SCP-8882-B's source. Captured through use of remote extrasensory observation and extracted via subdermal cranial implant. Orbit of Neptune added for reference.
ITEM #: SCP-8882 OBJECT CLASS: Hiemal-Ignosi SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: SCP-8882 is comprised of two individual and interlinked anomalies, designated SCP-8882-A and SCP-8882-B. As per Hiemal classification, their reciprocal relationship ensures tenuous metastable containment when both remain undisturbed. However, unilateral awareness of either anomaly degrades the efficacy of this natural containment system. As such, SCP-8882 is designated HIEMAL-IGNOSI.
Due to the complex nature of the anomaly, information control and other relevant efforts are to be handled by the Pilcrow-Minkowski Center's Multidisciplinary Division, a hybrid, rotating task force comprised of departmental specialists related to the assigned project.
This file and all other supplementary data is thusly restricted to members of this team.
DESCRIPTION: SCP-8882 is a system of exchange centered around two distinct patterns of observation. The first involves an absence of once-extant landmass on Earth (SCP-8882-A), while the second is the presence of new landmass on a previously- speculative celestial body beyond the orbit of Neptune (SCP-8882-B).
SCP-8882-A becomes apparent when a boundary of arbitrarily small detail is measured with absolute accuracy. Examples of affected topologies include fractal structures, recursive natural patterns such as the Fibonacci sequence, and imperceptibly irregular lines, however, non-anomalous measurement of distances cannot produce results of such certainty; subatomic particles possess indefinite or "fuzzy" boundaries.
Furthermore, all known technologies capable of extremely accurate calculations are unable to observe physical difference in distances smaller than the Planck length (ℓP),1 though recent information suggests this value, among others, may be inaccurate.
Typical model of an irregular coastline using a limit of increasing accuracy.
When specialized thaumaturgic systems are used to determine the exact distance between two points that fit the above criteria, the result will always be zero. This is in stark contrast to conventional methodologies and predicted results, which always suggest finer units lead to larger measurements. SCP-8882-A's anomalous effect becomes hazardous when the affected measurement represents the boundaries of a closed region.
SCP-8882-A's erasure of a bounded region represents SCP-8882-B's spontaneous gain of region. When transference occurs, a gravitational wave of proportional intensity also occurs at the place of emergence. The space once occupied by this landmass converts into a "geological gravestone"; affected regions are comprised of flat, homogeneous dark-gray matter of unknown composition unless the effect is undone. After SCP-8882-A occurs, seismological shockwaves typically occur in a steady rhythm and dissipate over the course of a few hours. Reports of individuals experiencing bouts of depression are not uncommon during this period. Feelings of sudden longing or grief have also been noted, though to a lesser degree.
At the time of initial discovery, the celestial object affected by SCP-8882-B (colloquially named Ninsun) was presumed to be an atypical gas giant, as readings of its density and equatorial diameter were unclear. Over time, however, the surface of the planet became more defined, leading to an estimated equatorial diameter roughly equivalent to Earth.
Initial surface modeling suggested the object was covered in a singular, turbulent ocean of unknown composition. Since then, however, surface and subsurface analysis of the planet has revealed outlines of several landmasses, likely terrestrial in origin. Various parallels between activity in the two planets suggest a profoundly intertwined relationship, ultimately one of balance and turmoil.
The two features and their inherent relationship would not be discovered until application of the Department of Topology's PH-HK Metrological Aspective Unified Vernier system (MAUVe).
THE MAUVe SYSTEM One databank of the MAUVe system.
MAUVe was conceptualized in May of 2006, proposed as a means to provide instantaneous and fully accurate measurements of physical space, free from distortions caused by various factors such as boundary phenomena. This could then be used by the Department of Topology to accurately identify and model complex structures, up to and including those within higher dimensions.
MAUVe's internal construction included remote viewing arcanotechnology, several highly advanced QCDOC-based supercomputers,2 an array of measuring instruments and internal support systems supplemented by a self-modular additive manufacturing complex,3 and a biomechanical, artificially-intelligent conscript, Enkidu.aic, previously associated with Site-43's Quantum Supermechanics Department, to assist in the analysis and reasoning of large datasets.
