A multiversal degradation in anomalous phenomena ravages the world of magic, leaving its fantastical hidden lands and communities to gradually die out; the Foundation, its allies and foes, are made painfully aware that something must change. Explore the Impasse and the nuanced relationship between the Foundation, the anomalous, and the nature of change itself. Examine the world at stake and decide, ultimately, how to bring it hope.
No Return is the canon that follows on the heels of SCP-6500: Inevitable, but you already knew that right? This canon is concerned with consequences first and foremost; when we were writing SCP-6500 it became clear that whichever timeline the reader chose, the concept of the Foundation was going to be irrevocably changed. Which is fitting, as Inevitable is a pretty stark climate change allegory. We wanted to create a setting in which would foster further stories, leading off from either timeline.
SCP-6000 Contest Entry: Inevitable
- SCP-6500: Inevitable - In Collab with locke, HarryBlank, Aethris, Placeholder McD, Darkstuff, and ihp
It is conceivable that no amount of corrective action will permanently arrest the SCP-6500 effect, which was allowed to worsen despite many decades of persistent warning signs. The task we set ourselves may be impossible.
A brand new Nobody tale that follows on the heels of SCP-6500: Inevitable. Magic died, then came back again, but for this Nobody everything was inherently different and it was time to find out why.
Following off Nobody Like's a Sneak, this tale focuses on the efforts to rescue O5-Zero from the Foundation after finding out the O5s knew they caused the Impasse… but then, Nobody has to find where Zero is being held first.
The Impasse is not reversed. The dead will not come back. The relics taken by the Jailers are being used to blunt the damage. We will see some return to the old powers, yes. But how long before it happens again? The Jailers might have changed ever so slightly. They may have freed some of their prisoners that posed the least threat to their Veil. But containment – slavery – is still their status quo. If it caused the Impasse once before, then it will surely do so again.
Vanguard is ready to announce it's presence to the world and they send Dr. Dan to do it.
Black Queen dealing with an overzealous splinter cell of the Serpent's Hand during the transition between SH and Vanguard, just after Vanguard became public knowledge.
Karl Lange has always believed in the mission of the Serpent's Hand, he just doesn't believe in Alison Chao anymore, not since she became a traitor and joined the Foundation (or whatever they want to call themselves now)
Following the Vanguard ending of SCP-6500, Alto Clef and Karcist Varis star in this buddy cop tale about taking on the Russian Sarkic Mob.
Following Clef and Varis' wrapping up in Moscow, Varis thinks its high time someone addresses the various Neo-Sarkic groups and see if they can't be brought into the fold of Vanguard. Additionally, the conflict between the GOC and Vanguard forces begin to heat up.
Following off A Sarkic By Any Other Name, Varis is running around the world on a PR campaign to educate the public about the Nälkän faith and his people. Through some discussion with other leaders of the community, he and Clef decide to go to SCP-2191 in search of his second Klavigar, the ex-Daeva and lover of Grand Karcist Ion, Lovataar.
Directly after the events of An Assembly of Sarkics, Clef and Varis visit the site of SCP-3989 with Orok and Lucretia Popescu, so as to determine what if any connection it has with the Klavigar, and to find out even more about the wandering trail of an imposter Grand Karcist Ion through the centuries.
Directly after the events of An Assembly of Sarkics, Lovataar and Saarn decide to pay a visit to SCP-4036 on a diplomatic mission. They face distrust from the locals and from each other, but ultimately face a far graver threat: Colonialism.
As SCP-939 is normalized, Vanguard and the GOC battle in the court of public opinion. A story from the civilian perspective, focusing on media attention of the two organizations.
A series of vignettes showing the every day public's reactions to the reveal of Vanguard and the ever changing world, seen through the eyes of several different individuals. World building galore!
It's not up to God to decide what happens to His creation.
Styled after the wikipedia page with a similar title, this humorous article is written with the idea that after the fall of the Veil, some wikipedia editors got together to add a bunch of misconceptions in this new anomalous world. Try not to take it too seriously!
This series follows Dr. Iona Varga, MD/PhD, a geneticist and xenobiologist, and Agent Rebekah Douglas, a researcher and psychic with psychometry (being able to "read" an object or person for its history). Dr. Varga is foremost a cynic, you'll notice during these articles that she does not truly believe gods exist. Magic and gods are simply things we haven't understood yet. It starts with finding a unique body in Yorkshire:
Chapter I
"I grow concerned with the others of our Society. Our Brethren must understand the grand scale of our Endeavor. Any cost that comes forthwith will be well earned, whether in pecuniary losses or in our very Blood."
There’s no more space here, crowded, suffocating. Needs more. Needs it.
…there’s a hole in us
….it …it wants to fill t-the gap, and eat
"What could the Creator have been thinking when He shaped that strange flesh? Where must it have come from?"
"People with guns are so quick to threaten violence, as if you invented it."
“I’m not a researcher, Iona. I’m an Israeli girl who found out she was psychic. I’m glad I’ve found a career here, but it’s been a really shit year.”
"What we have is a hostile force from outside our solar system with a significantly protracted history of interfering with human development."
"If you insist, I will kill you all. Is that what you want?"
- End Chapter I -
Site-91
Chapter II
Their Many Hands guide us in this life. We honor their creation with our blood and bodies. We are their many hands, shaping society in their image.
"There’s something over there, and it touched me. I need to talk to the one source of info available to me."
"You killed these children, as surely as if you pointed a gun at their heads. The youth is the lifeblood of the revolution, didn’t you know that?"
"I’ve executed men before, Egytian. You don’t have the look."
- Tale VI - Never Fight a Land War in the Peloponnese
"They have never fought such as me."
"What is any creature trying to obtain? Freedom. Freedom from powers that would oppress you or your people. I am no different."
The following file represents our understanding of a very unclear picture of events due to disparate sources and incomplete accounts making up the bulk of this administrative record. No matter how this conflict resolves, it will be on all of us to shield normalcy from the fallout.
Chapter III:
“Her body isn’t interred here, of course. Her family buried her remains in Tehran yesterday. But I thought it was appropriate to lay some reminder of her presence on the property. This was her home. We were her family, too, after all.”
- Tale IX - An SCP Masquerading as a Tale
- In which we take a look back at Director Varga's frustration in designating an anomaly -
Iona Varga stared at her monitor. What even was this anomaly? The next step in the research evaded her. Was this anomaly enough to separate out from those it was derived from? Should this not be an addendum to SCP-4612? The biological modification of a person into a walking universal remote for magic, it was important. She knew this. It was another piece in the puzzle she had been working on since finding the dead thing in the crypt, not fifty meters below her office.
- Tale X - The Ends Justify the Means of Production
“You never struck me as delusional, Rebekah. Just ridiculously intense.”
On 14 September, 1993, surveillance of one such property in an industrial district of Rome revealed the scene of a ritual murder – three men and one woman were eviscerated, and their organs laid out among symbols that matched records of Daevic thaumaturgy. The symbols and organs were centered around an empty space theorized to have held something of ritual importance, but the ritual had occurred several days before.
SCP-6520-A was an extradimensional space located outside baseline temporal reality which intersected with the northeastern portion of Târgoviște… The interior of SCP-6520-A contained more space than the dimensions of the anomaly would allow and housed numerous stone structures theorized to be a temple complex. These structures were built with stone block and simple mortar, the most recent of which were carbon dated to +/- 300 years prior to the present. The structures showed significant degradation inconsistently across the complex – some of the buildings appeared to be freshly constructed, while others were in ruins.
Given the nature of the message written above the door in SCP-6520-B and the architectural style of those structures, it is theorized that SCP-6520-A represented a timeline in which the fall of the Daevite Empire never occurred.
SCP-7812 is colossal extrocorporeal infestation in an adjacent reality forming a metaphysical abscess bleeding through a punctum into this reality’s noösphere. The breach point of SCP-7812 is centered around the area of the noösphere provisionally classified as the famis occulta.

