I get the sense that our POV character managed to get a message back in time, successful in sending back what he had and unable or unwilling to record more. Seeing as how the year AJAX breaks containment will come and go in the future, I think the implication is that the foundation will find a way out of this situation armed with this foresight.

I like the idea of the SCP Foundation accidentally creating their OWN confused apocalypse gods through their own desperation for self-preservation

[@ryanjones_rheios]

Despite the dread inherent to the SCP, in some ways, I think its a little hopeful because it implies - to me at least - that someone (probably not Troy from the sounds of his leaving) succeeded in at least sending the info back to warn the Foundation, since none of those dates have occurred yet.

[@Thaumana]

Not really. Scp has no canon so most likely this article took place in its time period. Especially since it doesn’t mention that the article was from the future.

[@ryanjones_rheios]

@@Thaumana Fair point although it brokers the question on how we're even reading it but that loops back around to the no canon implying no real overarching meta maybe.

[@Thaumana]

@@ryanjones_rheios scp articles don’t necessarily take place in the same time as the real world. Canons like ad astra per aspera take place in the far future. Other articles take place after the world’s already ended.

[@petrichor3797]

It is cannon though that the Foundation exists in a myriad of Realities and has ways to enter and leave as well as send information into other Realities.

[@neomaniac14]

So, to make sure I understand, there was a world ending scenario threatening Earth, AJAX, and a contingency plan created by the Foundation went public, these four beings that had been imbedded deep in the Earth. When these four beings were found out, the world at large prayed for their survival, and these four beings ascended to godhood, destroyed AJAX and then proceeded to do whatever it is they do to end humanity anyway? We traded one XK for another?

[@erdrick8670]

I'm pretty sure that's what happens, but it is a bit confusing to know when it goes from one threat to the other in description. Certainly lost me at times in which entities I was supposed to be imagining as I listened to this.

[@BoxCox]

Yeah, the girls that are buried are clones or smth like that, I guess, of scp 239 Witch Child who is said to posess the power of granting her wishes. She is said to be nice and posses the innocence of a child so, I guess, when everyone prayed to her she kinda wanted to live up to expectations... Or them now, dunno why there are several.

[@mobiusflammel9372]

@@BoxCox He said they had a close call with 239 almost ending the world, and that incident lead to the foundation realizing it needed a contingency plan. The four girls are random people they grabbed off the street and stuffed full of tech and sorcery in order to create said contingency plan. They don't appear to have any relation to 239.

[@matthewcolosi7606]

It sounds like the original intent was that these girls would basically be infinite baby making machines. Since he said they had wombs that could operate for 1000 years. But, then when every living human prayed for their survival, they became gods. The effect they currently have, of transforming humans into these “floaters” seems to be a defense mechanism of sorts. He said “gods need followers” which implies that they are creating these followers in an attempt to save themselves. Though they did destroy Ajax at some point, so I’m not 100% sure on that part.

[@aepokkvulpex]

​@@BoxCoxI can help make the backstory at 16:26 clear! I did have to look up 239: She was/is a little girl with astronomically powerful reality bending abilities, which the Foundation felt threatened by. The Foundation lured / kidnapped four already existing thirteen year old orphan girls off the streets, and combined technology with magic and rituals in classic SCP fashion, with the goal of making them a contingency plan for an end of the world scenario. He mentions they have functioning wombs made to last for a thousand years. He also mentions SCP-2000, essentially a humanity mass repopulation entity. The icon of the Thaumiel class, really. The girls were buried before 2000 was discovered, it made them unnecessary, 30 years later AJAX utterly destroyed SCP-2000, and then these four girls were remembered. It is noted that the girls "weren't built to be divine." When the PSAs mentioned the girls, they meant in the sense of restarting humanity. But things went wrong. Whether through AJAX's influence, or the ambient psychic disturbance to reality that releasing all of the SCPs over the course of three years brought (9:16), or all of the above, a desperate human population collectively clutched to this PSA in a panic and instead of "praying for their survival" (9:37-10:00) for a future humanity, everyone begged to be saved now and put that belief in the idea of those girls. What I imagine was a widespread ambient reality distortion by then turned those wishes and desires into a twisted reality. It made those orphan girls gods.

[@dermetzger]

For those trying to get a sense of scale for these beings, I did some math so you don't have to... Pallas, the largest, is 23.5 km tall. Which is 14.6 mi, or 77,099 ft. To compare something of a similar height... Olympus Mons, the highest peak in our solar system, is only 21.9 km (13.6 mi/72,000 ft) Crazy as that is, here's something even more nuts... MAGOG protocol, tenant 2 says "Under no circumstances are any personnel permitted to travel to an area that will be in the path of an SCP-7450 transience within 72 hours." Pallas takes 468 days to circumnavigate the planet, meaning she travels around 53 miles a day... However, with her height, she would be visible from around 235 mi away. So, even in the best-case scenario, with her coming directly at you, 72 hours wouldn't be enough. She would be visible for about 4 days...