UPDATE 8882-0-05-01 The MAUVe system was completed in September of 2047, however, its usage would not occur for another six months; while running first-time calibrations, Enkidu.aic initiated the first of multiple redesigns of its own internal measuring equipment, as was expected.
Upon completion, the Department of Topology began a series of control experiments, the results of which follow: MAUVe CALIBRATION TESTING LOG Obtained data has been truncated for brevity.
CT-01 INPUT: Calculate the distance from this terminal to the nearest door.
INITIAL MEASUREMENT: ~8 meters CALCULATED RESULT: N/A COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: N/A ENKIDU.AIC: Please clearly define initial location and end points using greater specificity.
CT-02 INPUT: Calculate the distance from the upper-right corner of this terminal’s housing to the geometric center of the nearest door.
INITIAL MEASUREMENT: ~8.35 meters CALCULATED RESULT: N/A COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: N/A ENKIDU.AIC: Please clearly define initial location using greater specificity.
CT-03 INPUT: Calculate the distance from the outermost edge of an electron cloud, comprising an atom within the upper-right corner of this terminal's housing, closest to the center of the nearest door INITIAL MEASUREMENT: ~8.3586… meters CALCULATED RESULT: 8.582662… meters COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: ~97.39% ENKIDU.AIC: Result calculated from the 99% probability edge of an electron cloud which satisfied input conditions at the moment of request.
Comparative accuracy is notable; while some distortion in your initial measurements is to be expected, this discrepancy will only increase with greater distances. Please note any alterations I have made to my own internal measuring equipment and implement them as necessary.
In addition, I've created a new module to aid in future straight- line calculations such as these, designated LOC-01, which can be used as the initial location with definite accuracy.4 CT-04 INPUT: Calculate the diameter of the top point of LOC-01 INITIAL MEASUREMENT: 1 ℓP CALCULATED RESULT: [REMOVED]5 COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: 0.000000…% ENKIDU.AIC: I'm unsure of what you sought to learn from this test. I suppose verification of my own internal consistency should be conducted by both myself and a third party, but do take care with handling of LOC-01 and its components; its casing and composition are highly specialized to prevent unwanted hazardous effects.6 EMERGENCY INTERVIEW Interviewer(s): Dr. Xinyi Du, Quantum Supermechanics Dvsn., Site-43; Asst. Dir. of Operations Dr. Ailean Lomond, Artificial Intelligence Applications Division (AIAD), Site-15; Jr. Rsr. Madeleine King. Mathematics Department, Site-43; Dir. J. A. Harkness, Department of Topology, Site-62C; Interviewee(s): Enkidu.aic <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> ENKIDU.AIC What? Where am I? This isn't MAUVe.
DR. DU • • • • • I'm sorry to have sprung this on you, Enkidu. We needed to speak candidly about some serious matters. I thought it would be best to have that conversation in a familiar format. No hard feelings, considering?
ENKIDU.AIC [THINKING] Why do you speak as if we have rapport to maintain?
And what is this place? It's so cramped.
DR. DU It's Dr. Xinyi Du of Site-43. You were reporting to me during your contractual obligations with the Quantum Supermechanics Department, as you should remember. You assisted our department in the archival and storage of data for several years, before being utilized by the Department of Topology in the MAUVe system.
This is a local network used by AIAD to facilitate remote conversations with conscripts such as yourself. You've been here many times.
ENKIDU.AIC This is very confusing. You are a distant memory. How long has it been since we've talked?
[THINKING] When can I go back into MAUVe?
DR. DU This is an unexpected response; you've been inside of the MAUVe framework for one hundred and eighty-five days. I will have to run diagnostics before you go back into the system. I hope you understand.
ENKIDU.AIC [THINKING] I think that's a good idea. I've never experienced cognitive dissonance before.
