For our international readers: content warnings and a message
From all of us involved in the "Manhattan Crisis" series, this is message and an apology to international readers, especially those who are American.
These works involve the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. I am certain that some of our overseas readers were victims not only of this incident, but of terrorism in general. If there is a risk of you suffering mental or physical distress from reading these works, we ask that you do not proceed further.
The real attacks caused the deaths of 2,977 people of many diverse cultures, including 24 of our own Japanese citizens, and uncountable injuries. As both authors and neighbors, we must continually remind ourselves that 9/11 is as sensitive to you in the US as Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Fukushima are to us in Japan.
The authors wish to use this opportunity to provide our deepest condolences in light of this page. We wish to provide our deepest condolences to the terrorist attacks' victims and our sympathies to affected families. And from then to now, we give our heartfelt gratitude and respect to all heroes worldwide who are hard at work combating terrorism.
Last but certainly not least, by using 9/11 as our subject matter, we are using the "Manhattan Crisis" as "the origin of reconciling between the mundane public and paranormal communities" in 1998's alternate history. We hope that this work will further the SCP community's cultural exchanges.

Item #: SCP-2910-JP | Level 3/2910-JP |
Object Class: Keter | Classified |

Dimensional erosion spreading to the surrounding area from the city of Manhattan, which was temporarily pulled into an anomalous dimension. Photographed on September 12, 2001.
Special Containment Procedures
SCP-2910-JP instances are to be contained in a specialized chamber designed to house Type Green entities at Site-310. The containment unit is equipped with three Scranton Reality Anchors and six Lang Siphons, which are to be replaced at regular intervals. Instances are to be fed 1/4 portion of a standard adult humanoid diet three times per day. Instances are prohibited from leaving their containment unit.
Should an uncontained instance of SCP-2910-JP be found in a location accessible from baseline reality, the anti-reality alteration instance unit assigned to the Site is to be immediately utilized for capture. Attempts should be made to secure it alive if possible, otherwise the instance is to be terminated remotely.
Based on guidelines established in Article 125 of the Hudson River Accord, which denotes the rights and duties that mild Type Blues and pseudo-Type Blues, who do not possess the ability to express EVE in the form of physical entities, wormholes, or other specified forms, have in mass society. As a result, the former SCP-2910-JP-A group was excluded from special containment procedures as of October 31, 2001. The wording in this report has been revised to no longer include the name "SCP-2910-JP-A."
Description

SCP-2910-JP-1, the only instance of SCP-2910-JP within Foundation containment.
SCP-2910-JP are anomalous entities with an appearance similar to various small mammals of the order Carnivora, possessing strong individual differences across each instance. Additionally, the tissue structure does not match that of any living organism existing in nature, and tissue fragments taken from instances quickly disintegrate into ash.
At present, there is only one instance of SCP-2910-JP in Foundation custody. The instance is 32cm long and 1.7kg in weight, with silvery-white fur and blue eyes. To date, the Foundation has recorded the existence of at least 28 different instances of SCP-2910-JP, some of which appear to be alive and uncontained, but are inaccessible from baseline reality. Their current locations are unknown.
SCP-2910-JP possess intelligence equivalent to that of an adult human, with each individual possessing a distinct personality. Instances are capable of speaking through unknown bodily processes, and always utilize language that is understandable to the intelligent listener. It also appears that instances are able to communicate remotely through currently unknown means.
The main manifestation of SCP-2910-JP's anomalous properties occurs in human females. If communication is attempted between an instance of SCP-2910-JP and a female subject, and an agreement is reached between them to comply with certain unknown criteria, the subject1 gains limited thaumatological properties, resulting in a condition known as Pseudo-Type Blue. This subject is capable of manifesting EVE through thaumatically appropriate methods utilizing ontoglyphs/kinetoglyphs, or other informal ritual tools.2 However, there have been no confirmed cases in which a subject manifested such a high-concentration of EVE that requires some kind of substance as a catalyst, and the thaumaturgy that can be used is at a level that can be achieved only by psychological modulation, such as intangible rays, heat, etc. It is assumed that this is limited to things that take the form of propulsion, etc. The backlash upon manifestation is assumed to be taken care of by the accompanying SCP-2910-JP instance, and it appears to be offset to a scale that is unrecognizable from the outside through the reality modification exercised by the instance. No means have been discovered for the subject to escape from its influence, other than through their own death. Furthermore, if the female targeted by the instance is a natural Type Blue, the results of the modifications the instance makes to the target will manifest as an increase in the EVE capacity that can be exercised.

A broom produced by SCP-2910-JP.
SCP-2910-JP instances possess reality-altering abilities similar to humanoid entities classified as Type Greens. As observed to date, instances have spontaneously produced brooms, black robes, and wands that can be used as ritual tools. In addition, SCP-2910-JP instances apply visual and auditory concealment effects to both themselves and the corresponding Pseudo-Type Blue, as well as a protective film that blocks thermal energy and mechanical energy below a certain level. It appears possible to perform the deployment of these abilities separately. The potential limits of SCP-2910-JP's reality-altering abilities are unknown, and no additional experiments are permitted at this time. Instances of SCP-2910-JP are generally devoted to the Pseudo-Type Blue instances they have signed agreements with, and will save or attempt to save them from critical situations, even if they themselves suffer fatal damage. Multiple examples have been identified.
Addendum.2910-JP.1 > 9/11 incident Video Recording Log

Manhattan, 2001/09/14.
On September 11, 2001, GoI-003(“Chaos Insurgency”) led an attack during the Manhattan Dimensional Collapse Terrorist Incident, which resulted in the island being temporarily transported to another dimension. This led to the discovery of SCP-2910-JP within the island of Manhattan. The following is a video record of the operation to retake Manhattan conducted by joint forces of the Foundation and Global Occult Coalition and supporting organizations including the Horizon Initiative on September 14-15, 20013 where the clear involvement of various SCP-2910-JP instances has been confirmed. It should be noted that there is a high possibility that there were instances of SCP-2910-JP at the scene of the incident that were not recorded in these videos.
For convenience, the three instances that consistently interacted with Foundation personnel in the video recordings are designated as SCP-2910-JP-1 to SCP-2910-JP-3, respectively. The name each instance calls itself, the woman targeted by the anomaly, and its current status are shown in the table below.
Number | Name | Target | Current Status |
---|---|---|---|
SCP-2910-JP-1 | “Query” | Rita Huxley (Citizen living in Brooklyn) | Instance is alive and well in captivity. Target has been released. |
SCP-2910-JP-2 | “Riddle” | Sybil Leyland (“Army of Divine Revelation”4Agent). | The instance is believed to have expired during the incident on September 15, 2001. Target is alive and well. |
SCP-2910-JP-3 | “Hexa” | ("PoI-4056 ”) | Both the instance and subject are missing. |

