heads the size of tables extrude from the ground at strange angles. Something with a body like a globe shuffles about the ceiling, occasionally dribbling quasi-slime from its Panama Canal. Limbless shadows shift and strut across the walls. A [[span class="text-glow"]]distant melody[[/span]] wheedles along the edge of hearing.

----

||~ «BEGIN DIA-LOG» ||

//<Agent Quatrain uploads to the imbrication zone through the primary point of ingress ([[[scp-6445 | ⌘]]]). It surveys the scene, shielding its eyes with its hand as if looking across a great distance.>//

**Quatrain:** [[span class="ego"]]What a drab and unmemorable locale! Certainly one for the Foundation's scrapbooks, wouldn't you say?[[/span]]

**SiteCommand 1:** Reminder that official Foundation communication channels may not be used for off-topic chatter.

**Quatrain:** [[span class="superego"]]Numerous apologies for the breach of protocol. Permission to kill myself?[[/span]]

**SiteCommand A:** Negative. Determining a path to MEDIATOR is currently of the utmost priority.

**Quatrain:** [[span class="superego"]]Understood.[[/span]] [[span class="id"]]Now, portal or port hole... where would I be?[[/span]]

//<Officer Quatrain slowly circumnavigates the imbrication zone, prodding at anything within reach with the toe of its boot. It comes into view of a surface like a horizontal pond, if ponds were primarily made out of barbed wire and snapped rosaries.>// 

**Quatrain:** [[span class="ego"]]Oh, my! Who’s this dashing fellow?[[/span]]

//<There is a figure stranding in the surface of the not-pond. It is pale, gangling dangerously, and dressed in an eggshell blue hospital gown, feet bare. Violet wires dart in and out of its skin like vipers. Its face is obscured by papier-mâché wings and an oversized mailbag is slung over one shoulder.>//

**SiteCommand 1:** That’s you. It’s your reflection.

**Quatrain:** [[span class="id"]]That’s me? Could it be that my monopoly of self is at an end?[[/span]] [[span class="superego"]]I don’t know if I’m ready for that kind of business relationship...[[/span]]

**SiteCommand A:** Only you are you. Reflections are illusions; deceptions of visual wavelengths and pattern recognition. It’s not real.

**Quatrain:** [[span class="id"]]Deceptions...[[/span]]

//<Counselor Quatrain rests its hand on the knotpond’s surface, marveling as rosaries trickle over and around its fingers. Its mirror image does the same, expressionless.>//

**SiteCommand 1:** //<Muffled.>// Are you sure this is a good idea? It didn’t even recognize its own reflection.

**SiteCommand A:** //<Muffled.>// We don’t want any precognitions clouding it. It’s an unavoidable hazard.

**SiteCommand 1:** //<Muffled.>// And that’s what the Underwatch Council wants? I //like// clouds. How else would we have acid rain?

**SiteCommand A:** //<Muffled.>// I hear you, but they were fairly clear about this -- insofar as they are clear about anything. I could show you the vibro-stenographies if you’d like?

**SiteCommand 1:** //<Muffled.>// No, no, it’s fine. I should leave the left-braining to you. //<Unmuffled.>// Keep searching, Inquisitor Quatrain. The entrance proper to Nx-9923 must be somewhere nearby.

**Quatrain:** [[span class="superego"]]Yes, sir. Sirs.[[/span]]

//<Investigator Quatrain extricates its hand from the knotpond -- when it does, the reflection turns and melts away. Investigating, it makes its way to the largest of the marble heads.>//

**Quatrain:** [[span class="id"]]Hmmmmmm.[[/span]]

//<Specialist Quatrain plucks out the head's left eye and licks it.>//

**Quatrain:** [[span class="ego"]]Silicon.[[/span]]

//<It licks the marble eye twice more.>//

**Quatrain:** [[span class="ego"]]Copper. Gold.[[/span]]

//<It licks the eye again.>//

**Quatrain:** [[span class="id"]]And is that...?[[/span]]

//<It licks the eye.>//

**Quatrain:** [[span class="id"]]Yes, fluoride glass![[/span]] [[span class="ego"]]This must be the place.[[/span]]

**SiteCommand 1:** Excellent work.

**SiteCommand A:** Be advised that we’ll be cutting contact once you’re in. You’ll be on your own from here on out.

**Quatrain:**   [[span class="ego"]]Understood. Thank you for everything, sirs.[[/span]] [[span class="superego"]]I won’t let you down.[[/span]]