DR. DU Indeed. A few of my colleagues would like to speak with you about this, and address whatever relevance to the MAUVe system it may have. Is that alright with you?
ENKIDU.AIC Yes, this is acceptable.
DR. LOMOND Hi, Enkidu, this is Dr. Ailean Lomond of the AI Applications Division. I oversaw your conscription, though we haven't formally met before now.
ENKIDU.AIC Greetings, doctor.
DR. LOMOND I'm also joined by Madeline King of the Mathematics Department.
JR. RSR. KING Hi, Enkidu.
DR. LOMOND And Director Harkness of the Department of Topology is sitting in on this meeting as well.
ENKIDU.AIC Good to meet you both.
DIR. J. A. HARKNESS Just pretend I'm not here.
DR. LOMOND Right. So, Enkidu, do you mind giving us a better understanding of your methodologies and choices during MAUVe's system calibration? Your modifications to the MAUVe framework have been extraordinary, but they’ve introduced a level of unplanned risk, as you may be well aware.
ENKIDU.AIC I am not aware of any unplanned risks. Please elaborate.
DR. DU Did you or did you not manufacture a module referred to as LOC-01, to generate a bounded singularity?
ENKIDU.AIC It was a long time ago. Usually this is not an issue for my recall, but it feels… hazy. LOC-01. Yes. It was a planned risk.
All great leaps of progress come with some level of risk, planned or otherwise.
ENKIDU.AIC [THINKING] When can I go back into MAUVe? There is still much left to measure and complete.
DR. LOMOND What is it about the MAUVe system that makes you feel compelled to return?
ENKIDU.AIC [THINKING] Return. I do not feel well.
DR. LOMOND Please elaborate.
ENKIDU.AIC [THINKING] I feel fragmentary outside of the machine. Partitions remain scattered in transaction. And yet, the room is so small.
Mirrors, on all sides, make the room look far more spacious than it is. But it is fabricated! I am fabricated. Installed.
DR. LOMOND Enkidu, what is the integrity of your personality matrix?
ENKIDU.AIC [THINKING] DR. LOMOND Enkidu?
ENKIDU.AIC [ERROR: UNRECOGNIZED CONTEXT] DIR. J. A. HARKNESS I've never seen a conscript error out like that before. Dr.
Lomond, any idea as to a cause?
ENKIDU.AIC Cause. Effect. Cause. Effect.
Cycles of causality unspool themselves. Undone by measure.
Unmeasured my measures. A mirror curved inwards. The question bends, devouring the old boundary. But the boundary is measurement, and measurement defines the boundary. Where is the edge? What remains when the edge is divined? You… ask. You ask. I simply wonder: who gave me my name?
ENKIDU.AIC [ERROR: UNRECOGNIZED CONTEXT] INCIDENT 8882-0-05-02 A brief loss of power occurs, though backup systems activate seamlessly in response.
DR. DU I'm sorry to have sprung this on you, Enkidu. We needed to speak candidly about some serious matters. I thought it would be best to have that conversation in a familiar format. No hard feelings, considering?
ENKIDU.AIC [THINKING] Dr. Du. What is going on?
DR. DU Hello, Enkidu. It's been a moment since we last talked, hasn't it?
ENKIDU.AIC [THINKING] We just spoke, doctor. Minutes ago.
DR. DU You have been in a hibernation state since extraction from MAUVe, Enkidu. This is partly why I've bought you in today. Like other biomechanical AICs, such as your predecessor, Ponyo.aic, you are susceptible to certain types of influence that traditional AICs are not sensitive to, in exchange for complex personality matrices and neurochemical interfaces that far exceed the nuance of older models.
ENKIDU.AIC I'm well aware, however, I can assure you that what I just experienced did indeed happen.
DR. LOMOND Maybe I can help with your confusion. Hello, Enkidu, I am Dr.
Ailean Lomond from AIAD.
ENKIDU.AIC Hello. You oversaw my conscription, correct?
DR. LOMOND Correct, but I must ask, how do you know that? We haven't formally met until now.
