The Sharkest Timeline

Canon Hub » The Sharkest Timeline

Derided by the "civilized" nations of the world.
Indoctrinated by Sharkic influence.
Mocked as the "Shark Punching Center".

This is the world of the Centre.

Eons ago, in an unknowable place, a Mistake was made. And for centuries, mankind's greatest philosophers have struggled to determine its nature. The legends of Terra Australis claim that the Great Whale Selachian that defines our reality was unjustly slain, trapping us in a broken world. Bathyeologians of the Boatswains of the Cog of God assert that this reality is a proving ground, meant to separate the righteous from the impure through glorious tribulation. And the Sharkics of the Global Ocean claim that there is no mistake; that this world is one where the strong rule — as they deserve.

Only recently have the Centre's Patafisticians found the true origin of our reality. We have always assumed that the presence of various "SCP" organizations throughout the local multiverse were part of a natural multiversal variation. But that's not true.

The natural order of the universe is "SCP".

We stem from a translocation of the two letters at the end:

"SCP" to "SPC".

Our lives are a joke.

But no one's laughing now.

Setting Information

The history of humanity in the Sharkest Timeline is offset from the Foundationverse by several millennia, having diverged in 1800 BCE.

The landmasses in the Sharkest Timeline are more or less the same as those in the mainline Foundationverse, with obvious exceptions (see map). The major differences concern the Global Ocean. In the Sharkest Timeline, the Global Ocean is the birthplace of the Abyssal Sharkicist civilization. Most of the seafloor is mapped, and developed settlements are spread across underwater regions. Because of Sharkic policies, the effects of anthropogenic climate change are much less pronounced, and the oceans have more biodiversity.

Remember that the nation-state is a concept that arose from modernity, and whose interpretation is contingent on a long genealogy of sociohistorical developments. We should not expect the understandings of persons and groups in the Sharkest Timeline to map 1:1 onto our own modern understandings, and vice versa.

This is true also of the current global order inherent to the Sharkest Timeline. It is largely dependent on Abyssal Sharkicist hegemony, which controls 70% of the Earth's surface and singularly governs the international oceans. But it is also, to a lesser extent, shaped by their agreements with the Global Organization of Countries, who collectively govern most of the international lands. It is an order shaped by the realities of an oceanic imperialism, and the different tendencies inherent to different generations of Sharkicist elites, who have had great influence on how today's territories were conceived.

Nevertheless, these are the countries and territories of the Sharkest Timeline. Most of these map onto modern countries (where noted) whereas others do not. Annotations are subdivided according to Abyssal Regions (under "World Oceanography") and Terrestrial Regions (under "World Geography").

World Oceanography

NOTICE: You are free to create any lore you wish for sections labelled [lore undefined]. Note, however, that we suggest consultation with one of the Canon Creators, and that we reserve the right to not add the specifics of this lore to the hub as the definitive version. We will link your work, but we reserve the right to link to any and all contradicting accounts.

Abyssal Regions

1. Atlantic Ocean

---

1. . Atlantos — The lost city of Atlantis. Among the fastest-growing Abyssal substates thanks in part to its prime seafloor real estate and financial investment from the neo-Sharkicist bourgeoisie.
2. . Sargassomari — Sargasso Sea. [lore undefined]

2. Indian Ocean

---

1. . Time Kingdom of Lemuria — The lost continent of Lemuria. [lore undefined]
2. . Varuna State — Off the coast of Southern Sri Lanka. [lore undefined]

3. Pacific Ocean

---

1. . Great Realm of Mu — The lost continent of Mu. [lore undefined]

Other Abyssal Territories

---

1. . Confederation of Adytum's Lakes — Lakes of Central Asia. [lore undefined]
2. . Salmonari Kingdoms of Pannonia — Hungary. The Pannonian Sea (formerly Hungary). [lore undefined]

Non-Abyssal Regions

1. Arctic Ocean

---

1. . Agartha Sea — A massive, subterranean ocean that sits beneath the perpetually frozen Arctic Circle. During the Epoch of Discovery, explorers discovered a labyrinthine network of water tunnels connecting the Agartha Sea to various parts of Nunangat, Vampyric Svalbard, the Union of Kalmar, and the SSRU. The Agartha Sea is currently being contested by hundreds of cells of pirates and is a region deemed ungovernable by the Global Organization of Countries. A regional variation of the Centre, known as the Selachiosk Pugnix Combin, is presently tasked with patrolling the fringes of the Agartha Sea and its subterranean headwaters to deter Sharkicist infiltration.

