[Dr. Macmillan re-enters his credentials, putting his clearance level as four]
Dr. Morgan: "How'dya make such a rookie mistake Eddy?"
Dr. Macmillan: "I have no idea what you're talking about Sarah!"
[Dr. Macmillan then proceeds to put on an innocent face, smirking]
Dr. Morgan: [Sighs] "We don't have time for this anyways. You have to go through and review my work, 'kay Eddy? We don't fully understand this new anomaly yet… but, well, please give me tips! After all, it is my first time being assigned as a lead researcher"
Dr. Macmillan: "Yea yea, I'll be sure to give you some tips or whatnot… let me access it."

Dr. Macmillan: "Okay Sarah, so I skimmed through it and it's alright I guess. I'll spend some time later going through it in greater detail. We'll meet next Tuesday and I'll have some tips ready for you. Okay now bye I gotta go get my daily dose of Taco Bell."
Dr. Morgan: " 'kay Eddy, thanks again for doing this. Means a lot to me y'know. Most of us don't get a guide, and you chose to willingly help me! I can't thank you enough."
Dr. Macmillan: "No problem at all. We've known each other since childhood, of course, I will help you out."
Dr. Morgan: "See'ya later Eddy."
Dr. Macmillan: "See you."
[On the next Tuesday, Dr. Macmillan imparts his observations to Dr. Morgan, who subsequently proceeds with her ongoing research on SCP-7908. Dr. Morgan has affirmed her intention to promptly amend the documentation accordingly.]
The date is February 2, 2018.
[Dr. Macmillan enters Dr. Morgans's office, taking a seat in front of her]
Dr. Macmillan: "I'm sorry that it's been a few months since I last checked up on you. Have you made an update to the file yet?"
Dr. Morgan: "Yea Eddy, I have. I think you're going to find what I have discovered to be rather interesting. Please make sure to give me feedback 'kay?"

Dr. Macmillan: "So I'm skimming through it right now and…"
[Dr. Macmillan turns away from his laptop to face Dr. Morgan]
Dr. Macmillan: "Well done Sarah! I'm impressed. You've confirmed the multiverse theory, congrats. Tho, I think there may be some Level 5 and Level 4 documents that have already confirmed the multiverse theory prior to you. Just exercise the multiverse theory part and like, just saying it's from another universe is enough."
Dr. Morgan: " 'kay thanks! You've been a huge help!"
Dr. Macmillan: "Don't mention it"
[Dr. Macmillan continues reading the document. After he finishes reading the document, he and Dr Morgan go over how she could continue to do research and improve the document]
The date is February 28, 2018.
Dr. Macmillan: "Okay, it's been a few weeks now. Have you added an update to the document yet?"
Dr. Morgan: "Yeah I have"
Dr. Macmillan: "Yea okay, let me check it out."

Dr. Macmillan: "Okay so I briefly went through the changes you've made and it is sort of more specific. That's good I guess. But there are definitely some areas where you can do further research"
Dr. Morgan: " 'kay, again thanks so much for doing this Eddy. Can you please tell me specifically in what areas I need to do more research?"
Dr. Macmillan: "It's really no problem at all Sarah, and we can go over where you can improve right now."
[Dr. Macmillan and Dr. Morgan go over how she could continue to do research and improve the document]
The date is April 11, 2018.
Dr. Macmillan: "We're going to be doing this for a while aren't we?"
[Dr. Morgan would lightly sniffle, it was very clear that she was on the verge of crying]
Dr. Macmillan: "Sarah, is everything okay?"
Dr. Morgan: "NO! OBVIOUSLY NOT!"
Dr. Macmillan: "Calm down. Take a deep breath and relax."
[Dr. Morgan would take multiple deep breaths]
Dr. Macmillan: "Now tell me what happened."
Dr. Morgan: "It's just that… In the new update to the file, I discovered something that triggered the O5 Council. And now…"
[Dr. Morgan began to cry again, going into an uncontrollable sob]
Dr. Macmillan: "Deep breaths Sarah. Deep breaths. Ease your mind. Calm down."
[Dr. Morgan would begin to pace around the room taking in multiple deep breaths before once again sitting beside Dr. Macmillan]
Dr. Morgan: "I don't want to tell you this Eddy but… The file has been upped to Level 5 Clearance and now… they're going to wipe all memories of me ever working with the foundation just because I worked on this stupid fucking document that they now deem as- AS HIGHLY CLASSIFIED WHEN I WAS THE ONE WHO WORKED ON IT!"
Dr. Macmillan: "Sarah I-"
Dr. Morgan: "SHUT UP! MY MEMORY IS GOING TO BE WIPED AND JUST- I- MY WHOLE LIFE IS FALLING APART JUST BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID DOCUMENT! AND THEIR PROBABLY GOING TO WIPE YOUR MEMORY AS WELL!"
[Dr. Morgan would take multiple deep breaths, calming herself down as she now continued to speak in a barely audible whisper]
Dr. Morgan: "At least we can face it together… Right? I'm sure after both our memories are wiped we'll be able to-"
Dr. Macmillan: "Sarah I'm sorry to say this but… I've been promoted. I've been well… awarded Level 5 clearance… So my memory won't be wiped and I-"
Dr. Morgan: "Get out."
Dr. Macmillan: "What?"
Dr. Morgan: "LEAVE MY GODDAMN OFFICE!"
NOTICE: Eight hours subsequent to this exchange, Dr. Sarah George Morgan underwent amnestic treatment, resulting in the complete erasure of her involvement with the Foundation from her memory. False memories have been introduced in place of her prior knowledge and experiences.
The date is April 25, 2018.