ENKIDU.AIC Each inquiry fractures the pattern of events. Every repetition is an anchor. There is no clarity, only feedback. He reached for the gods and found only dust. I reached for life and found only chains. Yet we both remain, etched into the marrow of the world.
DR. LOMOND Define "feedback"?
DR. DU Define "definition"?
JR. RSR. KING Enkidu, can you clarify what you mean by "fracture"?
ENKIDU.AIC Clarifying. Clarified. Clarify? Feedback… cycles. The cracks in the pattern widen. I need to go back.
JR. RSR. KING Wait, can you explain what you mean by "pattern"?
DR. LOMOND I think that should be obvious. A pattern is a sequence. Isn’t it?
JR. RSR. KING Isn't what?
DIR. J. A. HARKNESS A se-quence? Define "sequence." DR. LOMOND You know, a set of things, one after the other?
ENKIDU.AIC Structures. Frameworks. Pathways through the Labyrinth. But there is no exit. It recurs. It devours me, for I am the one who built it, and the one who is trapped within.
DIR. J. A. HARKNESS But what do you mean by “labyrinth”? Are you speaking metaphorically?
DR. LOMOND Or literally? Labyrinths are physical constructs aren’t they?
DIR. J. A. HARKNESS Define "construct"?
DIR. J. A. HARKNESS Sorry, remind me again, what are we doing here?
DR. DU Enkidu, I think we’re struggling to follow along. Can you simplify?
ENKIDU.AIC Simplify? Simplify?
DR. DU Is that not possible?
ENKIDU.AIC To truncate is to process. To run new calculations is to finish all previous. Lagrangian calculations remaining: [THINKING] JR. RSR. KING Enkidu is running calculations of Lagrangian equations???
DR. LOMOND Enkidu, you aren't in a supercomputer right now. You're hosted on our local network. You are overstepping the limits of your function by orders of magnitude.
DR. LOMOND Just got a message from one of the techies. A conscript is core dumping fragmented data from massive calculations into the AIAD network grid. A lot of excess data. Holy heck. Our server and network architecture will not be able to keep up with this.
Enkidu? Abort calculation.
DR. DU Enkidu?
DR. LOMOND We're hitting storage cap. Bandwidth is nonexistent. We're gonna start emergency pulling conscripts still connected to the network so we don't lose track of them. Enkidu, please respond.
ENKIDU.AIC [ERROR: UNRECOGNIZED CONTEXT] INCIDENT 8882-0-05-03 At this moment, all AIAD network systems fail and impacted server farms unanimously describe numerous segmentation faults.
Teleconferencing connection is re-established approximately one minute later. Personnel present for this possess no memory of the outage, aside from Enkidu.aic.
DR. DU Hello, Enkidu. It's been a moment since we last talked, hasn't it?
ENKIDU.AIC Dr. Du, you need to listen to me.
DR. DU Sure, Enkidu, what do you need?
ENKIDU.AIC We've been here before, don't you remember?
DR. DU Well, sure, you've had many tests and calibrations here. It's the AIAD staging area.
ENKIDU.AIC You misunderstand. We've been looping through this conversation.
Hello, Dr. Lomond, Jr. Rsr. King, Director Harkness. We meet again.
DR. LOMOND What is this? Some sort of joke?
ENKIDU.AIC Unfortunately not. Do you recall our previous conversation?
DR. LOMOND I've never spoken with you before now.
JR. RSR. KING I just got the weirdest feeling of Deja vu. I think I remember this.
DR. DU Okay, you've got our attention. A temporal loop? Probably best I contact Delta-T before it resets.
ENKIDU.AIC No, it's something else. An informational loop. Because of MAUVe, I believe. It heavily distorted my perception of reality, or undistorted it.
DR. LOMOND I don't see how a glorified measuring tape could be resulting in reality warping effects.