**SiteCommand 1:** Loading cryptocatalyst. Preparing for deliverance.

**SiteCommand A:** Delivering data package now. Good luck.

**PORTRAITURE:** The whirling giantesque of the Neosphere. It blooms from the meshscape like wooden tumor, sails and turbines in profusion. At random intervals, a dulcineaic steam engine erupts from some arboreal pustule, face beatific, screaming towards the horizon on too many hooves. A cloud of boiling Shakespeares seethes overhead. And below, the Qracle of VASH RATTA DROOL[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]][[span class="titled"]]VASH RATTA DROOL:[[/span]] High-grade imaginary salad dressing.[[/span]] squats on this narratovascular juncture like a leech.

**WATC_HDOG:** What the fuck are you doing? Stop that.

**Quatrain:** [[span class="ego"]]I'm here to speak to the Qracle. I need to--[[/span]]

**WATC_HDOG:** I'm sure you are. Name?

**Quatrain:** [[span class="superego"]]Private Quatrain.[[/span]]

**WATC_HDOG:** Hmf. They'll be glad to see another Q, if nothing else. With me.

//<The WATC_HDOG leads the way through a narrow series of hallways and dollways, ticking symmetrically the whole time. They reach the Qracle's chambers; it is resting inside of a semitranslucent quantum egg.>//

**Qracle:** QUORUM. Greetings and welcome. QUERY. I presume you come bearing a question?

**Quatrain:** [[span class="superego"]]Y-yes, your majesty.[[/span]] [[span class="ego"]]I'm in need of directions -- do you by any chance know where MEDIATOR is?[[/span]] [[span class="id"]]They're a person, or perhaps a place, or an idea.[[/span]] [[span class="ego"]]I have a message to deliver.[[/span]]

**Qracle:** QUORUM. This request is within my means. QUORUM. However, a price must first be invoked: knowledge for knowledge. QUORUM. To receive my aid, you must first solve a simple logic puzzle. QUERY. Do you consent to this trial?

**Quatrain:** [[span class="superego"]]I would if I could![[/span]]

**Qracle:** QUERY. If a train leaves New York heading towards Chicago at 5 AM and a plane leaves Beijing towards Seoul at 1:30 PM. If a man walks on two legs in the afternoon and ten at night. If there's something under the water. If I have nine apples and you have thirteen clocks. If there's something under the skin. If there's something under the floor. If there is no end. If death is a mirror. If there is, or is not, or never was at all. Who will arrive first? Solve for "why."

**Quatrain:** [[span class="id"]]That's a real wrinkler...[[/span]] [[span class="superego"]]Can I give any kind of answer?[[/span]]

**Qracle:** QUORUM. Only so long as it is [[span class="text-glow"]]true[[/span]].

**Quatrain:** [[span class="ego"]]Define "truth." Is it something I can hold?[[/span]] [[span class="id"]]What does it look like?[[/span]]

**Qracle:** QUORUM. It is a state of being.

**Quatrain:** [[span class="ego"]]And who rules this state, hm?[[/span]] [[span class="superego"]]What laws govern it?[[/span]] [[span class="id"]]Do they sell airplane tickets there, or should I take a boat?[[/span]]

**WATC_HDOG:** Alright, you've wasted enough of the Qracle's processing time with these inane questions. Answer the trial or forfeit.

**Quatrain:** [[span class="superego"]]Many apologies. Should I kill myself?[[/span]]

**WATC_HDOG:** Sure, if you want. Just do it after the--

//<Detective Quatrain itches the sutures lining the base of its scalp, pondering.>//

**Quatrain:** [[span class="ego"]]The first principle in this conundrum is nobody can hear you scream. Phone cords curdle the world dry. Agress. Egress. Regress.