[Playback starts on 2001/09/14 20:37 ]
[The Ο-16 and Ζ-23 units have completed their entry into Manhattan Island from Backdoor Soho. The sky above the city, including Soho, is covered with dark red clouds and exposed to heavy ash fall.]
Ο16-Alpha: Equipment checks for all members have been completed. Holy water repository check, 97% remaining.
Ο16-Delta: No problems found with the dust masks and anchors.
Ζ23-Alpha: We have also completed checking on all our members. The wear and tear on equipment from trans-dimensional travel remains within the expected range.
Pauseman: Okay. The 1st Corps, including N-7, which is the core of the Manhattan rescue team, is advancing toward the World Trade Center (WTC) in the southwest. Our 2nd unit, Zeta-23, is in charge of suppressing the terrorists in the center of the island.
Ο16-Beta: The smell of sulfur is the same as when we inspected the area on the first day of the attack… It's suffocating. There must still be a lot of demons here.
House: Yes. As we have confirmed, your primary job as Ο-16 is to protect the unevacuated population from the demonic entities summoned by the Insurgency.
Ζ23-Beta: I hope that's all you need. Try raising your head a little.
[Camera looks up. A milky-white, bipedal energy entity (UE5-1109-B6) can be seen striding about. The instance's head resembles a cow's skull and it faces away from the camera.]
House: Wow, now that's something that looks more capable of fighting than the average demon. I had heard about it, but seeing it like this gives it a different meaning.
Pauseman: Don't be so cavalier, House. Those terrorists are bringing all kinds of abnormal beings into Manhattan. The advance units have already taken down hostile forces around the dimensional contact point with heavy casualties, but from there onwards there are still incomprehensible beings roaming about.
Ζ23-Alpha: We must protect our people from all of that. I always tell all my team members, always check the surrounding situation and do not hesitate to strike first against entities that may take hostile action.
Ο16-Beta: Oh, what is that? There's something behind the giant entity.
[Ο16-Beta points to the rear of UE-1109-B. Three Pseudo-Type Blue wearing black clothes are flying behind UE-1109-B. They appear to be straddling an unknown object, with no visually obvious power source]
Ο16-Gamma: Is that…a witch? They look classically witchy. They're riding brooms in the 21st century.
Pauseman: Can you estimate the risk?
Ο16-Beta: Currently, they appear to be watching the movement of energy entities. Depending on our relationship with them, there is a good chance that they will become hostile to us.
Pauseman: Well then, its settled. As part of our mission, we will track two types of anomalies. Considering the target's size and maneuverability in the air, if we leave them alone, there is a high possibility that they will eventually attack the WTC. We don't want to put any unnecessary stress on N-7.
House: Okay, Pauseman. For the time being, the witches' destination seems to overlap with our own. Let's follow their movements while continuing to exterminate demons.
Ζ23-Alpha: Understood. Z-23 and Ο-16, let's continue through Greenwich Village.
Ο16-Zeta: Don't overtake me! There's a bright red darkness just a little ahead!
[UE-1109-B continues to move north through Greenwich Village with the Pseudo-Type Blues and others.]

[Playback starts on 21:12 on 2001/09/14]
[Ο-16 and Ζ-23 units are heading north on Broadway in Greenwich Village. UE-1109-B is stationary near Union Square, with many phantasmal entities surrounding it.]
House: You know, when it comes to dealing with demons, its better than Vegas. There's far less alcohol and prostitutes here. There might be more money though.
Pauseman: Maybe we should have taken a closer look at the equipment we prepared. Was there really a need to rush the Hoover Dam guys?
[Multiple bloodstains are left at the feet of both advancing units.]
Ζ23-Epsilon: It seems like the intensity of the battle between the advance troops is visible… They're even more vicious than the demons. We cannot let their sacrifice be in vain.
Ο16-Delta: It was fortunate that all the bodies were recovered. If you leave one in an area with heavy ash fall like this, you never know what it will turn into.
Ο16-Gamma: Stop! Someone came out an alley ahead.
[A girl (Rita Huxley) is seen walking unsteadily from a side alley about 50 meters in front of the task force.]
Huxley: Is anyone there? I—
[Huxley's muttering is interrupted by a cough. Some of her clothes are frayed.]
House: Is she an evacuee?
Ο16-Epsilon: It's dangerous here! If you come out now—
Huxley: [screams]
[A sphere of light about 50 cm in diameter rushes towards Huxley from across the road and above the remains of an abandoned barricade , sending the subject into a back alley. Three gunshots are recorded almost simultaneously.]
House: Shit! Are we under attack?
Pauseman: All of you, head to the scene!
[Two bullet holes can be seen on the sidewalk where Huxley was standing.]
Ο16-Beta: Looks like she was shot. There's probably an Insurgency ambush waiting for us in the buildings around here.
Ζ23-Delta: I have to check the situation in the back alley—
[An unknown muffled voice is recorded from the back alley.]
Unknown voice: From now on, I will take care of you. I'll protect you, Rita.
[A strong light suddenly appears from the back alley.]
Ζ23-Delta: What?! I can't see anything!
[After the strong light emission converges, Ζ23-Delta checks the back alley again.]
Ο16-Gamma: What happened? Is she okay?
Ζ23-Delta: I don't know. All I see is a ball of light. I can also definitely hear a voice.
[The sphere of light rises about 5 meters above the alley and dims its brightness. When the light disappears, Huxley, who has become Pseudo-Type Blue, is present. She wears a black robe over frayed clothing, holds a wand with a simple design, and appears to be levitating by generating propulsive force from the broom which she is straddling. SCP-2910-JP-1 is on the subject's shoulder. The instance resembles a fennec fox in appearance and is covered in silvery white fur.]
Ζ23-Beta: Is this how those witches were made?
[SCP-2910-JP-1 speaks to Huxley.]
SCP-2910-JP-1: The culprit is in that empty window.
Huxley: Thank you.
[Huxley flies at a speed of about 12km/h and charges into an open window in a building across the street. When the instance waves its wand, a gust of wind appears to arise. The barrel of a rifle sticking out of the window is shown blowing into the room.]
House: She's certainly acting like a witch.
Ζ23-Gamma: I couldn't clearly see what was inside the window. It's fine if it's revenge against terrorists, but what do you plan to do if the target is an ordinary citizen?
Pauseman: Oh! Have there been more potential adversaries? It would be inconvenient if that thing merged with a giant energy entity.
Ο16-Beta: What do we do? Do you want to continue north? Or grab that witch?
House: Hmm, the demon is relatively calm, so I think we can split up here. O-16 and I will head towards the child. Pauseman, go with Z-23 and the others towards the monster. How's that sound?
Ζ23-Epsilon: Wait, isn't it dangerous to just randomly divide your forces in the same place where a bloody battle took place a few hours ago?
Ο16-Gamma: We should prioritize protecting the refugees. Even with the new anomaly, she was clearly quite hurt. We shouldn't lose her.
Pauseman: It seems impossible for both units to chase both rabbits. Let's go with House's idea. …I'm worried, so I'll tell you in advance, don't put your trust in the anomaly. If you judge it to be a hindrance to your mission, shoot it immediately.
House: Yeah, I knew you'd definitely say that. Of course, I will protect it.
Ζ23-Alpha: Alright, we'll continue tracking the giant entity. Ο-16 pursues the newborn witch.
Ο16-Alpha: Understood! Contact us immediately if necessary.
[Ο-16 separates from Ζ-23 and changes course to the west in pursuit of Huxley, who flies off towards Chelsea.]