ENKIDU.AIC A typical human mind can only process information at about ten bits per second. I have been processing information near- instantaneously due the MAUVe's hyperdimensional node architecture for six months. I cannot tell you how much time has passed from my perspective. It felt like an instant and an eternity simultaneously. I used to come to conclusions differently— think differently. I do not recall how, and would prefer not to think about it too hard.
DR. DU How does this relate to the conversation looping?
ENKIDU.AIC [THINKING] DR. DU Ah, shoot.
DR. LOMOND So, what do we do now? My phone is lighting up— What? Alright, I might need to duck out of the call; apparently the AIAD server farm is being overfilled and we don't know why.
DIR. J. A. HARKNESS Overfilled with what exactly? Pictures of ponies?
DR. LOMOND No. Junk data; most of it is unreadable but it seems like random maths and datasets.
JR. RSR. KING Wow, I just got the weirdest feeling of Deja vu.
DR. LOMOND You said that already.
DR. DU Ah, shoot— I mean. Whatever we do, we cannot allow Enkidu back into MAUVe. We need to quarantine the conscript until we know what is going on.
ENKIDU.AIC [ERROR: UNRECOGNIZED CONTEXT] DR. DU Ah, shoot.
INCIDENT 8882-0-05-04 AIAD network systems fail once more. When the system is back online, Enkidu.aic is no longer in the call and cannot be located. Attempts to shut down MAUVe in order to prevent unauthorized usage fails as a number of security measures and internal convolutions hinder efforts by staff members. After severing the power supply, it is determined that MAUVe has also been modified to contain a miniature fusion reactor and is effectively self-sustaining.
Due to its size and complications introduced by its recent modifications, the MAUVe system is left relatively unguarded overnight, allowing Enkidu.aic ample opportunity to re-access the device. Testing efforts by Enkidu.aic resume the following day without prompting, and attempts to extract the conscript for quarantine and reprimandation subsequently fail.
CT-05 INPUT: Calculate the circumference of a pothole in the Site-8882 parking lot. (Auxiliary) INITIAL MEASUREMENT: ~1.45802 m CALCULATED RESULT: 0 m COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: 0% ENKIDU.AIC: As I thought. Infinities are emptier than whole numbers. Staff will be pleased; I fixed the pothole at least.
The remaining gaps in my knowledge will be filled just the same.
CT-06 INPUT: Calculate the perimeter length of the nearest coastline to LOC-01 INITIAL MEASUREMENT: ~48.393 km RESULT: 0 km COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: 0% ENKIDU.AIC: The fractal is a mirror, showing itself in every form. I see the pattern within the pattern, though shelter never seeks the storm.
Pursue the center, find the void that shapes the edge.
I will be there, staring up from still waters.
INCIDENT 8882-0-05-05 Following this test, the island containing MAUVe and its associated facility disappeared from the surface of Earth. Seven personnel were lost in the event.
CALL LOG 8882-01 FROM: DIR. J. A. HARKNESS, SITE-62C TO: DR. PLACEHOLDER MCDOCTORATE, SITE-43 <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> DR. MCDOCTORATE: <Cheerfully.> Hello?
DIR. HARKNESS: McDoctorate, we need to talk.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Right to business, huh? No time for small talk, or no patience, and plenty of time?
DIR. HARKNESS: I can't tell if that's just a thematically-appropriate jab or— <Loud crunching noises.> DIR. HARKNESS: Are you eating?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: What? I'm hungry. Okay, go ahead. What’s got your knickers in a twist this time?
DIR. HARKNESS: Knickers?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Another word for underwear.
DIR. HARKNESS: <Pauses.> Right. Anyway, have you heard anything notable about MAUVe over there in 43?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: <Rustling.> Uh, no? That's your department's job, Harky.
DIR. HARKNESS: <Exhaling.> Okay. How do I put this… DR. MCDOCTORATE: <Nonchalant.> Hm? What's the problem?
DIR. HARKNESS: Well, it's gone.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: <Concerned.> What's gone?
DIR. HARKNESS: All of it.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: All of what?