SCP-5681-1: Oh look, no one’s dead yet.
Individuals directly affected by SCP-5698, those folded into a local reality re-write and who perform as employees of the anomaly, have residual pervasive effects upon their personality. For example, individuals universally have more aggressive tones in their interactions with others and exhibit rough, even unprofessional language no matter what their background. Although they only retain partial, incomplete memories of their time as employees at SCP-5698, the experience often has a protracted effect on the subject’s priorities.
The presenter of this session is a quadrupedal entity resembling a moose with stark gray fur from the neck down. Instead of a typical head, the entity has three screens on articulated arms that continually flash through various images. The presenter’s voice is an 87.89% match to that of deceased TV host Regis Philbin. The entity does not provide a name
Furthermore, the secondary anomalous effects began impacting societal function throughout the United States and Canada. Subjects that had viewed the anomaly were incapable of accepting any premise or fact without tangible proof. This affected the very machinery of society in many ways, most notably the following:
* Employees stopped appearing for work without physical reassurance of payment by employers;
* Legislators affected refused to agree on any aspect of proposed legislation without tangible proof of the benefits, causing turmoil between affected and nonaffected individuals;
* Members of the police force affected refused to enforce laws without tangible proof that those laws protected the citizenry.
- SCP-6301 - Funky Finn's Children Happy Hour
The anomaly has hypnotic and compulsive qualities, but only for a targeted demographic - when the record is played, individuals who are under twelve years old will pay rapt attention and will not respond to other external stimuli, even including pain. Any children listening to the recording contained on SCP-63011 will enter a state of catatonia if play of SCP-6301 is interrupted. Unless the record is played to completion, a subject in such a state will not regain conscious awareness.