[Ζ-23 moves north through the rubble-covered Union Square and reaches a position approximately 100m from UE-1109-B.]
Ζ23-Alpha: Successfully approached the large entity. As of a few moments ago, it has been repeatedly attacking the air with both arms.
Ζ23-Beta: It's probably attacking an airborne target, but its too small for us to see from down here.
[A large amount of Cack Ash is temporarily emitted from the tip of the arm that UE-1109-B is swinging. It is assumed that some kind of target was destroyed.]
Ζ23-Delta: What about the damage on the ground?
Pauseman: Fortunately, it seems uncaring about its movements so far— Hey, something's coming!
[Multiple Pseudo-Type Blues descend from the air towards Ζ-23]
Pauseman: They're coming! Get ready to intercept them!
[Z-23 opens fire at the Pseudo-Type Blues, but the target's movement speed is not reduced. A live bullet explodes approximately 2m away from an instance. At this time, UE-1109-B appears to have sensed the commotion on the ground.]
Ζ23-Epsilon: They can't be stopped! They'll be landing soon!
[Ζ-23 stops firing. One of the Pseudo-Type Blues (Sibyl Leyland) descends to the ground and advances towards Pauseman. SCP-2910-JP-2, which is accompanied by the subject, is similar in appearance to a domestic cat and has green fur.]
Pauseman: Hey, stop, or we'll shoot!
Leyland: Sorry for the sudden intrusion. Are you part of the Manhattan relief team?
Ζ23-Alpha: Could you identify yourself first?
Leyland: Pardon me. I am Sybil Leyland, from the Army of Divine Revelation. And this little one is Riddle.
SCP-2910-JP-2: Hello. I don't like it when people suddenly point a gun at someone they don't even know.
Pauseman: Hmph, even though you're small, you're complaining a lot. Is the “Army of Divine Revelation” part of the Initiative? Why are you joining the ranks of these witches? Do you have a desire to be burned at the stake?
Leyland: That's if we even live to stand trial. We're a suicide squad, we don't care if we make it back alive.
Pauseman: Sorry, but we don't have time for lengthy negotiations with anomalies right now. Now leave us alone, we've got a job to do.
Leyland: I'm looking for people to help protect other witches from demons. Many of them are young children. I'm trying to protect them with Riddle, but we don't have enough of us, and we just lost another one. I'm spread pretty thin.
Pauseman: Oh well, you will at least have to take responsibility for being noticed by this monster. Now, get out of my way.
[UE-1109-B crouches down and glares at Z-23. Zeta-23 confronts UE-1109-B and assumes a fighting stance.]
Leyland: I'm sorry if I offended you. We should get going.
SCP-2910-JP-2: Don't push yourself too hard, Sybil. Your life is the most important thing.
[Leyland flies upward and returns to the Pseudo-Type Blue swarm in the air. Immediately after, UE-1109-B's right arm, which glows red, is raised towards the instances. They disperse and fly away.]
Ζ23-Epsilon: Do we have any weapons that might be effective against this thing?
Ζ23-Alpha: Let's fire the Metcalf and see what happens! Prepare to fire immediately!
[Z-23 fires a Metcalf incorporeal reflection force field projectile at UE-1109-B. UE-1109-B, who was about to swing its arm down on Z-23, flinches, but is not restrained from taking further action.]
Z23-Beta: I don't think they are so weak that they will disappear with just this. Can we use non-corporeal high energy bullets?
Ζ23-Alpha: It's dangerous. Since there is no directionality, the city will be burnt to the ground.
[The reassembled Pseudo-Type Blue swarm attempts a flamethrower attack on UE-1109-B, who is trying to recover. The thermal energy appears to be generated by thaumaturgy.]
Leyland: As the guardian of the children, I will do everything in my power to avenge them!
[UE-1109-B's head begins to dissolve, and the instance's movement speed is significantly reduced.]
Pauseman: Hmph, I don't like fights between anomalies. A scene like this is always synonymous with the worst case scenario. Of course it had to happen on this island. Damn it.
[UE-1109-B disintegrates and turns into white smoke. The smoke moves away from Ζ-23, and reconstitutes itself about 300m away.]
Ζ23-Alpha: Although it is possible to temporarily incapacitate it, it moves fast. It seems like it will come back soon. If we let it spread out, we won't be able to secure air superiority over Manhattan. We need to find an effective suppression method.
[The Pseudo-Type Blue swarm flies towards Chelsea. A milky-white energy entity of unknown length (designated as UE-1109-C) can be seen slowly rising from the area where they are headed.]
Ζ23-Gamma: New monsters keep popping up.
Pauseman: O-16 is to the west. I'll leave them to their own devices and go after the monster first.
Ζ23-Delta: It's heading towards the Empire State Building! There's no way the Insurgency won't have it all to themselves. Hey, the crimson darkness is still getting darker!
[Ζ-23 follows UE-1109-B down Broadway and heads toward the Empire State Building.]

