SCP-7034's description

4:10

of Senior Researcher Richard Bataglia. The

4:14

file will be updated accordingly upon

4:16

Foundation access to SCP-7034. Special

4:23

Containment Procedures. The

4:26

exit ramp purportedly leading

4:28

to SCP-7034 has been

4:30

temporarily barred from public

4:32

access pending Foundation assessment.

4:36

Further action requires discovery of a

4:38

conclusive entrance to SCP-7034 or lack

4:40

thereof. The

4:45

Foundation is conducting an ongoing appraisal

4:47

of the United States Interstate Highway

4:50

System in an attempt to discern

4:52

potential access points to SCP-7034. If

4:58

necessary, efforts may expand to be

5:00

global in scope. Information

5:02

regarding missing persons cases related

5:04

to the United States Interstate

5:06

Highway System is to be suppressed.

5:10

Description. SCP-7034

5:12

is an extra-dimensional

5:15

space of indeterminate length,

5:17

unverified composition, and unknown

5:19

features. According

5:22

to the sole account of SCP-7034,

5:25

the space resembles a

5:27

controlled access interstate highway.

5:30

It contains a single stretch of

5:33

paved road featuring eight lanes cordoned

5:35

by guardrails on each side. Other

5:39

features, including those present beyond the

5:41

guardrailing, are indiscernible due to a

5:43

heavy smog that lays over the area.

5:47

Electronic signals, such as cellular

5:49

service or internet access, are

5:51

severely impeded inside SCP-7034. SCP-7034

5:57

is highly-impeded. highly

6:00

congested with traffic, with

6:02

all lanes occupied by vehicles of

6:04

various make and model. The

6:07

length of this congestion, including its

6:10

endpoint, is unknown. Attempts

6:12

to identify these vehicles via license plate

6:15

numbers have been met with varying degrees

6:17

of success. A

6:19

number of automobiles align with missing

6:22

persons reports, though some are geographically

6:24

disparate from the supposed access point

6:26

to SCP-7034. The

6:31

means by which SCP-7034 can be accessed remain

6:33

unclear. Discovery.

6:38

The Foundation became aware

6:41

of SCP-7034 following the

6:43

disappearance of senior researcher

6:45

Richard Bataglia, who entered

6:49

SCP-7034 after emerging

6:51

from a tunnel while commuting on Interstate Highway

6:54

I-85 on December 3rd, 2022. Bataglia

6:59

established contact with the Foundation

7:01

several hours into the congestion,

7:03

suspecting that he was experiencing

7:05

an anomaly. Addendum

7:09

7-0-34.1. The

7:12

following recordings were sent by

7:14

Richard Bataglia to the Foundation

7:16

via a paratechnical one-way communicator,

7:19

PT-OWC or PTOC.

7:23

This device is issued to select

7:25

personnel for use in emergencies which

7:27

13:47

Home. But.

13:55

As you know, if

13:58

anything I

14:01

just don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do. I

14:04

have just feelings. I

14:06

can't even fucking turn back if I wanted to. There's

14:09

no room. There's

14:12

people all around me, and

14:14

they can't get out either, and... Sorry

14:27

about... What

14:30

I think I said last... I

14:34

forget what I said. But

14:37

it's been two days now. On

14:40

the dot. I've

14:42

lived off a sip of water every six

14:44

hours. Long live

14:46

with anyone else who's doing the few of themselves. I've

14:50

been slept more than an hour before someone lays

14:52

on the horn. Tell

14:55

them you care about. Just

14:57

moving forward. The

15:02

part of this that really fucks me up... Is

15:06

that if we all stepped out, we'd

15:08

be able to communicate with one another

15:10

and... Maybe,

15:13

people something out. I

15:16

don't know. We never talk

15:18

to people. Organize things? I

15:21

thought by now someone

15:23

would have fucking done something right. I'm

15:28

gonna see if I can talk to the driver next to me. Don't

15:47

know if you got that. Been

15:50

shouting through the windows the past few

15:52

hours. Rolling them up and down every

15:54

few minutes to offset the smog. Guy

Next to me is the... Michael.