2. Great Garbage Patches

---

1. . The Great Spire Gyre — Great Atlantic Garbage Patch, Northern Gyre. One of several garbage patches formed from the refuse of the Benthic Wars. The colossal leader of the nation converted his body into a volcanic tower that encompasses the entirety of the country. The Great Spire Gyre exists in the center of a perpetual maelstrom.
2. . Forge City Gyratory — Great Atlantic Garbage Patch, Southern Gyre. Populated by giant automatons and their inch-sized leader (known as The Pint), Forge City Gyratory is the largest manufacturer in the world. Their industrial-scale manufacturing of garbage products has spread across the terrestrial and abyssal regions alike.
3. . Eternal Gyre of Lemuria — Great Indian Garbage Patch. The resting place of all garbage, no matter the time, no matter the place, it will always end up here eventually.
4. . The Serene State of Gyrefornia — Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Eastern Pacific Gyre. Led by cyborg-queen Calafia, the nation balances a blend of robotic augmentations with natural organics, such as the nation's flagship airforce; robot griffons consisting of field-grown wormdogs fitted into metallic shells.
5. . Gyron Tokyo — Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Western Pacific Gyre. Yōkai make up 43% of the demographic.
6. . Dark Gyre — Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Southern Pacific Gyre. A black smog enshrouds the country, obscuring their dark magiks from the world. The government of Dark Gyre is one of the few that promote global pollution. Isolationist, xenophobic, and expansionist.

Miscellaneous Territories

---

1. Argentine Sea — Argentina (formerly). Emerged in the wake of the Nazbol Maelstrom; survivors never found. A habitat for large colonies of Thunnus thynnus, popularizing the name "Argentuna" among visitors.
2. . Liberated Cetacean Union — Dispersed across the South Pacific. A GOC member state consisting of Deviant-Class Cetacean Entities, who have formed a decentralized democratic government.

• A slave revolt breaks out in the minor city-state of Adytum. Rebel slaves speak of fraternity in their collective worship of the Mistaken Beast. United as one force, they overthrow the reigning Adytum elites, physically consuming them in the process.
• These newly self-emancipated slaves become proficient in Deviant carnomantic arts and undergo rituals to transfigure their bodies into human-shark-octopus abominations: CYAN ABYSS. The Sharkic Cult forms.
• The Centreverse diverges from the mainline Foundationverse.

1500 BCE

• Aristocrat and amateur sailor Cristoforo Colombo sets plans to discover a naval trade passage to the Mongol Khanate, much to the chagrin of his brother Bartolomeo and the King of Aragon. During his maiden voyage, however, Colombo's incompetence leads his expedition through a Sharkicist raiding party in the mid-Atlantic. It is alleged that two ships, 70 men (including Colombo), and 1,000,000 gold maravedi became lost with all hands, consumed by Sharkic Halcost, whereas one ship manages to escape and returns to Europ.
• In Middle Europ, word about Colombo's lost fortune spurs on a series of events that kickstarts the Epoch of Discovery. Colombo's fortune, meanwhile, cannot be located. It is speculated that his fortune never existed and that he forged tax receipts.
• The ensuing European discovery of America was, for its part, was entirely accidental.

• Ravaged by the protracted conflict that forced Sharkics into battle on land, the Northeastern Eurasian confederation of Abyssal Sharkicist city-states enters a wide-scale civil war. Waves of infighting and confusion ripple across Adytum's Lakes and beyond.
• Seizing on the unprecedented opportunity, Tsar-in-Exile Konstantín Konstantínovich I marshalls his Deviant Royal Fleet and returns from Russkaya Amerika (Alaska). He leads a united front within the deteriorating Sharkic-dominated region.
• Konstantínovich's forces stage a royalist restorationist revolution. News of revolution makes its way across the disparate Oblasti Councils. From Sibir to Kamchatka, and as far west as Makhnovia, the emergent royalist-backed sovereign ministries begin referring to their collective territories as the Dýxaty⁴ or Pýxat⁵ Union. However, the revolution is soon disparaged as “Dyshe-Rotom” — an anti-surface-dweller pejorative meaning “mouth-breathers”, which the regional Sharkicists deploy against their terrestrial adversaries. (Revolutionaries deploy the epithet Лэндшаркс or “Landsharks” in retaliation.)