There could be a maximum range for the cognitohazardous effects. That said, I imagine the voice of something that incredibly massive would carry for a DISTANCE.

[@raptor2265]

I think that you would have plenty of time to get out of the way of it, even at a walking speed, let alone using a car, boat, or airplane. Unless I've made a mistake with my math, that speed doesn't add up; with the Earth having a circumference of 40,075km, and there being 41,990,400 seconds in 486 days (486 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds), they would be travelling at 0.0009545 km/s, or about 3.44 kilometers per hour. Considering that an average person walking at an average speed moves at about 5 km/h, that means that Pallas is moving at a considerably slow, leisurely pace. Honestly, it must look as though it's moving in super slow-motion - either that, or it looks like they're moonwalking, as a height of 23.5 kilometers would have a stride size between "steps" that would put it at a FAR greater speed.

[@TheRyuSword]

@@CaptainKirkZ1LLA, it was made clear that the cognitohazards of these things work on sound and sight of their faces. So the ‘range’ is probably the fact you can’t see one of their faces 4 days away from them.

While a lot of people seem put off by the Keter+ entries these past few years, finding them overdone by this point, it's entries like this one and 6200 Insomnium that still manage to spark in me that same sort of existential horror that I had when I first found SCP. Both stories already had the apocalypse happen, but the "how" and aftermaths still manage to pull me in. I haven't kept up with SCP as much since around the 5000 contest(?), so these few that I have caught in the interim really make me want to take a week off and delve into the entries I've missed.

[@foolsenigma]

Theres a different scp entry (mysterium i think?) That straight up says the foundation has an agreement with multiple other alternate universe versions of the foundation where, in the event of an xk class end of the world scenario, documentation of the scenario will be automatically transmitted to all other versions of the foundation which are part of the agreement, so that those versions of the foundation can hopefully avoid the end of their version of the world.

For anyone not really in the know about this, who might not have been around for the 2000 fallout drama (or who never paid attention to SCP writing matter/cared about drama) SCP-2000 was kind of a gamechanger. It's basically a reversal of many kinds of Apocalypsis, a sort of Get Out of Jail Free card for the Foundation that--to many--sort of took the wind out of the sails of a lot of the more frightening or disturbing SCPs about the world ending, because like... if everyone starts turning into a clown, or a giant country-sized bear wrecks our atmosphere, or some ancient one-eyed god comes back and kills everyone, why does it really matter if 05-2 presses a button and basically hits a console Reset on everything? So, this is a late-come entry after its effects, but the 'force easily brushing aside SCP-2000' is a pretty mainstay trope in SCPs these days as a result of that introduction; not super relevant here, but I just wanted to mention it.

This is one of the few SCP entries to actually instill some fear/anxiety/distress in a long time, and I’ve been on this train ride for like five years now. Amazing. Just great.

[@soulsilvergaming4833]

Thank you I was so bored

[@AnimeShinigami13]

Cardboard cutout? figures Clef would pull shit like that. XD You know what this kinda sorta reminded me of? "I have no mouth, but I must scream". The ending of it at least. Don't know why I got those vibes because the story is completely different.

[@greglewis725]

Oh... now that you mention it the cover (and painting that inspired the story) sort of does have that vibe.

[@DavidRYates-tk2tq]

This is honestly one of my favorite SCPs, one of the best ever created and pretty terrifying.

That "if indeed you still are" had a different effect this time.

[@starfire118]

Lots of dislike for XK class keter+ but none for volgun. God save you my guy. I personally like the unstopable entries that have long videos. I like the foreboding dread of it all and the way it makes the characters and environment they are in feel and sound

[@alexrexaros9837]

Man, I remember when SCP only had Safe, Euclid and Keter. And also when not every single one of them were reality shattering monstrosities.

[@flamefriends3842]

Idk if the toilet paper SCP would be something that could be made today

[@CantusTropus]

This seems like it should've been a Tale. 90% of it is backstory

[@yourface2464]

I do too. Boy do I not miss those times, SCPs like this are far better. Never saw people mindlessly complaining when older SCPs were longer, and you never see people complaining about 01 proposals. We get it, you don't like large scale existential stories, you don't have to keep reminding us every single time. Clearly people like this content, or it wouldn't be made so much.