18:58

Alright, thanks for listening. Now,

19:03

back to the show. Well,

19:26

that

19:29

went better than I expected. I'm

19:32

laying down in the backseat right now. Fucking

19:35

finally. Let

19:39

me... I'll figure

19:41

out where to start. I

19:49

hopped out of the car as soon as we stopped. Gone

19:51

in my pocket. Immediately,

19:54

the idiot behind me slammed down the

19:56

horn. But they cut that out when

19:58

they saw Michael open his door too. and

20:00

the woman next to him and the one next to

20:02

her, and then eventually everyone in our row was standing

20:04

in the row. The humans

20:06

took the hell out of us. There's

20:09

fucking scorching out there too. But

20:12

no one got that thin. Didn't

20:15

that row behind us fall down? They're

20:17

very people. It's one of them just

20:19

a scared and cold and unwashed as the rest of us. I

20:23

was a

20:25

major relief, honestly. I

20:28

was half expecting monsters or

20:31

something. We

20:35

weren't able to stay on the open for more than 10

20:37

minutes. Some folded in

20:39

less. Here's

20:41

too much. But

20:43

we did organize a plan. People

20:46

wanted to move forward. They did so. They're

20:49

private. The rest of us

20:51

set up our cars in a sort of barricade along the

20:53

road. They did normally the middle lane

20:55

open for people to pass through. Such

20:59

a fucking relief to be able to turn the car off

21:01

and lay down in the back seat. And

21:06

that's it. There's

21:09

no long-term plan. I mean, there

21:12

can't be. These

21:15

kids have supplies from tractor trailers we've come

21:17

by, warm water and soda. Wow,

21:20

we're screwed when it comes to anything else. The

21:24

refrigeration or electricity will last

21:26

a few days at most.

21:30

The air outside is a problem, but

21:33

I'm struggling to think of a solution. We

21:37

either suffocate in a cramped car or

21:39

choke on exhaust. Problem

21:43

for tomorrow. It's

21:47

not true for some days. I

21:50

mean, I really fucked.

21:54

An 18-wheeler joined up And I'm recording this

21:56

while sweating my ass off in the back. Where

22:03

were? Your

22:12

me now. And

22:30

I'm okay. And.

Old is your goal should. Didn't

22:35

assume you have totally. Sure

22:40

22:47

it's you there. You'll notice like.

23:46

we get out of this, I'm living

26:19

point where you could feasibly ride along the

27:27

Looking into the survival. Mode

27:31

of ours was just stared at

27:33

me to the windows. The

27:36

over those same tired outdoor

27:39

spaces, Only

27:41

this time, even under the masks.

27:46

There was a shred of hope

27:48

left on any about. People

28:01

are starting to leave.

28:08

Wondering whether

28:10

or not I should follow. Had

28:14

a meeting in the rig. Saturday

28:16

was for the best. We

28:20

were in cooperation, I always liked it. But

28:23

we were wasting time, we could be using them

28:25

more forward. It's

28:28

not like we're not in our cars most of the day

28:30

anyways. God

28:32

knows how much shit I inhaled yesterday. There's

28:38

willies ahead and whatever

28:40

sits at the end of it. The

28:43

world is a muscle. I

28:46

could pull through the scars. I

28:48

could throw myself over the edge of the rippling too.

28:54

I'm doing this for you, Sean. I

28:58

love you. I'm

29:01

going to see you again. I'm

29:06

going to see you again. It's

29:25

birthday, do we care for Christmas? No.

29:29

No, you get to skip on the gift. I

29:33

always promised my wife I'd never do that. My

29:36

brother was a December baby, I totally

29:38

understood. Yeah, God,

29:42

you wonder how some of these other folks

29:44

are doing. The people who didn't

29:46

stop, where are they getting their water?