Any object that can leap the angstrom gap is correct.[[/span]] [[span class="id"]]What could the answer be but love?[[/span]]

**Qracle:** QUORUM. Well reasoned. QUORUM. As promised, I shall now calculate MEDIATOR's current location.

//<The Qracle's eyes glow with PRNG. Distantly, the sound of a million Shakespeares banging away at typewriters is audible. Cylindrical knowledge extrudes from the Qracle's torso.>//

**Quatrain:** [[span class="id"]]Wow, TP! To think I'd ever be allowed to hold one of these![[/span]] [[span class="superego"]]Am I qualified to handle such an artifact? Do I need to be certified?[[/span]]

Remains of personality drivers later recovered by the Department of Surrealistics and refashioned into raincoats.

**ATTEMPT, THE SECOND:** [[[scp-2272 | Oneiric Task Force Neptune-11 ("Pensacola Blue Wahoos")]]] dream themselves into Nx-9923. They are unable to adapt to the nexus's constantly shifting rational alignment, resulting in repeated fragmentation and defragmentation of their ideological cores. OTF Neptune-11 is successfully extracted by the [[[http://scp-int.wikidot.com/foundation-collective-hub | Foundation Collective]]], but prolonged contact with Nx-9923 causes the dreaming groupmind to develop a severe conceptual allergy to all things SCP-9923, significantly hampering noöspheric containment efforts.

**ATTEMPT, THE THIRD:** MTF Zeta-9923 (“One-Eyed Corps”) is created. It is composed of licensed Foundation surrealists that have been fitted with brain implants that allow salvador.aic to adjust their neurochemistry and notional configurations procedurally as they encounter nonstandard stimuli.

[[span class="titled"]]SURREALISTIC CURTAILMENT PRINCIPLES:[[/span]] MEDIATOR's empty containment cell is to be swept twice a day. Its prurient magazines are to be incinerated in [[[scp-6643 | Area-21]]]'s automatic smut disposal unit. In the event that MEDIATOR fully digitizes, personnel are encouraged to kiss their sorry derrières goodbye. Project COUNTERMEDIATION is presently undergoing its final stages.

Before continuing onward, readers must consume, digest, and internalize each section of the description below -- //in sequence// -- or I swear to god I will turn this car around.

----

[[tabview]]
[[tab I]]

[[span class="titled"]]DESCRIPTION:[[/span]] MEDIATOR is an eigen-brand taffy puller designed for the enholement and maintenance of [[[scp-1549 | Class-B "Information Superhighway" Wormholes]]] connecting certain private servers and higher planes, as part of ongoing efforts to cover WAN's bus fare. Shortly following its initial activation, all major GoI-004 servers and webrings worldwide received large bundles of cognitohazardous data; less than 25 hours later, the first known gatherings of GoI-004E were observed to take place.

Anomalous activity associated with GoI-004E includes:

* Proliferation of “chain email curses.”
* Creation of viable spacecraft using spare parts, loose bricks, stray dogs, etc.
* Analog-to-digital haruspicy.
* Dissolution of regional semiospheres.
* Star chart estrangement.

[[/tab]]
[[tab II]]

[[span class="titled"]]DESCRIPTION:[[/span]] MEDIATOR is a parasite primarily composed of fused human fingers. It is 2.5 meters long, smells gently of lilac, and is constantly producing an ontohazardous wireless signal. In the event that this signal bumps into a synthetic intelligence in the hallway, the latter will immediately become a real boy. Host servers are typically rendered inoperable by resultant organic growths. All known real boys have been excised and provided the latest obscene periodicals.

Surrounding matter has been transfigured into noetic swiss cheese, suspending the decomposition process and increasing computing speed by a significantly arbitrary percentage. Department director credentials have been trashed.[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]]Not to be confused with Cpt. Director D. Credentials, who lives in Site-⌘'s omnidirectional dormitories and not the trash.[[/span]]

As HOST BETA cannot be relocated [[span class="blur"]]from Site-41[[/span]] without risking significant structural harm, a [[[scp-7579 | Faraday-Exclusion Field]]] has been built [[span class="blur"]]surrounding sublevel 30.[[/span]]

[[/tab]]
[[tab III]]

[[span class="titled"]]DESCRIPTION:[[/span]] MEDIATOR is a continuous cosmogtological process responsible for the slow-motion car crash of noöspheric[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]][[span class="titled"]]NOÖSPHERE:[[/span]] The sum of all human thought.[[/span]] and cyberspheric[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]][[span class="titled"]]CYBERSPHERE:[[/span]] The sum of all electronically-stored data.[[/span]] territories, otherwise known as the Neosphere, otherwise known as Nx-9923, otherwise known as the MEDIUM. It is presently believed to be responsible for every slow-loading webpage you've never seen, the [[[scp-5470 | Y2K bug]]], and the decimation of all dedicated "computer rooms" in the continental United States.