[Ο-16 advances westward with House in the lead, repelling the demonic entities in Chelsea City. There are various images scrawled on the walls of the houses, though they appear to just be backgrounds.]
Ο16-Epsilon: A skilled anartist used to live around here. It's much quieter than the hellish area in the center of the island.
Ο16-Gamma: Hopefully they haven't sacrificed their lives to protect the people.
House: I can't catch up at all, she's flying too fast. I can't fucking breathe.
[Huxley is flying about 50 meters ahead of House and Ο-16, and appears to be indiscriminately attacking the open windows of surrounding buildings.]
Ο16-Beta: Can she really tell the difference between guerrilla soldiers and civilians?
Ο16-Delta: No matter what happens, only corpses will remain. Whether they die at the hands of a witch or were already dead for some time, it doesn't matter.
Ο16-Alpha: That's possible. The Insurgency would not devote its live personnel resources to such chores as live-fire sniping.
House: You're still a young kid, a real murderer is too— oops! That's another witch!
[A Pseudo-Type Blue appears briefly on camera flying away from left to right 30 meters in front of Ο-16. Immediately after, a Ultra-Heavy Engagement Chassis chases the subject across the camera's field of view.]
Ο16-Beta: They're coming all the way to Manhattan and they're still hunting mooks here?
Ο16-Zeta: Is that one of the remnants of the Strike Team who were killed by the big guys around noon? If you have time to vent your frustrations, please let me know.7
[The Ultra-Heavy Engagement Chassis fires a light bullet at the Pseudo-Type Blue. The subject is shot down and falls approximately 100 meters away from O-16]
House: Jesus. Although she wasn't as young as that girl, she still looked young.
Ο16-Alpha: I've heard the Coalition sent a small number of orange suits into this operation, but I don't want them to deal with the targets first. Let's strengthen our tracking of instances moving forward.
Ο16-Beta: We shouldn't waste time. There are less than 12 hours left until the GOC cease rescuing the survivors of the attack and carry out Pizzicato to prevent further expansion of the dimensional anomaly.
House: Does that mean that if one of our units fails, us, that girl, and the island itself will all be blown away? That's terrifying. By the way, there's something I'm curious about in regard to these witches.
Ο16-Gamma: What is it?
House: So, I get the impression, from the few witches I've seen so far, that all of them are pretty unaccustomed to flying. Providing propulsive energy with EVE may be a little too difficult for people who don't have Type Blue qualities.
Ο16-Alpha: So, are these examples just improvised Pseudo-Type Blues?
House: Probably. And if that's the case, I think we have to protect them first. It's too dangerous to let them fly around like that.
Ο16-Zeta: In the end, it's just an extension of securing the object, right? It's business as usual for us. …If only this was a place where we didn't have to bring out the Coalition's big robots.
[Milk-white smoke descends in front of Huxley. As the smoke hits the ground, it transforms violently into UE-1109-C, which resembles a cephalopod. The instance deploys energy tentacles.]
Ο16-Beta: There's a huge monster here too! Are they all over Manhattan?
[Huxley screams and suddenly turns around, taking an unstable trajectory and gaining altitude to escape from UE-1109-C. UE-1109-C's tentacles first attack the super heavy war shell that was circling near Ο-16. The target explodes instantly, spewing out a large amount of ash]
Ο16-Alpha: Shit! It's dangerous to fight that thing with our equipment. Let's get out of here!
[UE-1109-C begins chasing Ο-16 and Huxley at low speed.]
Ο16-Epsilon: It's surprisingly slow! But we've certainly been made. We can't move too quickly!
[To the left of Ο-16, a group of Pseudo-Type Blues can be seen flying in from the northeast. The first one is Leyland.]
Leyland: Rita! Don't wander around! Over here!
Huxley: Ms. Leyland! Everyone else too! Thank you for coming, I thought I was in trouble.
SCP-2910-JP-2: I exterminated something similar to it earlier, so I'll tell you that flame is effective against it. Can you do that? I've taught you well.
[SCP-2910-JP-1 stretches.]
Ο16-Alpha: Should we run away? Should we protect them?
House: Even if each individual is weak, a large group will last some time. I feel a little guilty, but if we don't ensure our own safety, we can't protect what we're meant to protect.
Ο16-Alpha: You're right, House, let's leave here for now.
[The Pseudo-Type Blue swarm all look to the north.]
House: Good, it looks like they still have reinforcements.
[A new Pseudo-Type Blue comes flying in from the line of sight. The instance appears to have significantly more stable flight than other instances]
Leyland: Alison! Can we ask for help? I think it would be better for everyone to stay safe if we all grouped up.
[The individual known as Alison (PoI-4056) appears to raise a wand and transfer thaumaturgic energy to all of the assembled Pseudo-Type Blues. When the video is enlarged, it can be confirmed that the transferor's energy is generated from SCP-2910-JP-3, which is sitting on the shoulder of the subject. The instance has a mixed white and purple coat and is generally similar in appearance to a ferret, but with large earflaps and red eyes.]
PoI-4056: Thanks, guys. We're in this together from here on out. Right, Hexa?
[SCP-2910-JP-3 shows no significant reaction. The Pseudo-Type Blue swarm, with PoI-4056 in the lead, begins a group attack towards the stopped UE-1109-C. Compared to the previous observation, many of the targets are flying in significantly more stable patterns.]
Ο16-Beta: The person in the lead… I feel like we met somewhere a long time ago?
Ο16-Delta: Is there something you want to tell us?
Ο16-Beta: Oh…if I'm not mistaken, I saw her at the visitor's reception area at Site-17 5 or 6 years ago. I don't know whose kid she was… nor why she is here now.
[Ο-16 retreats to Union Square.]

Record 2001/09/15 - 911372
Foundation Records Unit Logged by Helicopter 1
[09/15 03:57] Helicopter 1 is recording the southern part of Manhattan Island from above Rockefeller Center. The Empire State Building can be seen in the foreground, and the Twin Towers can be seen in the background. An unidentified organic structure (designated as UE-1111) with a thread-like appearance can be observed entwined at the top of 1 WTC.
[04:01] UE-1109-C turns into smoke and charges towards the Empire State Building from the right side of the screen (western part of the island). Other UE-1109 instances8 are circling around the building in an amorphous state. 23 Pseudo-Type Blues are confirmed to be tracking UE-1109-C. When the video is enlarged, it can be confirmed that all are accompanied by their respective SCP-2910-JP instance.
[04:07] Smoke from UE-1109 instances gathers above the building and they begin to merge with each other. Red clouds in the sky provide red energy similar to lightning strikes, and additional opalescent smoke from the upper floors of the building feeds into the instances.
[04:12] The smoke instantly dissipates, and a gigantic energy entity (designated UE-1109-Σ) appears, estimated to be over 350m long. The instance combines the physical characteristics of all previously confirmed UE-1109 instances.
[04:14] UE-1109-Σ begins to take action. It focuses black colored energy between the two horns of its head, attracting the Pseudo-Type Blue swarm flying around the instance. The subjects move away from the instance in a controlled, curved trajectory.
[04:16] UE-1109-Σ's third and fourth right arms extend towards the Pseudo-Type Blue swarm, who disperse. The arm makes contact with three of the subjects, immediately disintegrating them.
[04:19] The Pseudo-Type Blues remain spread out and fly around UE-1109-Σ. It targets one of the subjects and fires red light projectiles from its tentacles. The projectiles miss their original target and shoots down Foundation Recording Helicopter Unit 6, which becomes a large amount of Cack Ash.
[04:21] Most of the Pseudo-Type Blues lower their altitude and enter the gap between the buildings, making them invisible to the first helicopter. The lower part of the UE-1109-Σ's torso turns into a thin line of smoke, which spreads to fill the gaps between the buildings.9
[04:24] The Pseudo-Type Blue swarm continues to disperse while maintaining a low altitude. One of the subjects is briefly seen surfacing approximately 170 meters from the Empire State Building. The subject in question is then engulfed by the rising smoke of UE-1109-Σ and disappears.
[04:28] The Pseudo-Type Blue swarms that have surfaced individually from various parts of the skyscraper maintain high altitude and begin gathering once more. The number of subjects visible in the footage has been reduced to 11. UE-1109-Σ rolls up its smoky body.
[04:30] The image around the WTC becomes distorted. It appears that a new dimensional anomaly has started occurring at the southern tip of Manhattan Island.10 The battle between UE-1109-Σ and the Pseudo-Type Blue swarm continues.
[04:33] The Pseudo-Type Blue swarm regroups at a distance from UE-1109-Σ and approaches the first helicopter. The thaumaturgical energy emitted by a group of Pseudo-Type Blues led by PoI-4056 converges in the air.
[04:34] A blue ray is emitted from the converged EVE mass and hits UE-1109-Σ directly. Instance becomes frightened and begins to retreat toward Union Square to flee the beam. The Pseudo-Type Blues maintain the EVE mass and move forward.
[04:36] PoI-4056, who was at the front of the group, suddenly begins moving at a speed exceeding its previous maximum speed and charges into the abdomen of the UE-1109-Σ instance. When the video is enlarged, the subject appears to have fallen from the broom and is propelled by some other unknown power source. Two other Pseudo-Type Blues follow. The EVE mass disappears and the light beam stops.
[04:37] UE-1109-Σ begins repositioning itself. PoI-4056 penetrates its abdomen, and two other Pseudo-Type Blue pursue it, bypassing the instance to the left and right. WTC is no longer observable except for part of the 1st Tower (including UE-1111) visible near the center of the screen.
[04:40] UE-1109-Σ, which changed direction to face of the three Pseudo-Type Blues that had moved away to an unseeable distance, recognizes the presence of the dimensional anomaly, transforms into a smoky form, and rushes toward 1 WTC.
[04:41] The completed dimensional anomaly prevents UE-1109-Σ from entering 1 WTC, and the repelled instance rematerializes over Tribeca. It becomes visibly upset. The whereabouts of the three Pseudo-Type Blues are unknown.
[04:42] The UE-1109-Σ instance becomes incorporeal again and returns to the Empire State Building. The eight surviving members of the Pseudo-Type Blue swarm are gathering in a formation with Leyland in the lead, but Huxley, who is at the tail end, is gradually moving away from the group.
[04:46] A light projectile fired by UE-1109-Σ impacts against the first helicopter. A cloud of ashes is visible for a split second, and the image is immediately cut off.

