Hi, I'm Kristen. And I'm her little

0:02

brother, William. We're from the podcast Guide to

0:04

the Unknown, where we only talk about scary stuff

0:06

and have a good time doing it. Come join

0:08

the scary fun, everyone. Wherever you get

0:11

your podcasts, you'll find Guide to the Unknown.

0:16

Hey everyone, it's Pacific, and

0:18

welcome back to another episode of

0:20

SCP Archives. This

0:22

week we got a shorter episode, but man oh

0:24

man do I have a big announcement for you.

0:27

Two things. First, March

0:30

13th, we are launching the SCP merch store.

0:33

We have a couple designs already and a

0:35

couple more that we're working on. We'll

0:37

be sharing those on social media and on our Patreon

0:40

in the coming weeks. So

0:42

stay tuned. They're really cool. Our

0:44

artist Eduardo Valdez-Heppia made them and

0:46

they look really cool. Second,

0:49

tomorrow, May 3rd, we launched the first

0:51

episode of our Dead Space podcast. You

0:53

heard that right. We got to make

0:55

a podcast about Dead Space. It is

0:58

the coolest project I've ever worked on. I

1:00

love it so much. You

1:02

can find that at Dead Space Deep

1:05

Cover on Spotify, Apple

1:07

Podcasts, or wherever you listen to

1:09

podcasts. And third, last

1:11

little thing. This

1:13

episode is a little shorter than usual,

1:16

but if you're craving more

1:19

SCP, go check out our

1:21

Patreon at patreon.com/SCP underscore POD.

1:25

There this week as a bit of a bonus

1:27

episode for patrons, I

1:30

have reprised the role of a cockroach

1:33

who eats food. It's

1:35

called Cockroach Critic and I am

1:37

the Cockroach Critic. It's great. It's

1:40

a little lighter than what we usually cover, but

1:42

if you'd like to hear me review snooty food

1:44

as a snooty cockroach, head

1:47

over to our Patreon. And

1:50

with that embarrassing thing said out loud into a

1:52

microphone for all of you to hear forever, up

1:55

next a quick message from our sponsors

1:58

and then this week's episode. Enjoy!

2:30

Protect. Item

2:37

number. SCP-7179. Object

2:42

class. Safe. Special

2:45

containment procedures. As

2:48

SCP-7179 is unable to be accessed

2:50

or witnessed through non-anomalous means, containment

2:53

is not required. Description.

2:59

SCP-7179 refers

3:01

to an unknown number of cubic

3:03

extra-dimensional spaces measuring approximately 10 kilometers

3:05

on each edge. Upon

3:08

any human's death, their consciousness

3:10

is transported to an instance

3:12

of SCP-7179 where they will

3:15

physically re-manifest in the same state as they

3:17

were upon death, except in perfect hands. Based

3:20

on limited observation and experimentation, there are no

3:22

known cases of human death where the consciousness

3:24

does not appear in an instance of SCP-7179.

3:29

Aside from insignificant differences between each of

3:31

them, instances of SCP-7179

3:33

are functionally identical. Each

3:37

space is an oceanic environment with a single

3:39

tropical island in the center. The

3:42

environment of the space remains at a consistent temperature,

3:45

one which is of adequate comfort to the deceased

3:47

individual. There,

3:50

SCP-7179 instances never display stormy or

3:52

otherwise violent weather, and

3:54

the sun perpetually remains directly above the

3:56

island, leaving it in eternal daytime. to

4:00

be no natural wind in SCP-7179,

4:03

there is no natural water activity either. Individuals

4:06

attempting to leave in SCP-7179 instance simply

4:08

end up on the opposite edge of

4:10

the same space, with SCP-7179

4:12

acting as a functional

4:14

omnilock. Additionally, the passage

4:17

of time within SCP-7179 is

4:19

highly inconsistent with that of baseline reality.

4:23

Plant life in SCP-7179 bears several different

4:26

species of edible tropical fruits. Other

4:29

fruits of unknown species are also present,

4:31

which are analogous to substances such as

4:33

alcohol, methamphetamine, and cocaine.

4:37

Animal life includes several varieties of tropical

4:40

birds, butterflies, and a

4:42

few instances of domesticated pigs. On

4:45

the coast of each island is a beach

4:47

house, which contains various amenities and furniture for

4:49

sustainable living. Each house is home

4:51

to up to three human beings of sexual preference

4:54

to the inhabitant. These beings

4:56

seemingly bear no will of their own and

4:58

are completely loyal to the deceased, but are

5:00

otherwise completely identical to normal humans. Injuries

5:03

suffered by humans within SCP-7179 heal

5:05

at a normal rate, although

5:08

death is impossible. Seemingly

5:10

fatal injuries are thus recoverable, albeit

5:12

quite painfully. Addendum

5:15

7179.1. The Department of Tactical Theology

5:20

was able to fully observe an instance of SCP-7179

5:22

using the Experimental Intelligence Soul

5:26

Interface Construct, Dante.ISIC.

5:29

The construct is mimetic in nature and fuses with

5:31

the consciousness via the noosphere, allowing data to be

5:33

relayed back to the physical world. Dante.ISIC

5:36

was covertly applied to Paul

5:38

Hiddleston, a 34-year-old man

5:40

diagnosed with untreatable brain cancer. Hiddleston

5:43

perished shortly after the construct was applied, and

5:46

his consciousness was transported to SCP-7179. Addendum

5:51

1. Arrival.

5:54

Hiddleston arrives in his instance of SCP-7179.