SCP-5486 is the designation for a non-corporeal, extra-dimensional entity that feeds off notoriety. The anomaly will “possess” one individual at a time – often subjects that are on the brink of, or already the focus of, public scrutiny and/or growing infamy within their given society.
Foundation records note that Müller had witnessed an anomalous event when she was nineteen years old and was administered amnestics, along with her whole family. Two years later there is another notation stating that she needed a second administration of amnestics due to reemergent memories.

DeptCon 2022 Entry: Department of Procurement and Liquidation
The Foundation finds itself in a position where buying anomalies is sometimes the most efficient form of containment, so the Department of Procurement and Liquidation is established in 1979. Our series focuses on the development of the department in the five decades since it was first begun, with articles set in 1979, 1989, 1999, 2009, and 2019. With a Site Dossier (hub) and a bonus article by Ihp.
The Department of Procurement and Liquidation is focused on containment through economic action, starting out as hunting down cursed objects for sale but then evolving along the way as the economy changes from decade to decade. Anything you can buy, could be contained. And anomalies are just as often focused on making money as they are being anomalous.

Re: Proposal concerning SCP-6237
In respect to the cascading rising costs of containment and the failure of infiltrations of SCP-6237-B, the Department of Procurement and Liquidation proposes the following action. SCP-6237-B is a publicly traded company; despite its anomalous aspects, it is as susceptible to economic strategies as are otherwise similar companies. Therefore:
Details of the Proposal:
- The Department of Procurement and Liquidation will orchestrate a multi-tiered hostile takeover of ERS LLC shareholders, utilizing numerous shell companies, until controlling more than 51% of the shares;
- Such action will allow the Department to control the Board of Directors and thus, the activities of SCP-6237-B.
Benefits:
- Containment can shift from the disinformation campaign and its extensive costs – both in resources and personnel hours – to the modification of SCP-6237-B’s activities, to better serve the Veil;
- With control of SCP-6237-B’s Board of Directors, the Foundation will have access to extensive ritual information and research which would benefit the containment efforts of unrelated anomalies connected to thaumaturgy and the occult.
Anomalous effects of SCP-6530 infection show the following signs:
- Subjects immediately exhibit reliance on online shopping, eschewing visiting stores in person, even when more convenient for personal necessity or when online prices are higher
- Subjects exhibit conviction that fees connected with online shopping are more convenient than personal expenses attached to visiting stores in person, even when such costs are cumulatively less than delivery fees
- Subjects regularly purchase large quantities of items even when in excess of subject’s need for said item
- Subjects consistently try to convince others that online shopping is more efficient and cost-effective, even when the facts are in contradiction
- Subjects routinely spend leisure time scanning the reviews of items in online marketplaces and services
- Subjects exhibit reliance on ordering food through delivery services, even when subject has experience preparing their own food and have excessive supplies of foodstuffs from their online orders

- Part Six(a): A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Manor - Half the team heads to Northern England to retrieve a weapon that might work against the Unclean, but get more than they bargained for.
- Part Six(b): Old Friends, Old Sins - The other half of the team, along with Dan and Light, go hunt down the last surviving member of the 093-E exploration logs and have some serious heart-to-hearts, but with thinly veiled threats of violence.