[@lefturd]

@@yourface2464 I guess, bet then again there are a lot of over done writing trends that a lot of people write. Not because it's clever, unique, or inherently good, but because its easy and a low hanging fruit. For example, a lot of writers fall into the meta 4th wall breaking tropes when trying to write backstory, like "it was actually all a dream" or "this is only one of many multiverses". While they can be very good, it's often only done because it's very easy to make a backstory that makes sense and also has an "epic" twist using such tropes. It turns your otherwise garbage plot into a mediocre one, at the sacrifice of creativity. Writing SCPs that don't fall under the normal classifications and/or are obvious Mary Sues have that same problem. Not saying ALL of them are bad and unimaginative, it's just that from a writer's standpoint, it often doesn't take a lot of imagination to come up with one. "OBJECT CLASS: ANNOYING. SCP-42069 IS A GIANT ORANGE WITH HUMAN EYES AND A HUMAN MOUTH. IT IS ALWAYS SAYING 'HEY, HEY APPLE' AND IF YOU HEAR IT YOUR BRAIN MELTS OUT YOUR EARS. IT'S SO LOUD THAT YOU CAN HEAR IT FROM HALFWAY ACROSS THE PLANET AND THERE'S NO WAY TO STOP IT!!!! JOURNAL ENTRY ONE; I LIVE UNDERGROUND AND IVE BEEN WAITING 12 YEARS FOR, WHATEVER THAT 'THING' IS, TO CEASE ITS CRIES. JOURNAL ENTRY 2; IM BEGINNING TO GO CRAY CRAY FROM STAYING UNDERGROUND FOR SO LONG!! JOURNAL ENTRY 3; YEAH, THATS IT. IM GOING OUTSIDE!! I HAVE TO SEE IF ITS STILL OUT THERE. JOURNAL ENTRY 4; OH NOOO ITS STILL OUT HEEERRnkfkfkk ----- "

[@sirdinkus6537]

​@@yourface2464 Hard disagree. I don't like how interconnected and convoluted newer entries are. Many rely on knowledge of other equally convoluted SCP, not to mention the ever more ridiculous classification names and methods.

Goddamn, the voice acting is incredible. Especially towards the end.

[@Washeek]

Hi there, just wanted to be a member of a vocal minority for once. I loved it. I like the creativity that goes into some of these XK and other class world ending scenarios. Sure it's almost a whole different genre from the others, but I appreciate each SCP type for its strengths.

[@butchbabytoaster]

There's just something undeniably charming about eigenweapons for me. The fact that an organization dedicated to the study and containment of anomalies is sometimes forced to create their own anomalous superweapons in the defense of humanity is always intriguing, especially when it's done as well as 7450.

[@vintrontheexonite5745]

This one is great. It is a fantastic read and shows why the foundation is so cold and calculating. 05-1 is being kind by mentioning the human backup plan, but that causes a bigger problem. Humanity had a chance before with a horrible, unethical method but now by the foundations own actions its worse than if they did nothing.

[@TheSimpleMan454]

It's entries like this one that make me miss the days the SCP Foundation was a collection of articles about anomalous objects. I didn't mind the occasional bizarre creature/cryptids, odd locations, or sketchy agencies with paranormal ties. Hell, I actually even liked some of the ancient conspiracy stuff. But then we get "This is just the apocalypse. But it's so cool! And it's so impressive and epic and dark! And- and- and-"... It just gets a groan from me every time. No fault of yours Dr. Miller, just... these articles lack any sort of mystery or charm. It's "Rocks fall and everyone dies. The end." With extra steps. Dreary and completely soulless. It would be refreshing at this point to see something like a guitar that let's anyone play one flawless performance but then a string breaks and they loose any talent for music. Or a vindictive nightstand lamp. Or the one washing machine that opens the dimension all our missing socks fall into. Something that just gets to be interesting weird, not Eldritch Abomination weird.

[@F0rr0r]

I generally agree in terms of preference, but the beauty of these is that there's room for all types of stories and scenarios. I'll take the low-stakes and obscure with the highest-stakes and apocalyptic; so long as it's creative and well-written, I'll eagerly consume it all. I found this one to be a pretty compelling example of the latter.

[@Jogeta5]

This was less an entry and more a story, with anime inspirations (Evangelion and Madoka). A pre-SCP 2000 backup plan would have had the potential dangers of these four girls thought out and planned accordingly around it. The Foundation would not have been so reckless with a project so important. WIth AJAX being such an high-level unknown entity, causing the effects it did. We know the Foundation has emergency options available to them. The author didn't explain what happened to the far more powerful non-Foundation reality anchors and time travel and alternate universe devices. I thought it was a decent story well told by Volgun, but there's too much missing for it not to be an alternate future the Foundation avoids.