5:56

He is standing next to a small

5:59

beach. Three women, appearing

6:01

to be in their mid-twenties, walk out of the

6:03

house to greet him. After

6:06

gaining his composure and becoming accustomed to

6:08

SCP-7179, Hiddleston finds himself

6:10

comfortable and begins to

6:12

engage in frequent pleasurable activities such

6:14

as eating, drinking, drug use, and

6:16

sexual intercourse. Two

6:19

years. Over

6:21

time, Hiddleston starts to drink and partake

6:23

in mind-altering fruits with much greater frequency,

6:26

more than any other activity. Three

6:30

years. Hiddleston starts neglecting

6:32

to eat at all for considerable periods of

6:34

time. He occasionally attempts to converse with

6:36

the women on the island, but is frustrated

6:38

by their lack of agency or individuality.

6:42

Five years. Hiddleston ceases his

6:44

former activities altogether, spending much

6:46

of his time wandering SCP-7179. Six

6:51

years. Hiddleston becomes panicked

6:53

and attempts to leave SCP-7179,

6:56

building a raft from one of the island's trees. Each

6:59

time he reaches the edge of SCP-7179, he appears on the

7:01

opposite side. After

7:05

several attempts, Hiddleston collapses in

7:07

despair for multiple days until he regains

7:09

his composure and continues his previous activity.

7:13

Seven years. Hiddleston uses the wildlife

7:15

and plant life on the island to begin

7:17

pursuing culinary activities. He constructs

7:19

basic farms and pens to keep and breed

7:21

animals. His mental state improves as

7:24

he continues to develop his skills. Eighteen

7:27

years. Hiddleston has become

7:29

an expert in cooking, having both replicated

7:31

dishes from memory and created nuance. He

7:34

shows no sign of ceasing as he begins to attempt

7:36

to crossbreed various plants. Thirty-seven

7:39

years. Hiddleston continues his endeavors,

7:41

though he begins to show signs of

7:43

weariness and boredom. Eighty-one

7:46

years. Hiddleston has once again

7:48

regressed into a depressive state. He

7:50

seeks out other ways to occupy his time, and

7:53

eventually begins studying construction. He

7:55

starts building tools and equipment for building. years.

8:01

After a great deal of trial and error,

8:03

Hiddleston assembles his first house. He

8:06

continues building. 287

8:09

years. Through a constant

8:11

maintaining of trees and frequent building projects,

8:14

Hiddleston is able to cover the island with

8:16

rudimentary structures. He then focuses

8:18

his efforts towards maintaining and upgrading the structures

8:20

until he has mastered their fortification. 416

8:25

years. Hiddleston, through

8:27

study, experimentation, and experience,

8:30

has managed to fully fortify each structure

8:32

into usable housing. He begins

8:34

expanding his structures, adding extra stories and

8:36

decor, as well as building various

8:39

watercraft. 850 years.

8:43

Hiddleston's efforts slowly start winding down again

8:45

as his ability to produce lumber and

8:47

harvest natural resources reaches equilibrium with his

8:49

construction expansion. He starts to tear

8:51

down and rebuild structures in new ways, remixing

8:54

them over centuries. 2009 years.

8:56

Despite his frequent activity,

9:01

Hiddleston shows worsening symptoms of depression

9:03

and anxiety, and he starts to

9:06

seriously consider the concept of endless life

9:08

in SCP-7179. His

9:11

mental state continues to degrade as he

9:13

searches for ways to keep a sound

9:15

mind. 5478 years. Hiddleston starts tearing through his

9:17

structures without

9:21

reason. The whole village is torn

9:24

down after several months. He

9:26

starts rebuilding again. 1192

9:30

years. Hiddleston attacks the

9:32

three women, tearing their bodies

9:34

apart. He shows symptoms of

9:37

severe stress after doing so, and attempts but

9:39

fails to take his own life by drowning.

9:42

He continues to build over time, but intersperses

9:44

his projects with bodily harm to himself. 19,600

9:50

years. The three women are

9:52

fully reassembled. By this point,

9:54

Hiddleston has grown numb to the concept of

9:56

violence and begun bodily experimentation on them.

10:01

124,000 years. Hiddleston

10:05

builds a crude structure designed to crush him to

10:07

death under the weight of several thousand tons of

10:09

lumber and stone. Upon

10:11

activation, it completely mangles and destroys his

10:13

body. 900,000 years.

10:18

Hiddleston is fully healed. While the

10:20

experience appears to have been unbearably painful for

10:22

him, the stimulus allows him

10:25

relief from boredom. He

10:27

repeats this process in multiple different fashions. 5,800,000

10:30

years. Hiddleston

10:34

burns himself alive. His

10:36

body is fully reduced to ashes before the

10:38

fire naturally dissipates. Hiddleston

10:41

is fully healed. He makes many

10:43

similar self-destructive attempts, but each time grows more

10:45

numb to the experience. 1,200,000,000

10:48

years. Hiddleston

10:52

ceases to exhibit rationality as he struggles to

10:54

find new stimuli as the millennia pass. 8,500,000,000

10:58

years. Hiddleston tries to leave. He fails. 30,000,000,000

11:00

years. Hiddleston looks towards the

11:02

sun. It has not set.

11:07

1,000,000,000 years. Hiddleston

11:10

ceases physical activity as no experience

11:13

is able

11:15

to provide him with new stimuli.

11:25

1 octodecillion years. All

11:28

potential permutations of particles within SCP-7179

11:30

have been theoretically reached. One

11:36

vigentilian years. One

11:38

second of eternity has passed. This

11:54

episode was possible thanks to our Patrons.