[Ο-16 has begun contacting the evacuees around Union Square.]
Ο16-Epsilon: Reality collapses have calmed down, so that's good. With what we have left, even a free fire is not going to be able to contain it all.
Ο16-Beta: Well, there were some parahumans from the Lamia family among the survivors in the Grandmacy area. Should they be in the same evacuation center as the general public?
House: For now. Please ask your support team to transport them to Backdoor Soho.
Ο16-Alpha: Hurry. If you don't, that monster will come flying down all over you again.
[Ο-16 is watching the actions of UE-1109-Σ in the sky as it begins moving north of the Empire State Building.]
House: Act while we're far enough away — STOP! What is that?
[House points to the northeast sky. A dull-colored sphere with a diameter of about 2 meters follows an unstable trajectory and falls toward Ο-16]
Ο16-Delta: An unknown flying object is approaching! Captain, prepare for interception immediately!
House: No— wait. Something seems strange. Maybe she's a witch.
[Ο-16 members stand by with their guns pointed. The dull-colored sphere approaches 3 meters above the unit and then stops suddenly. The sphere collapses, and an entity can be seen within.]
Ο16-Zeta: This…was a late night pursuit…
House: As expected. …Rita, it's safe here now. It's okay to come down.
[Huxley appears from the collapsing sphere and falls from her broom, but the impact of her fall is reduced by SCP-2910-JP-1, which had landed earlier]
SCP-2910-JP- 1: Were you the ones who found Rita first?
Ο16-Gamma: Affirmative.
SCP-2910-JP-1: I'm sorry, but could you please carry this child to a safe place? It seems a little tough for me to do alone. I'm out of breath right now.
[Huxley does not respond. She is wheezing, suggesting severe compromise to her airway, but appears conscious.]
Ο16-Epsilon: Good. Prepare an oxygen mask immediately.
House: I would like to ask you something about Rita, so could you please come along?
SCP-2910-JP-1: Ah. Rita is exhausted. I have to see this through to the end.
House: Thank you for your cooperation. Everyone, please observe Type Green equivalent procedure and take appropriate action.
Ο16-Alpha: Understood. We'll secure the anomaly.
[Ο16-Alpha ties a Scranton Reality Anchor to SCP-2910-JP-1]
House: In any case, you all did a great job. Without you, I don't know if we would have been able to evacuate so many people.
SCP-2910-JP-1: Are you saying that to us?
House: That's right. We were only watching from the ground, but it was definitely thanks to you witches that we were able to limit the damage from snipers and monsters in the sky.
SCP-2910-JP-1: Thank you. I'm happy to hear that.
Ο16-Delta: Please refrain from unnecessary conversations with objects, House. We're still on a mission.
House: Haha, sorry.
[Two members of Ο-16 head south to transport SCP-2910-JP-1 and Huxley to Soho]
Ο16-Beta: It's almost sunrise. If only I could see it among these clouds.
House: It is. And should it happen, it will be the last sunrise Manhattan Island will see. Let's keep wishing the first group the best of luck.
[Ο-16 and House look up at the eastern sky. It is covered in crimson clouds and falling ash.]

[Zeta-23 and Pausemann are engaged with parahuman units belonging to GoI-003 in the middle of the Empire State Building.]
Ζ23-Beta: Damn it! There are too many of them! I can't get a decent shot!
Ζ23-Gamma: Shoot down every single one, whether it's a snake woman or one-eyed one! Just finish the mission!
[Z23-Epsilon is grabbed by the chest by a giant humanoid with a single eyeball.]
Z23-Epsilon: Let go!
Ζ23-Delta: I'm going to shoot the eyeball out of this bastard's skull!
[Ζ23-Delta snipes the giant humanoid's eyeball. It throws Ζ23-Epsilon, who breaks through the window glass and falls off the tower.]
Ζ23-Gamma: Shit! You god damn demi-humans, you're not getting away with this!
[A Ζ23-A grenade thrown by Gamma hits a giant humanoid which is about to collapse due to loss of vision, causing it to explode. Fragments of its body tissue blow away the surrounding parahuman troops.]
Ζ23-Delta: Being big sure is useful, isn't it?
Pauseman: Come on, Gamma! You'll be left behind!
[A gaseous entity rides the grenade's explosive force and sneaks behind Ζ23-Gamma, attempting to envelop him.]
Ζ23-Gamma: It's gone—
[The window behind Ζ23-Gamma breaks, and someone rushes into the building from outside. They collide with him, and the gaseous entity is blown away and dispersed.]
Ζ23-Gamma: Ouch!
Pauseman: That was a close call. Oh, and you're the same woman who wanted to be burned at the stake, aren't you?
Leyland: That's enough. I've already been burned today.
[Leyland stands up, her face is smeared with gray soot. SCP-2910-JP-2 is not visible on her person.]
Pauseman: So that little one took your place?
Leyland: Riddle said "you just have to survive'' as he threw me out of the hellfire created by those monsters.
Ζ23-Alpha: That's a shame. Did you get any information on the giant monster?
Leyland: I guess that means I don't have time to mourn for Riddle… Maybe, it looks like it's manifesting as some kind of medium. Even the strongest terrorists can't control a living entity of that size. And its centered in this building. There's got to be something here.
Ζ23-Gamma: This building is full of terrorists, right? You never know what kind of shit is sleeping up there.
Pauseman: Wait a minute—
[Pauseman takes out a communications device.]
Pauseman: …Hmmm…You ignored my advice…Go ahead and do whatever you want. I don't know.
Ζ23-Alpha: Did something happen to House's squad?
[Pauseman puts away the terminal and turns to Leyland.]
Pauseman: It's no big deal…That bastard House seems to have protected one of your friends.
Leyland: Really? All I want is to save as many of those children as possible.
Pauseman: I wouldn't be happy if the number of containment targets increased unnecessarily. Well, the good news is that at least the Foundation still maintains security capabilities on this island from hell.
[Ζ-23 takes Leyland to the upper floors of the building. On the way, the lead, Z23-Alpha, stops. Golden light leaks from the floor ahead, and miscellaneous noises can be heard.]
Ζ23-Alpha: Stop. There's a group of something here… Jesus, what the heck is this?
Leyland: How many times have you prayed to God for this?
Pauseman: Still less than the number of times you prayed to some pagan cat.
[Ζ-23 gathers at the floor entrance and observes the interior. The numerous bloodstains on the floor are brightly illuminated by golden light. An unknown number of various humans and parahumans are assaulting each other by punching, slashing, biting, etc. Despite the severe injuries sustained by each individual, the group shows no signs of stopping.]
Ζ23-Delta: It's so disgusting to see people killing each other without inviting us.
Leyland: "The endless slaughter that continues on top of the towering building in the middle of the island." I think it's definitely some sort of ritual.
Ζ23-Beta: Are we about to be attacked by surprise?
Ζ23-Alpha: There is no sign that the target has sensed us, but their fighting spirit and killing intent are already at full strength. It seems dangerous to jump in recklessly.
Pauseman: If we're fighting for a disgusting ritual, why not target the object at the heart of the ritual? Can you see it?
Ζ23-Delta: I think I can fit in a little more.
[Ζ-23 spots an unknown entity hanging from the ceiling. It appears to be a large golden fruit resembling an apple, emitting milky white smoke that is presumed to be the same as the UE-1109 instances.]
Leyland: Golden Apple…Discordia…Discord, strife, and Chaos. That seems like the way they would do it.
Ζ23-Beta: Then that's the goal. Do you think Leyland's magic works on fruit?
Leyland: If I use it without Riddle, there will be a lot of backlash. I shouldn't risk it.
Pauseman: At this point, there's no need to rely on anomalies. We can do it ourselves.
Ζ23-Alpha: Finish it off with the remaining armor-piercing bullets. Aim well, everyone!
[Ζ-23 fires armor-piercing bullets at the fruit. Four sagittal bullets accurately shoot through the fruit, which falls from the ceiling and collapses, engulfing the two werewolves directly below. With the loss of the light source, the floor is enveloped in darkness.]
Pauseman: Alright, let's go! Don't miss a single one—
[Ζ-23 rushes onto the floor, but all the victims used in the interrupted ritual are already lying on the ground.]
Ζ23-Delta: Oh no. They've long since been wiped out.
Ζ23-Beta: Is that good or bad? You can go inside if you want to see hell.
Leyland: I don't care. It's a sight I've seen countless times before.
[Pauseman and Leyland enter the floor. UE-1109-Σ is visible in severe agony outside the window.]
Pauseman: Looks like your prediction was correct. The skies above Manhattan are ours.
[UE-1109-Σ collapses from the head down. Instance splits again into six UE-1109 instances, which moving away from the building slowly, showing signs of significant damage.]
Leyland: Thank God! Now the rest of the children can escape safely! Everyone did a great job—
Pauseman: We were the ones who caused the decisive damage to the monster. Your contribution was minimal, if not zero.
Ζ23-Beta: Look! The sky is getting clearer!
[The dark red clouds visible from the Empire State Building gradually fade, and the blue sky begins to appear in the east. The concentration of Cack Ashes is decreasing rapidly.]
Ζ23-Alpha: We continue to take control of the building. Victory is near!
[Several Pseudo-Type Blues are seen flying away in all directions across the Manhattan sky as it begins to regain its brightness.11]