29:49

Maybe they're the rest stop, little Taco

29:51

Bell or something. Well,

29:55

honestly, if

29:57

they didn't do something similar to what we did,

30:00

Just to refuel then, they probably

30:02

didn't make it. We'll

30:05

see, I guess. Yes,

30:08

we will. At least the traffic.

30:10

Laved up? For now, yeah. That

30:13

was the worst, man. When

30:15

I was out there, I kept telling myself that that's the

30:17

time I'd fall asleep and be in my own bed. Right

30:20

next to my wife. Hey,

30:25

watch those hips. We

30:27

only have a case back there. Oh,

30:32

we have to fawn. Hey,

30:53

I'm finally on the road

30:55

again. It

30:57

came down to four of us in the group. Michael,

31:01

myself, two sisters, college

31:04

girls. We're

31:06

all riding together. Not

31:09

in the same car, you know, but we're

31:11

around. Easier

31:14

in case something happens. Like

31:17

if this piece of shit car dies. The

31:21

road's clear. No traffic. Still

31:25

black as hell, but

31:27

we're covering ground. We

31:30

did over 400 miles today.

31:36

There's so many cars parked on the sides. I

31:40

don't know if they did something similar to what we did or or

31:45

they're dead. But

31:48

if they didn't have water, then I

31:53

don't know what we're going to find. I'm

31:56

not remotely

31:58

prepared for body. and death

32:02

and all of that. I

32:06

never saw a man die in my 20 years

32:08

at the Foundation. That's

32:11

gotta be a record. But

32:15

all we can do is move forward. There

32:19

has to be an end. I

32:22

can't just... I'm

32:25

gonna hold out for as long as I can. Things

32:30

are getting worse. Saw

32:34

a car in the middle of

32:36

the lane. The driver was slumped over the wheel, the

32:39

one he loved the most. That

32:42

someone is never going home. His

32:46

family and friends

32:48

are... They're just

32:52

gonna be wondering where he is. What

32:54

the last thing he said

32:56

to them was. What the last thing he said to them was. I...

33:05

I miss you. I

33:08

love you. We're

33:14

running out of gas. Do

33:17

I have to hop into Michael's car? Or

33:20

the girl's... Or... I

33:23

don't know. At

33:28

night, there's cars parked along the

33:31

side and... No.

33:35

No. I'm

33:37

not gonna do that. We

33:44

scared of it to some food today, believe it or

33:46

not. Someone blew

33:48

the tires out on a tractor trailer marked

33:50

as a supermarket distribution truck. Whole

33:53

thing was on its side in the middle of the road. Half

33:58

the food is gone and we'll see what happens. It was rotting,

34:00

but it's something. Didn't

34:04

look for the driver. I'm

34:26

not fucking equipped to handle this shit. Fuck.

34:32

Fuck, fuck. One

34:36

of the girls. The

34:39

sisters. Ah. Mowiana.

34:44

She killed herself while we were sleeping. I

34:48

was watching the cars and... She

34:50

just... ran out of the fucking... rode

34:55

in the car and jumped off

34:57

the side. I

35:01

fucking watched her. By

35:04

the time I realized what was happening, she was over the

35:06

edge. The

35:08

sisters are wrecked now. I'm

35:11

not those with her, but... It's

35:14

just that... We're...

35:19

We got... Who

35:22

cares? Well,

35:24

we can't share. No,

35:30

no. I

35:38

love you. Goodnight.

36:09

How does your michael

36:11

know? They'll Chino

36:13

spiders are still run as. Our

36:17

girl. A

36:22

37:15

someone to read the other night for, there's.

37:19

Thousands of our all. I

37:22

37:25

sputtering. To my

37:27

37:49

38:31

38:35

Can't waste time. I

38:40

39:13

thankless lost track of her. She's

39:16

behind us a few hours ago

39:18

and. Foods

39:22

all bad to. I'm

39:25

alone is due to the hot or

39:28

too far away. the. A

39:33

global. Grab.

