Reminds me a bit of the South Park episode where Butters fakes his death and his parents bury his "corpse" in an "Indian graveyard." When Butters comes home, perfectly healthy, his parents assume the graveyard worked but now their son is demonic.
Not sure why that came to mind, honestly.
Original concept, pretty solid. However, why is it keter?
Thanks! As for it being Keter:
It self-replicates, it's expanding, the Foundation doesn't know how to stop it (the coffins just keep appearing in the ground), and — based on the file names of the autopsies — it's spawned over 900 grave-sites in two to three years.
Still seems a bit more on the Euclid side to me, the graves seems to only pop up in that one cemetery so as long as they keep up on exhuming them, it should remain contained. They don't have to stop them from spawning, just from spawning outside the containment area.
so as long as they keep up on exhuming them
The key phrase here. It requires regular maintenance of a rather inconvenient variety, and it won't stop.
On a secondary factor, the -B instances also seem to be slowly becoming less human and increasingly adept at trying to dig their way to the surface. What happens when they actually succeed is a question that the Foundation probably does not want to know the answer to.
Just noticed: logs 129 and 526 reference a Judith Blair and a Julia Blair. Are these meant to be the same person?
Otherwise, pretty great. +1
Situation normal, Cap'n! Spiraling out of control!
Reminds me of the Prime Ministerial Pet Cemetery in some aspects, but aside from that the idea of a Swiss Army Corpse trying to desperately make its way to the surface for an unknown, sinister-sounding purpose very much appeals to me.
Oh man, this encompasses nearly everything that I enjoy reading in a scip. The concept is unique, the writing flows smoothly, the logs are unnerving, and the final note adds a flavour of tragedy without detracting from the horror.
+1!
Honestly, I was just "Meh" throughout the piece. But
… oh god this strongly reminds of SCP-349, and in a very good way. Yeah, they're kind of really similar, especially about that "expanding cemetery" idea, but those X-ray images really add to the immersion. So, +1.

I love the idea of the ever-expanding graveyard, and the bodies slowly becoming less human and more adept at surviving underground (albinism was a nice hint by the way) was pretty cool.
One criticism though, while obviously a lot of time and research was put into the autopsy logs, the actual description of the scip seems a little lackluster, and a few details could've been added to make it seem more realistic (what kind of material are the tombstones made of? The coffins? Do they emerge from the ground whole or build up as they go?)
+1 anyways though, love the creativity
Hi, I think this is a very creative story and it has the right creepy factor where every iteration comes back more monstrous and less human. That reminds me a bit of the Xenomorph from Alien.
I have a question though. If we know there could be 3 new instances of graves per day, and the minimum depth is only 1 meter, why haven't we tried to dig up a fresh one? Someone should monitor the site and the moment a new one appears, get a huge Caterpillar backhoe and dig that up. Chances are good it may not have suffocated yet and a live specimen may be obtained. This could potentially halt the expansion of the cemetery, once it has successfully "come back."
I agree with this comment. Why haven't they dug one up before she dies is the first thought I had while reading the article. It really needs to explain either why they haven't tried or why they haven't succeeded.
One of the creepier things I've read since the 3000 contest.