[Clef is visible in the upper part of the 1 WTC, leaning against an office window. A storm of ash is raging outside, likely originating from UE-1111 at the top of the tower.]
Clef: You're right, it was my job to eat her cake. However, it remains that it's my gun's job to eat her's.
[Clef coughs and strokes his shotgun. There is a lot of soot on his mouth.]
Ν7-Alpha: If you leave the burns untreated, your life will be at risk. But they'll be up here soon. Please make your decision.
Clef: I know. If I don't do it, who will? [coughs] I just want to get back on track.
Ν7-Alpha: What should we do…?
[The camera shows a figure appearing outside the window. It's floating in the rain of ash, and appears to be having some kind of altercation.]
Unknown Girl: Why aren't you trying to save everyone who fell, Hexa? After you trusted us and followed us all the way here? What do you mean?
Unknown Entity: Our goal is to stop the spillover of dimensional collapse. To do that, we need to heal the man who is there now. That's why I brought you here. Allison, now is the time to show us your magic.
Clef: Oh…? Alison…?
[The content of the conversation suggests that the shadows reflected on the camera are PoI-4056 and SCP-2910-JP-3, but clear close-ups of both cannot be captured.]
PoI-4056: This guy? He looks like he's about to die. He's more important than everyone else?
SCP-2910-JP-3: I know him well. Your father, and his life are still needed to save this world.
PoI-4056: Yeah, for dad…right?
Ν7-Alpha: Wait! What are you planning to do to the captain?
Clef: Don't worry. Unless I went deaf from one of those cupcake bombs, that's my friend's daughter.
[N7-Alpha is ordered to stand down by Clef. PoI-4056 loses altitude slightly and Clef leans out the window. Due to the filming angle, Clef's interactions with PoI-4056 and SCP-2910-JP-3 are only recorded as audio.]
SCP-2910-JP-3: That's fine. Now salvation has been achieved.
Clef: If we didn't meet on such a nightmarish day, I would've grabbed you by the scruff of the neck and dragged you off to Charlie.
PoI-4056: Do you know my dad? Where is he now?
[The ash storm weakens slightly.]
Clef: We don't have much time. But, I'll let you know right now that you're doing good. As long as I'm alive, I'll meet you somewhere.
[PoI-4056 rides a gust of wind away from beneath Clef, gains altitude, and flies away from the tower. Since UE-1111 has stopped producing ash, a faint glimpse of the morning sun can be seen outside the window through the dimensional anomaly. Only the silhouette of PoI-4056 remains in the video recording.]
Ν7-Alpha: What did she do?
Clef: Yeah…well, I don't know. But I'm certainly back. There's at least one princess here who shouldn't have her brains bashed in, and that's reason enough for a job. Now, let's get back to it.