[@IllegalPlayer275]

Kinda reminds me of the 4 dark CPUs from Megadimension Neptunia VII. Kinda random, but it just came to me

[@paveldybowicz6089]

I've listened to this one for a handful of times and every time it's just as haunting and beautiful as the first time. True masterpiece from DjKaktus. I'm certain that this person is a genius author hidden within the SCP Wiki. Their world building is supreme.

[@micheljavert5923]

Wasn't AJAX referenced in another SCP? I remember one about a complex mechanism buried deep in the Earth that was keeping the Earth secret from some great celestial horror. But the concern was that the mechanism would only work for so long, and the Foundation was starting to see signs of failure.

[@andrewwilliam7890]

Yes! It took me like 20 minutes to find it, but I think you're talking about an SCP-001: "Past and Future" the SCP Explore Series did a video on it. A device meant to keep earth secret from an extraterrestrial race of evil humans who enslaved other people.

[@nxvh9062]

you might be thinking of scp 2317, which is strongly theorised as being a reference to the scarlet king, among other possible SCPs

[@yaboicrutches]

I have watched many SCP videos, but this one made me shift uncomfortably in my chair. Well done on the voice acting it really freaked me the f*** out LMAO

Just a comment on the height numbers given at the beginning - the smallest one is about twice the size of mount Everest.

[@smjsuperscott]

I find it interesting that so many in the comments seem to not like this one. The connections to other things in the lore as well as how it works and the mistakes that led to such a situation was top tier writing for me.

[@sssspider]

It’s far from the worst-written SCP I’ve seen, and isn’t even my least-favorite Kaktus piece, but it’s just so thoroughly uninteresting and brings nothing new to the table. Ajax is LITERALLY just a boring generic world-ender; thematically the girls are just a less-developed, less-interesting version of the Children that were used to erase the Kingdom of Abaddon; and the overall “whoops Foundation fucked up” storyline is played entirely straight with no twist. With the way things are presented it’s hard to say the Foundation even did anything wrong, they just swapped one hilariously overpowered and unbeatable world-ender for another.

[@smjsuperscott]

@@sssspider I enjoyed the quiet descent the foundation researcher went through becoming one of the last people on earth amidst a threat with extremely consistent yet unmanageable rules. He knew exactly how these things worked yet in knowing, realized he could do nothing. I feel that was the strength of the article, the human drama, rather than the actual SCP.

[@jamesmann9547]

Ah yes yet another djkaktus world ending anamoly that's impossible for the foundation to deal with.

[@974cerebrate]

I really think the writter should have focused on the teenagers's side a bit. They woke up as gods after all, the mental catastrophe caused by that could be a nice horrific story that would complement this déjà vu

After some research it apparently means the SCP has ended the world. Kinda weird how they can classify it as such since if it did, no one would be around to classify it. Though it's fiction and not everything is gonna make sense.

[@kzkaa.]

@@TheMadJester0 I think it's kinda like a zombie apocalypse in the sense that the end of the world does not mean the end of humanity. The world as we know it is gone, but humanity is still there.

Watching this, getting to the journal. First date, and video cuts to a small child, dressed fully like a French clown (makeup and everything, not cheap). Walking around in a kitchen, laughing. Filmed with sound, like it's an old recording made with 70s or 80s home video. I barely register that it is in fact a KZbin add, before it cuts to the second add. Then return to the video. I now sit here. More freaked out by a random add, than scared of the scp I'm learning about.

[@GreatGreenGoo]

I think these need to be reclassified as 'else world' stories. I know they pretty much already are but the fact that they are an SCP bothers me a bit. This would be the last SCP, as would the last Apollyon SCP and the one before that. an SCP is something that exists, filed and stored and can be dealth with one way or another. It can be all powerful but not all encompassing. It can be all encompassing but not all powerful. Once you have both. Its end game. Thats it, no more SCPs. The world is ended. It wouldnt even get so far as to be catalogued.

[@orangeglow57Official]

The SCP universe does not have a consistent canon. Many articles contradict each other. Stuff like this doesn't break anything, if you don't like it then you don't have to accept it as canon.

[@GreatGreenGoo]

@@orangeglow57Official I know, I realize that 'everything is cannon and nothing is cannon'. Its just my own personal opinion and observation.

Can't help but feel surprised that 4 (albeit unintentional) deities became trapped just walking the earth continuously. Like, even the guy who was transformed by the author into a reality-surpassing being eventually came to his senses regarding his new existence, or rather his new place beyond existence. The four poor girls should have retained/regained some of their faculties eventually.

[@punkuke]

Ooh, this one was really interesting. Is there an entry about AJAX as well, or does it only feature in this article? From what I can tell, it doesn't have its own entry, but I thought I'd ask.

There's no entry for 981-AJAX. It's like they didn't even have the time to classify it before they messed up with the 4 girls and created something worse.