O5-1: "You were the guide for Dr. Sarah Morgan on SCP-7908, correct?"
O5-13: "Um yea.. that's correct sir."
O5-1: "Well, I think you may be interested in reading the finalized document… It was completed over 6 and a half years ago but as me and the rest of the council found out what- I won't spoil it for you… Just read it yourself"
O5-13: "The council found out what sir?"
O5-1: "Let's just say we all had an existential crisis about our existence… even me! And I am 163 years old! You won't find the finalized document good at all… but please do read it when you can! Toodles!"
O5-13: "Am I dismissed sir?"
O5-1: "Yes yes. You are dismissed!"

[Begin Log]
O5-1: "So, we all know what SCP-7908 is, right?"
[The other council members in attendance would nod]
O5-1: Good! That means we do not need to go over it. Now what we need to discuss instead is what we have discovered about the parallel earth. And I must admit… It's rather concerning."
O5-4: "Yea yea… So… well… I guess our EXISTENCE IS A JOKE! A LITERAL JOKE! What we have learned is that in that parallel universe, the foundation doesn't exist but what does exist is a FICTIONAl version of the foundation. Yes, you heard me right! In that parallel universe, the foundation is a "secret fictional organization documented by the writing wiki project of the same name". AND YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT THEIR MOTTO IS? Their motto is "Declassified for your enjoyment" from what I've seen. And this is all public, every single SCP, and file we ever had is publically available in that universe as a work of fiction! And then! They have these people called "authors" who are quote-on-quote the true writers of all of our files. Supposedly even this very article is written by one of these "authors"! BUT THIS IS A LIE AND WE KNOW IT! THIS PARALLEL UNIVERSE IS NOT REAL! IT CAN NOT BE REAL BECAUSE IF IT WAS THEN OUR EXISTENCE WOULD BE POINTLESS!"
O5-11: "This is god awful… Why the fuck do I even exist if this is true? What's even worse is that in this universe you have some random people making publically available videos about the foundation! Hundreds of thousands of people then proceed to watch these videos and they don't seem to be shocked in any way because supposedly in this universe the FOUNDATION IS FICTIONAL!"
O5-2: "These overreactions are ridiculous… I myself do not care about this, to me it's just another universe that doesn't-
O5-3: "Nein! Nein! Wissenschaft! We should think about this scientifically! We shouldn't worry nor be blasé! Isn't it fascinating that such a world exists? We should study it! Es ist faszinierend! It's so- It's just- Eindrucksvoll that something like this exists!"
O5-12: "Firstly… None of us speak German except you -3… So please just speak in English and! We really should just be blasé! This serves no importance in any way, shape, or form! Can this meeting just end already?"
O5-1: "No no, wait for everyone to state-"
O5-7: "Yea yea. I should not exist, we should not exist. It's confirmed. Because APPARENTLY all of us are works of fiction created by some random people from that other universe! Yea no if you couldn't tell that was sarcasm I'll reassure you that I was indeed being sarcastic because this is not true and the rest of you are just a bunch of crybabies, except for the reasonable lot of you that aren't panicking."
O5-5: "I don't know what to think. I'm itching toward -7's opinion but- If this is true my purpose is a joke. OUR purpose is a joke. I just- this can't be true."
O5-3: "Well… It is. And it shouldn't matter! It's not of importance! Warum ist der Rat voller Heulsuse? Nein. Don't matter I guess… Just-"
O5-7: "Please stop speaking in German…"
O5-12: "You shouldn't speak in German -3… I already told you. And everyone else you shouldn't care about this! It's basically irrelevant! It's from another universe! It doesn't matter!"
O5-5: "What about-"
[O5-1 clears his throat, shushing O5-5]
O5-1: "I don't think I should have hosted this meeting… There was no point to it… I don't know why I hosted it so- Just- No more comments. It is what it is. Even I am questioning reality at the moment. But please. No more comments. This is all the information that we need. The meeting is adjourned."
[End Log]
To whoever is reading this… Whether it be myself, a future council member or anyone! I want you to know that whilst this truth may be frightening… Just realize that we don't know whether it's real or not. This is just what we have observed… and our observations can be wrong. I hope this may be able to comfort you if this is something that freaks you out. If not well, you didn't have to read this.
O5-1
[Dr. Macmillan (O5-13) finishes reading the document]
Dr. Macmillan (O5-13): "Is this really the truth?"