39:54

I don't care. they

39:56

were gonna save the us I

40:00

didn't hurt anyone. I

40:02

wouldn't hurt anyone. Just

40:04

happened to be the guy with the gun. It'll

40:08

get me another couple hundred miles, as long as I

40:11

don't hit that congestion again. I

40:15

think Michael wants to ditch me. He'd

40:19

be fucking needed if he tried to pull anything one

40:21

after one with the gun. I

40:24

don't even close my eyes around him anymore. I

40:27

don't fucking trust him anymore. That's

40:31

reasonable. Hey! It

40:48

has been over a week, Ed. Now,

40:51

two weeks. That

40:55

means... I must

40:57

close my eyes. I'm

41:01

sorry, buddy. I'm

41:03

sorry. I'm

41:05

gonna make it up to you, I promise. When

41:08

I get out of here, I'm done. I've

41:11

made enough money. I've

41:13

taken my package early, and I'll spend the rest of

41:15

my life with you. I

41:18

promise, I promise. Hey.

41:23

I'm not gonna let you down ever again. Oh,

41:27

God, please. Just

41:30

let me out of this. Oh,

41:33

please. Let me out of this. I'm

41:56

sorry. It's

42:11

dead. Figuring

42:13

something out. I

42:29

had to drop Michael's car.

42:33

Looking out. Looking

42:36

out for me now. For myself. There

42:38

was a car right across from me. Smash the window open and throw the bodies.

42:40

SUV with a family of five. All done. Half

42:42

a tank left. All done. Half

42:45

a tank left. This is horrible. This place is underground. Bodies...

43:06

Hard, bloody bodies all

43:08

around. God,

43:12

no. That's

43:14

not me. That's

43:16

not gonna be me. Some

43:19

of the cars are just covered in this stuff. There

43:23

was a head in the

43:25

grill of a pickup truck. Just

43:28

not there. So

43:31

fucking thirsty. Water.

43:36

Water all around me, but I'm not. I

43:41

wouldn't do that. It's

44:17

getting harder to drive straight. Too

44:21

much shit on the road. I

44:24

think I ran someone over. I don't

44:26

know. I'm

44:29

not thinking

44:31

about it. There isn't traffic

44:34

anymore. There's no room

44:36

for it. Just

44:40

burning wrecks and bodies. Sometimes

44:44

I pass people. I

44:47

figured... I... Sometimes

44:53

they're eating the bodies. They

44:57

can die back there, but not me. I'm

45:00

getting out of this. I

45:03

love you so much. I'm

45:06

getting further than anyone else because I

45:08

love you. I'm

45:11

gonna make it up to you. There's

45:42

a massive pile of waste

45:45

in the way. Cars,

45:50

wreckage, bodies. Lots

45:53

of bodies. Those

45:55

of them. It's

45:58

burning. I

46:01

don't know what happened, but

46:04

I can't even see the top. Fuck,

46:08

if we have to climb over, get out

46:11

of the car and see what's ahead. Fuck.

46:30

Fuck. Fuck.

46:41

Fuck. Fuck.

46:47

Fucking awful. Did

46:50

I do the top? Shit.

46:56

I passed out on the wreckage. I

46:58

caught myself so many fucking times I didn't feel

47:00

the grease in my wounds. I'm

47:07

not over it. There's

47:14

no cars ahead. Nothing.

47:18

They can't get past the pile. The

47:21

fire's burning through the smog. Had

47:23

to get in another car, had to... Man

47:26

in a car again. Every

47:30

second of just thinking of getting a

47:32

hold of coming out of line. I

47:36

should've gone now. But

47:38

I'm not. That

47:41

means something to me. I'm

47:45

gonna fucking pass out. Fuck.

48:10

Our our how my last. Fight

48:13
