The audio logs tell a more personal story, and an even more chilling one.ĭr. 6.8 billion people, and they all have become this. Oh, and they are conclusively out to get you. The flesh zombies congregate into burbling, breathing masses of almost-sentient waxy goo, limbs reaching out of the mass. As SCP-001-A may reconstitute within the digestive system, only small portions should be consumed at a time to prevent blockage. This is only to be considered as a last resort in the absence of other options. Testing has revealed that SCP-001-A is relatively safe to consume. Compromised personnel are to be abandoned. The containment procedures build on this, and add some more fridge horror: "Personnel exposed to SCP-001 are to be considered lost. It instantly killed 95% of the world's population upon activation. An unexplained event caused visible light rays from the sun to be able to anomalously melt people into living, malevolent flesh zombies. Motile organisms will attempt to orient themselves in a fashion reminiscent of their previous form, to varying degrees of success. Upon completion these organisms (SCP-001-A) take on a gelatinous consistency.

Despite this restructuring, at no point do living organisms perish. The time this takes is largely dependent on the level of exposure and size of the organism. Visually, this is reminiscent of melting wax. Upon contact with visible light produced by the sun, living organisms liquefy at the point of contact, with the effect spreading until the entire organism is converted. The effect is similarly present in moonlight. The SCP-001 effect does not seem to result from exposure to ultraviolet rays, but rather light in the visual spectrum (~390 to 700 nm). resulting in ~6.8 billion casualties within the first twenty-four hours. SCP-001 is the designation given to the Sun, after an event on Data lost: ec172. But then you get to the first version of the SCP file, and the truth is - in a word - horrific.


This builds the tension, raising more questions about what exactly has happened in this dark scenario.

Approaching the terminal, you can clearly see the blinking light of the power button.Īs the computer powers on, footsteps of a thing seemingly hunting for you get closer and closer, but don't see you and go further on. But we begin with it, as you escape into an abandoned Foundation shelter, running from some monster and barricade yourself in an empty, long-forgotten room. It describes what happens to you as you are reading the file. This is important, and slightly jarring when you first see it. SCP-001 "When Day Breaks" tells the story of humanity going extinct in an apocalyptic future, told through a masterful and horrifying combination of normal-format SCP writing mixed together with prose.