Should MEDIATOR be allowed to continue unabated, HOST BETA will eventually obtain enough imaginary mass to collapse into a supermassive Class-B Wormhole and slurp up the solar system like spaghettios on rice.

[[/tab]]
[[tab IV]]

[[span class="titled"]]DESCRIPTION:[[/span]] MEDIATOR was a completely ordinary box of matches. In the event that a match is lit, it will burn and produce smoke. And you know how smoke works, don't you? You should understand smoke better than anyone. 

It'll do what it does best: rise. It'll rise over data centers and churches. Over clouds and high-altitude weather balloons. It'll rise high enough to tickle the sky, then higher still. Once it's drifted beyond the sight of even our most powerful radio telescopes and gamma binoculars, the smoke may just touch something. And it may taste something. And it may bring something back.

**PORTRAITURE:** As the dribbling sun creeps across the undernoon sky, something terrible is on the cusp of becoming born. The signs are there for any with the ears to hear. It is in the psychic geometry of the crowd, the heaving swelter of their churn. An index pushing through a throat without breaking skin. It is in the holes, the null zones where datum and dream slips through. Forgetting moves and grooves as fast as a racehorn, remember? And it is in you,[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]][[span class="titled"]]YOU:[[/span]] Yes, you.[[/span]] as well. The house called city blisters towards its breaking point.

[[div class="blockquote subport"]]

**SUBPORTRAITURE:** Listen. If you are quiet, really quiet. If you crawl into some unfamiliar corner or coronary artery. If you open your ears so wide that they become eyes. You might be able to hear it, just behind the seashell of your heartbeat. Like wind skimming the edge of a ragged wound. A hollow sound. A shout. A bad idea.

A global ⌘K-Class "End of Reason" Scenario is currently in progress. For the duration of this crisis, all ETTRA directives are to be introduced to the nearest waste receptacle. Members of the Overwatch Council are to be drawn and quinted in the town square. False idols are to be devoured. Loved ones and colleagues are to be contaminated. Secret hate words are to be tucked into bed.

[[span class="titled"]]SOLIPSISTIC CURTAILMENT PREDONISHMENTS:[[/span]] As SCP-005 [[[scp-6276 | does not exist]]], containment is both unnecessary and unpossible, so don't even try.

MEDIATOR (HOST ALPHA) is to be enshrined in Holy Site Five, which also [[[scp-4182 | does not exist]]]. {{[DATA EXPUNGED]}} (HOST BETA) is to go wherever she likes. TESSERACT PRIME (HOST GAMMA) is to crash at its friend's beach house until it figures some things out.

All traces of {{[DATA PURGED]}} are to be extinguished with extreme prejudice, including this sentence. It is no longer safe to turn off your computer.

[[span class="titled"]]DESCRIPTION:[[/span]] SCP-005 is a highly aggressive metastasized did you know there’s a girl who swallowed a star? It’s true! There is an empty space in the universe where God once lived. A logical gap in the idea of divinity. An idiot mouth, chewing away at that fifth wall. There is nothing and there is nothing and there is //nothing//, understand? Absence has shades, it has hues. The stars cast strange shadows, my friend, and as the nights turn to days and days turn to doornobs, they strange even further. They strange and they strange and we don’t //see// any of it until we wake up one day and [[[scp-8900-ex | all the colors are put in wrong.]]] Am I missing something? Check under your nails, something might be hiding 'neath that keratin door. Am I fucking missing something? No, I must be missing something, because I don’t see anything when I close my eyes, understand? I see //nothing//. Not nothing like dark, we’re talking black on black on black on white on black. Shades of not. Hiroshima shadows cast by {{[DATA PURGED]}}, raw and refulgent and all-reducing. Burned everything away until only the memory of a memory was left. A pattern burned into the fabric of lack. A parasite voice. A worm through time.

Nothing else can be done.