Groups of Finterest

Sharkicism

---

Sharkicism as a whole can be divided into two main groups: Abyssal Sharkicism and Surface Sharkicism. While the two share a name and a theology, only Abyssal Sharkicism has any real power.

Sharkicists are dedicated to the direct worship of SPC-001. They originated in the now-sunken city-state of Adytum.

Surface Sharkicism

Sharkicists who live primarily on dry land have almost nothing in common with their abyssal cousins. Many of them are essentially baseline humans who find the theology or aesthetics of the Abyssal Sharkicists appealing.

Abyssal Sharkicism

Adherents to Abyssal Sharkicism control over 90% of the world's oceans, and have done so since approximately 1500 BCE. Abyssal Sharkicists are almost universally CYAN ABYSS entities — bizarre human-shark hybrids — though some individuals have been observed to have appearances closer to baseline humanity. Many Abyssal Sharkicists incorporate biology from other marine life, such as octopi, anglerfish, and other terrors of the deep.

While Abyssal Sharkicists as a whole possess a shared goal, Sharkic substates have formed over the course of the centuries.

Known CYAN ABYSS substates and their locations are as follows:

• Atlantos, North Atlantic Ocean
• Sargassomari, Sargasso Sea (Atlantic Ocean)
• Time Kingdom of Lemuria, Indian Ocean
• Varuna State, Indian Ocean
• Great Realm of Mu, Northeast Pacific Ocean
• Confederation of Adytum's Lakes, Lakes of Central Asia
• Salmonari Kingdoms of Pannonia, Eastern Europe

The Marianas Treaty

The Marianas Treaty of 1968 was established at the end of the Second Benthic War, and dictates the terms of interaction between Abyssal Sharkic societies and terrestrial societies. Roughly 95% of all terrestrial nation-states and an unquantified majority of Sharkic states are signatories as well. The Centre is not a signatory of the treaty and as such does not need to adhere to its points; however, several other NGOs with a significant oceanic presence accepted the terms.

The most significant points of the treaty are as follows.

• A ban on baseline human military and scientific use of deep-ocean waters, defined as 100 km beyond the end of the continental shelf, unless previously approved by the CYAN ABYSS government of the relevant area. Recreational expeditions are exempted.
• A cessation of CYAN ABYSS attacks and abductions from signatory terrestrial states. Vessels in deep-ocean waters are not protected.
  • License for Navigations Unseen (NU) inspectors to enter Sharkic waters to ensure adherence to the above.
• A CYAN ABYSS representative at any organization with an oceanic presence, possessing full voting rights and veto power over any action involving naval deployment.

Liberated Cetacean Union

---

See SPC-1258. Basically, they're dolphin and whale people. Many of them have joined the Centre as full-on agents, as seen in SPC-507 and SPC-179.

Marshall, Carter, and Shark Ltd

---

Marshall, Carter, and Dark, but since this is the Centreverse, Mr. Dark is an evil shark from beyond nature instead of being an evil humanoid from beyond nature. They don't show up a lot, but it's fairly consistent that Mr. Shark was overthrown in a coup that was totally not backed by the Centre. The company is currently trying to rebrand as "Marshall and Carter Ltd."

Whereabouts of Mr. Shark are unknown.

Boatswains of the Cog of God (BotCoG)

---

A widespread and orthodox religion. Boatswains believe that the Planet Earth is a ship (specifically a Cog) sailing on a celestial ocean (some more literally than others), and that God (the captain) has chosen them as the petty officers entrusted with keeping good order among His crew (humanity).

According to Boatswain bathyeology, when the long ages are inscribed onto the tapestry of history, God dots them with hardships designed to test the resolve of His crew. As morale and camaraderie become exhausted amongst the crew, it is then that God orders His commanders (prohpets) onto the naval theatre (the world) to inspire confidence. Though these commanders are but Men, the might of God flows through them.

• The first commander, Moshe the manta ray shepherd, could move boats with the stretch of his hand. It is said that he parted the seas by ramming a gigantic ship through the waters. His faithful lead the Mosaic Way.

• The second commander, Yeshua the fisher, had a miraculous catch rate. He flooded the seafood market with his catch; for this, the Seven Seas Empire ordered his hooxicution.⁶ It is said that he punched clean through the Devil's bathysphere and returned three days later from the bottom of the ocean. His faithful lead the Messianic Way.