Addendum.2910-JP.2 > Reports regarding Pseudo-Type Blues
Manhattan Island was excised from the anomalous dimension and returned to the baseline reality as of 09/15/2001. With the restoration of communications from the press who had been stranded within, news outlets around the world provided a volume of breaking news that far exceeded the censorship capacity of the Foundation12, including one involving a Pseudo-Type Blue affected by SCP-2910-JP. The following video recordings are part of a program broadcast by CNN International at 13:00 on the same day
Record 2001/09/15 - CNN-INT
Reported by CNN International
[Foreword omitted]
Host: …We continue to provide preliminary damage and survivor information for Manhattan Island. …Well, we have some new additional breaking news to share with you. We have just received a VCR from one of the survivors on Manhattan Island that recorded a video of the evacuation center at about 8:00 a.m. today. I repeat, we have just received a VCR from one of the survivors on Manhattan Island that recorded the scene at the shelter at about 8:00 a.m. today. We will now play you the VTR.
[VCR playback starts]
[00m00s-] A video camera shows a crowd gathered at an outdoor shelter set up in Central Park under a brightening sky. A collection of many gears13 is used as a replacement for shelter pillars. It is noteworthy that no accumulation of Cack Ash was observed in the surrounding area.
[00m23s-] A troll among the people at the shelter is seen being attacked by the people around him. The troll becomes flustered as they try to stop their opponents. Audio shows humans complaining about the amount of real estate trolls take up in the shelter.
[00m38s-] Some of the evacuees look frightened and point into the distance. The video camera points ahead, which shows UE-1109-B heading towards the evacuation center. However, the instances are clearly showing signs of damage and are moving slowly.
[00m52s-] Several other evacuees look up at the sky and point. When the video camera points towards the sky, two Pseudo-Type Blues are seen flying towards the evacuation center from a distance. Both appear to be injured, and are accompanied by SCP-2910-JP instances.
[00m57s-] The two Pseudo-Type Blues glance at UE-1109-B, but ignore it and descend to the evacuation center. A roar of laughter arises from the evacuees.
[01m08s-] The girls appear to have intervened with the human who is assaulting the troll. The human initially complains at them, but gradually accepts their persuasion and stops attacking. The trolls thank them. At this point, UE-1109-B stops.
[01m41s-] The two Pseudo-Type Blues once again step forward in front of the evacuees. The video camera continues to focus on the two.
[02m00s-] The two call themselves "Angelina Pickering'' and "Marietta Mayweather,'' respectively, and make the following appeal to the evacuees:
Pickering: We are both refugees. Like you, we have worked with many beings.
Mayweather: Despite the terrifying circumstances, everyone on Manhattan Island; people, witches, and fairies alike, transcended their differences and came together as one.
Pickering: Earlier, I received cheers saying, "The hero who defeated the monster in the sky has arrived.'' Thank you. However, it wasn't just the power of one or two people, but the support of all the witches, and even more people who tried to protect the island.
Mayweather: Differences in appearance and power don't matter. We realized that if we stick together, we can survive anything. Unity is what will protect us.
Pickering: We are going to share this message with other shelters. Please stay safe and survive for just a little while longer.
[02m57s-] Cheers rise from the evacuees. Many people shout the word "unity", including trolls.
[03m03s-] The video camera records someone saying "If we unite, we can be gods! Reverend Father14 said it too!" This is believed to have been said by a displaced person close to the camera.
[03m08s-] UE-1109-B appears distressed, then turns around and moves away from the shelter. Its movements have become even slower and weaker.
[03m17s-] The two Pseudo-Type Blues leave the shelter and fly into the sky, passing UE-1109-B while receiving cheers.
[VCR playback ends]
Host: That is all from the VCR we received from the field. We are calling on all of you to join us. Let's all unite with the survivors on Manhattan Island and get through this. We are continuing to provide updates on the damage and survivors on Manhattan Island. In other news….
[Omitted]
Addendum: It is estimated that UE-1109-B completely disappeared within one hour of the VCR filming. Both Pickering and Mayweather were taken to an evacuation center in the East Village after the return of Manhattan Island, but at that point they had already separated from their respective SCP-2910-JP instances. The two instances that accompanied them remain uncontained.
As a result of the unchecked spread of this news to the general world, many Type Blue mutual aid organizations and parahuman advocacy groups around the world, including Columbia Coven, issued statements intensifying the civil rights movement under the guise of "Unite the World". The U.S. government complied, urging the Foundation and Coalition to develop partial rights and obligations for parahumans and Type Blues in the Gulf Agreement. Meanwhile, a number of demonic entities that had escaped the influence of UE-1111 surrendered to the Foundation and approached the Foundation's Legal Department with an agreement to provide various labor services for the reconstruction of Manhattan Island. As a result of the combination of the above factors, the Foundation-Coalition policy for the incarceration/purge of Type Blue parahumans under the Hudson River Accords, implemented on 09/20/2001, underwent a major shift in direction.
Addendum.2910-JP.3 > Interview record
The following is an instance of SCP-2910-JP in Foundation containment displaying its anomalous properties. This is a record of an individual interview conducted utilizing a girl on September 19, 2001.
Record 2001/09 /19
Interview Record: SCP-2910-JP-A15
Subject: Rita Huxley
Interviewer: Arnold Nagase (Senior Researcher, Thaumatology Research Division)
Note: At the time of the interview, Huxley was being kept within Site-310's Type Blue containment unit as "SCP-2910-JP-1-A." She was treated for respiratory problems caused by inhalation of Cack Ash and was on the road to recovery.
[Foreword omitted]
Nagase: SCP-2910-JP-1-A, I would like to ask you a few questions. Please answer slowly so that you don't strain your throat. Where were you when the 9/11 incident occurred?
Huxley: I was visiting a friend in Chelsea from Brooklyn. It was terrible— everything was shaking, including the house and the street, and the sky turned red-black. But that was just the beginning. We stayed at her house for a while, but on the second day a demon came to the house and kicked us out.
Nagase: Please continue. What do you remember about the four days before you were rescued?
Huxley: I just ran away. From demons, from zombies, from big birds. I spent some time in Washington Square Park, thinking it would be easier to see dangerous things in bigger spaces. But then I saw a rain of exploding cupcakes fall from the sky. After that, I just ran through the ashes from alley to alley and hid. I still wonder how I was able to move for such a long time without collapsing.
Nagase: I see. So, you were all alone until you met SCP-2910-JP-1, the being named Query.
Huxley: Yes. If I hadn't met Query at that time, I would have been killed.
Nagase: I understand this is very traumatizing for you, my condolences. Next, please tell us more about Query. What power did he give you?
Huxley: I asked Query to help me get out of Manhattan alive. I asked him to protect me. Before I knew it, I had become a witch. It was like Harry Potter.16 I really liked that story.
Nagase: Hmm. Did you know how to use "magic" right away?
Huxley: Query picked an easy explanation and told me how to do it. Fear, sadness, anger, and other emotions are the magic we use. I'm sure Harry and his friends used magic like this too.
Nagase: So you used that magic to go around attacking terrorists hiding in windows?
Huxley: Yes. Query had good eyes and ears, so he could see anything that was hiding behind the windows.
Nagase: Thank you. If so, your aim was always accurate. We checked the scene of the incident, and I would like to tell you that his judgment was certainly correct. So, please tell us about what happened after you met the big white monster.
Huxley: It was so big and scary. In fact, many of my friends were killed by it. They were all around my age, and I think they were just new witches like me.
Nagase: …If you're having a hard time, it's okay to take a break for a while.
Huxley: No, let me tell you a little bit more…strong people like Ms. Leyland and Ms. Chao took the lead and worked together with other friends to fight monsters…but I… I did my best to protect myself. I think Query saved me from danger over and over again. From the time I was flying between buildings to run away from the smoke tentacles of the monster, I was already at my limit and I may not remember it.
Nagase: It was a difficult experience, to be sure. However, I'm really relieved that you arrived safely with us.
Huxley: What about the others? What happened after that?
Nagase: Well, let me tell you that you are a very lucky little girl. However, we can confirm that at least three people, including Leyland, are safe17 and I believe that perhaps a few more of them could have left Manhattan…. For now, let's rejoice that you have come back safely. We will also do our best to support you.
Huxley: What will happen to me after this?
Nagase: …SCP-2910-JP-1-A, please listen carefully to what I am about to say. People who are able to use magic are separated from the world in which ordinary people live. They are incorporated into a society of people like us who live in the dark, and will be forever separated from their families…
Huxley: Oh no…
Nagase: …That was the common sense response among us up until now… Probably not for you.
Huxley: Huh?
Nagase: The world has begun to change dramatically since the incident that occurred in Poland 3 years ago, and this terrorist incident is about to bring about an even greater turning point. The magnitude of the achievements that witches like you have made in suppressing terrorism is highly valued not only by those of us who belong to the paranormal world, but also by the world at large who saw it in person or in the news.
Huxley: Really?
Nagase: That's right. Those who stand above me and act as a bridge between the ordinary and the paranormal, together with people from various races slightly different from humans, redefine magicians like you as "slightly paranormal'' and make them look like ordinary people in general society. We are considering adding it to the framework. One day soon, you will be able to return to your family as a mildly paranormal person. We have mixed feelings, though.
Huxley: Well, I'm very relieved to hear that. Until that day, thank you for your continued support.
Nagase: Of course, Ms. Huxley. We promise to provide our full support for your reintegration into society.

House: Thank you for your help during the incident. Thanks to you, Rita is doing well under our care.
SCP-2910-JP-1: You don't need to thank us. We were called to protect them. We were just doing our job.
House: You were called? By who?
SCP-2910-JP-1: Hexa (SCP-2910-JP-3). He's really rough with people. If I had known, I would not have cooperated with him.
House: I see. Could you tell us a little bit about Hexa?
SCP-2910-JP-1: I understand. He came to our hometown probably four years ago in your means of time-telling. He wasn't like us at first, he looked like you.
House: He was originally human?
SCP-2910-JP-1: I don't know how it happened, but before we knew it, that human was gone, and in his place, someone who looked like us but spoke just like that human that appeared. So I think he probably used some unknown method to us to disguise himself as us.
House: Hmm, that's an interesting story. So even though you knew he wasn't one of you, you still cooperated with him?
SCP-2910-JP-1: Well, what can I say, he was very popular. He always only said things that made sense, and he gave us accurate advice as if he could see the future. For better or worse, I think he had charisma.
House: So he was called on this case.
SCP-2910-JP-1: That's right. Originally, the world we live in is far away from here, but Hexa perfectly figured out the route from our home to this place and told us about it. The road was so long that I forgot, but the last step is "7 sections of the red, white, and blue-colored shaft backwards,"18. It was very cramped.
House: After you left for Manhattan Island, you guys approached a lot of different women, right?
SCP-2910-JP-1: Yes, that's right. Hexa said he wanted to save as many people as possible, so we went around Manhattan negotiating with people who were in danger or who looked like they were used to fighting. Anyway, we needed people.
House: So you met Rita.
SCP-2910-JP-1: I was quite anxious because I couldn't find the right person. But it's true that I wanted to help Rita.
House: You taught her magic to protect her.
SCP-2910-JP-1: Well, I guess you could say I "taught" her, but it didn't go according to plan. People in this world are really bad at using magic. I thought you could use almost any kind of magic as long as you had an emotion that caused a slight movement in your heart.
House: There is a limit to the strength of thaumaturgy that can be used only by emotion. Most of the great magic that we know of requires an energy source, such as blood.
SCP-2910-JP-1: What, you need materials to use magic? If you do something like that in our world, you'll be seen by a lot of people as being in a low position. Literally.
House: (Sighs.)
SCP-2910-JP-1: In any case, I tried my best to help Rita learn the magic that she could do on the spot. I heard from Hexa about the stereotypical image of magic that people here have, so I decided to give her toy robes, a wand, and a broom. The others did the same. We actually don't need all of that. Well, the trick to magic is to be in the right mood, and I realized once again that mood is important.
House: Did you do a lot of things to match Rita's image to that of a witch? You are a very considerate fairy.
SCP-2910-JP-1: We all believe in protecting those who allow us to act as their masters, even at the cost of our own lives. Well, I don't know what the person who invited us thought about that.
House: So Hexa was different?
SCP-2910-JP-1: That's right. Did you see that suicide dive into the monster's belly? Such a dangerous act would never come out of the idea of protecting. I think he was the only one who didn't like Alison somewhere in his heart. When I saw that, I realized once again that he was different from us.
House: Yeah, I looked at the footage earlier, and that was a pretty wild tackle. Or rather, the witch had completely abandoned her broom. …In any case, were you able to keep in touch with the people who jumped into further dimensional abnormalities after that?
SCP-2910-JP-1: That's completely impossible.
House: Hmm… Do you think Hexa is still alive?
SCP-2910-JP-1: Let me put it to you this way, had I done the same thing, I would have definitely died. But since it's him, I feel like he survived somehow. Perhaps he is traveling far away to an unknown world, using a path that none of us even know about.
House: You said Hexa taught you the way you came, right? Did he have other paths?
SCP-2910-JP-1: I don't know if Hexa was able to create a new path, but maybe his master, Allison, could. Judging by her demeanor, it seems like she's been a real witch for a long time.
House: I see…it's possible that the witch and fairy pair were fundamentally different from the other pairs in terms of their potential.
SCP-2910-JP-1: You can certainly say that.
House: Thank you. Lastly, do you have any idea what Hexa really wanted to do?
SCP-2910-JP-1: I've heard a lot of things about him, and I feel like he's not a master or a refugee or something like that, but maybe he's a part of this world itself where Manhattan Island is located. I wonder if he was interested in that? I had a strong feeling that he was thinking about something incomprehensible.
House: I see. In fact, earlier, I found out that Hexa had played an important role in the final stages of our operation to retake Manhattan. In a way, it certainly makes sense that he was acting to save the world.
SCP-2910-JP-1: But, why did he show interest in saving your world, even though he was originally from a faraway place? I can't understand this at all.
House: Maybe cause she was like a human from our world?
SCP-2910-JP-1: But even so, he treated her with the utmost carelessness. Judging from his behavior, I don't think he's acting for her sake.
House: Hmm, the mystery seems to be getting deeper and deeper.
SCP-2910-JP-1: Well, it's good that you're worried about Hexa, but I'm more worried about Allison, assuming she's still alive. If she stays with him, I think she's going to be in a lot of trouble, if not dead, in the future. Poor girl.
[Omitted]
As far as we can deduce from the information obtained from the interviews conducted by House, it seems that in the original timeline where SCP-2910-JP resided, "magic" was very different in principle from that of our world. In addition, SCP-2910-JP-3 and its counterpart, PoI-4056, seem to have caused various anomalous phenomena based on independent rules that were different from those of the other SCP-2910-JP instances. It is extremely difficult to determine the exact extent to which the magic that occurred in Manhattan originated from SCP-2910-JP. However, based on the law of similarity in thaumaturgy, "like begets like," the powers exercised by the girls, including Huxley, who were influenced by SCP-2910-JP, can be considered as not deviating from the type of miraculous arts. Therefore, the current classification that defines these women as Pseudo-Type Blue is not clearly erroneous.

Addendum.2910 -JP > Dr. Clef's Message
The following is a message containing information related to PoI-4056 that was received by Dr. Gears, who was working at Site-17, on 11/12/2001. The sender appears to be Dr. Clef, who went missing during the operation to retake Manhattan. Based on the content of the message, it is inferred that Dr. Clef's current location is in an anomalous region with a temporal rupture of unknown strength relative to the base dimension. As of 11/15/2001, there have been no confirmed responses from Dr. Clef to any messages sent by the Foundation.
To: Charles Gears - Site-17 Director
From: Alt Fxxx H Clef
Subject: Your daughter has been found
Charlie, your daughter is still very much alive. She's even flying around on a broomstick across the bright red sky. I think she's still looking for you! When she comes home to you, give her a big hug first. That will bring a little light back into your dead eyes.
P.S. The command center doesn't seem to have a proper communication line that goes directly to the other dimension, so please leave a message just in case. As soon as I'm done exterminating Mothra, I'll be back on my way, and I'll bring an extra large bottle of cognac from each of the bastards who treated me like a sacrifice, so keep the WTC site on the way back. That's all I have to say.