• The third commander, Mahomet the entrepreneur, knew the gift of gab. He divined God's revelations as they carried on the trade winds, learned of them, and directed them towards worldly matters. It is said that he brought stability to the tides: first, the social fabric of the masses; and then, the very movement of the ocean currents. His faithful lead the Qur'ānic Way.

These Faithful are united in their devotion to keeping watch over the Cog, in many confraternities and consororities across the world. Adherents of the three denominations each carry the duty of First Watch as it vacillates to a new sect every four years, on Feburary 30th (leap day).

But what could be said of the Arc of the Boatswains, the city-sized mothercraft that crests the Global Ocean?

The Johnson Heresy

The Johnson Heresy, or the Johnsonists, are an American heresy based in the state of Deseret. They believe that God's true name is YAT, and that he is akin to the admiral of a fleet. Those who have lived virtuous lives of service are rewarded with great wealth, a doctrine known as the "Commission Gospel". High-ranking members of the Johnsonists are known for their elaborate luxury recreational craft.

Great American Watchmen

---

An association of individuals dedicated to the preservation of American fine arts and cultural purity, the GAW encounters an abnormally high amount of Deviant art. Founded as a secret society in the early days of the UAS and dissolving and reforming countless times since, the GAW's current headquarters are in California. The Centre believes that some members of the GAW produce Deviant art as a form of appreciation of American culture and history.

Navigations Unseen (NU)

---

The esoteric arm of the Global Organization of Countries, the Navigations Unseen's mission is to use and understand Deviant phenomena for the betterment of humanity. Founded during the First Benthic War, the NU was crucial in preventing the extinction of baseline humanity at the hands of the Sharkic Empires. Under the stipulations of the Marianas Treaty, the NU is one of the few organizations with the power to conduct expeditions in deep-sea locations without unilateral approval from the GOC.

While not opposed to the Centre's mission, the NU does not consider SPC-001 a major priority and is primarily oriented around the preservation and improvement of human lives. As a naval and scientific enterprise under the auspices of the GOC, the NU's view on Selachian threats is fundamentally one of documentation.

Poseidon Laboratories

---

A Deviant technology conglomerate, Poseidon Laboratories is involved in Deviant technology trade worldwide since the 1900s. Many Centre researchers have approached Poseidon Laboratories to produce Deviant technology devices that the Centre refuses to fund, essentially becoming the unofficial R&D branch of the Centre.

Although Poseidon Laboratories was proposed to be merged with the Centre, all such propositions were denied. This was believed to ensure the status quo, and to prevent the loss of an unofficial R&D branch that ultimately aided the Centre's interests.

The SCP Foundation

---

An extra-dimensional organisation focused on the containment of all Deviant technologies; it has notably interfered with Centre operations on multiple occasions. Most notably, the SCP Foundation's Department of Extra-Universal Affairs has funded a schism within the Centre – causing sceptical personnel to oppose the Centre under the banner of Containment Initiative.

Ultimately, the extra-dimensional origins of the SCP Foundation have caused most dissenters to return and re-pledge their loyalty to the Centre. Despite that, the "SCP Foundation" is speculated to be dangerous and will be dealt with harshly.

World Wildlife Foundation

---

A mysterious organization, possibly funded by the Global Coalition of Countries, dedicated to speciating, conserving, and preserving wildlife. The WWF is known for having "Species Conservation Preserves", in which they house wildlife. They are believed to be responsible for preventing the beginning of a fifth mass extinction event. Their public fronts are concerned primarily with the preservation of all wildlife, but rumors suggest that they have a special interest in collecting Deviant wildlife, possibly for weaponization purposes. While uncanny similarities exist between the WWF and the SCP Foundation, reliable intelligence indicates that the two organizations do not collude.

The presence of the WWF, the SCP Foundation, and the Centre in this timeline is almost certainly a result of SPC-001 interference.

Though if I'm being honest, it's funnier if Fae and Tim Wilson are the shadowy controllers of an all-powerful wildlife conservation organization, so I've started using Wilson's Wildlife Foundation recently.

Union of American States' Center for Institutionalized Impacting (UASCII)

---

A proto-Centre organization existing in the Union of American States before the Second Benthic War. Not much information exists beyond black-boxes or pieces of paper pummelled into pulp. It is known, however, that the UASCII engaged in highly controversial Deviant experiments, as funded by the Union to protect humans against all Sharkic threats, real or imagined.

There is some scant evidence that suggests their reasons for engaging in selachian pugilism are drastically different from those of the modern Centre.

The Serpent's Hand

---

The Serpent's Hand is multiversal, so here, they're literally just the Serpent's Hand. Except they know that most universes aren't farces based on a pun.

Canon Information

Clarification

What is the Sharkest Timeline?

Some Historical Context, and a Tuna Salad Sandwich

---

The Sharkest Timeline is a writing project aimed at reconstructing and resurrecting the original "central storyline" of the Shark Punching Centre.

The Sharkest Timeline finds its earliest inspirational roots in SCP-1449 and It Always Has Been, It Always Has Not Been, both written by Djoric. In broad strokes, these stories envision a divergence from the Foundationverse into something we will call (for the sake of comparison) the Centreverse. The divergence is caused by a universal reality-altering event, but it was not a one-time event — it can happen again. The present state of the Centreverse depends on the relationship that relevant parties have to the punching of sharks. When this relationship changes, the entire universe forces a transformation into a different version of itself: One in which the relationship to punching sharks remains, at the expense of reality. Thus, in these articles we see two radically different Centreverses emerge:

• A less-developed world in which Selachiosk Pungix Combin, a loose collection of fraternal nomads, engages in shark-punching purely for their own survival.
• A hyper-advanced world in which The Center, a global superpower, has mastered the art of shark-punching, and whose society and social customs are incomprehensible.

In 2015 and 2016, writers MrWrong and sirpudding came around and established something new: What matters is whether the act of shark-punching remains funny. When the Powers That Be (AKA The Mistaken Beast, which represents the real-world contributors of the SCP Wiki, S. Andrew Swann's "Horror Writers") no longer consider shark-punching "funny", the universe course-corrects and transforms itself into something far more absurd and ridiculous. In other words, whenever the Centre stops punching sharks, or when their means of punching sharks are no longer considered funny, their universe course-corrects so that it remains funny; so that it was always funny. The inherent tension that comes with maintaining the humour in Selachian pugilism is a driving theme in this canon and the universe in which it resides.

What are some of its absurd features?

---

When writing for The Sharkest Timeline, think less grimdark and more grimshark.

Thousands of years ago, a universe similar to the Foundationverse underwent a massive shift in reality, and the Centreverse emerged from its ashes. So began the Sharkest Timeline.

This is not a world where neoliberal global capitalism reigns supreme. It is a world run by an underwater cabal of power- and flesh-hungry human-shark-octopus abominations known as the Sharkic cults.

This is not a world where the Anomalous is secured, contained, and protected. In fact, there is no Veil to speak of. It is a world in which various groups use and abuse the Deviant (AKA the Anomalous) to manage and maintain the Global Ocean, power their technology, and help them punch sharks better than other groups.

It is a world where the Daeva died in a boating accident, and the Centre continually resurrects them via the Chronicle of Daeva so as to learn their increasingly advanced techniques for punching sharks.

How does the Sharkest Timeline differ from standard SPC?

---

Standard SPC is less constrained: It does not necessarily need to adhere to these principles. The Sharkest Timeline, however, is anything that:

1. Adheres to these principles,
2. Exists in a shared universe with other articles that adhere to these principles, and
3. Does not contradict other articles in the Sharkest Timeline in a way that cannot be explained in-universe.

See the "On SPC-001" tab for more details on the one unbreakable rule.

On SPC-001

SPC-001: The Mistaken Beast

---

The original intent of the ideas that were the antecedents of the Sharkest Timeline was that there was only one SPC-001 — the Mistaken Beast, a Pataphysical flaw in the universe. The typo SPC led to the spawning of an entire universe around the idea.

That ship has sailed. The originators of that idea are no longer around, and it would feel wrong to write an SPC-001 that is the entirety of the Mistaken Beast without them. However, that should not preclude SPC-001s that are proposals for how to deal with the Mistaken Beast.

In a way, this is more true to the spirit of SPC. There is one Deviance/Anomaly driving all the action, and every proposal is a way to take it down.

For an SPC-001 to be in the Sharkest Timeline, it must follow one of the following criteria:

1. It must treat the Mistaken Beast as the "true" SPC-001.
2. It must be about the Mistaken Beast; the Mistaken Beast is the 001 being described in the SPC.
3. It must reveal some aspect or interpretation of the Mistaken Beast, or otherwise be some way of dealing with it.

We can't technically stop you from declaring your stuff as part of The Sharkest Timeline if it doesn't follow these rules, but we ask that you don't.