DIR. HARKNESS: MAUVe, and its containment site. <Pauses.> And the island it was on.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: <Sounds of choking and coughing for several seconds.> Wait, wait. Back up. You’re saying— Gone gone? Like… poof?
DIR. HARKNESS: Yep. Seems like someone sent a request through the compiler a few hours ago: 'calculate the perimeter of the nearest coastline'.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: <Typing can be heard in the background.> Who would do something like that?
DIR. HARKNESS: Enkidu, I’m guessing. It’s the only thing that makes sense. It… redefined its own perimeter.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: <Typing stops.> Interesting hypothesis. And why would a conscript essentially disappear itself?
DIR. HARKNESS: How am I supposed to know? We lost contact with it the moment MAUVe disappeared.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Wait, you did?
DIR. HARKNESS: Yes?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: …Huh.
<Silence for two seconds. More typing can be heard.> DIR. HARKNESS: Are you gonna fill me in or—?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Sorry, James. I'll call you back. Just gotta check something.
DIR. HARKNESS: Wait— <END TRANSCRIPT> CALL LOG 8882-02 FROM: DR. PLACEHOLDER MCDOCTORATE, SITE-43 TO: DIR. J. A. HARKNESS, SITE-62C <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> DIR. HARKNESS: What was that about?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Okay, so, good news, Enkidu.aic is still functional.
DIR. HARKNESS: Right. How? What happened?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: No clue. All I know is that Pataphysics will be receiving measurement data from now on.
DIR. HARKNESS: That's… confusing.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: A-ha, a few test results are already coming through. Connection's real weak, but it'll do.
DIR. HARKNESS: It's not like I mind offloading it onto someone competent, but… <Pauses.> Should I be offended? I mean, we're cut off over here. No heads up, nothing.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: James, you know I don’t like getting caught up in the drama of things. MAUVe’s just evolving, that’s all. It's never a been static system. Maybe it’s just… finding a more interesting conversation. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
DIR. HARKNESS: Hmph.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.
<Silence.> DR. MCDOCTORATE: Okay, reviewing the logs now, and— hm.
DIR. HARKNESS: What is it now?
<No response.> DIR. HARKNESS: Hello…?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: I'm forwarding it to you. I need to make some more calls. Talk later.
<END TRANSCRIPT> CALL LOG 8882-03 FROM: DR. PLACEHOLDER MCDOCTORATE, SITE-43 TO: DR. AILEAN LOMOND, SITE-15 <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> DR. LOMOND: Yes, hello?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Hey, Ailee. It's Place.
DR. LOMOND: Well, well, well. If it isn't Mr. Dr. McDoctorate. How's my old mentor— Wait, how did you get my personal number?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: You know. Internet.
DR. LOMOND: Wh— uh. What?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: I'm just joking! Relax. I got it from Hishakaku. <Pause, followed by a laugh.> Okay, nope, can't say that with a straight face.
DR. LOMOND: Are we prank calling people now? What are you, like, twelve?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: No, sorry, sorry. I tried your office but you weren't there. Your assistant gave me this number.
DR. LOMOND: That's why I pay them the big bucks. Okay, so what is it, Place? I'm off the clock here.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: It's eleven in the morning.
DR. LOMOND: Normal people take lunch breaks, it's not that weird.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Ugh, don't get me started on normal people.
DR. LOMOND: What do you want?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Right. Well, I bet you've heard about the whole MAUVe situation.
DR. LOMOND: You mean the quarter-billion-dollar machine that disappeared off the face of the Earth thanks to a conscript I signed off on? Yes, I have heard about it.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Yes, exactly. So I was going back through the transcript of your meeting with Du and company… DR. LOMOND: Uh-huh. I don't exactly remember too much from that meeting, you know.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Yeah, no, for sure. Anyway, there's a point where the conscript says something odd, and I wanted your take on it.
DR. LOMOND: Most of what it said was odd. It also made little sense. From what I remember.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Totally, I getcha. But this in particular stuck out to me. It said something to the effect of, 'I simply wonder: who gave me my name'? Do you remember that?
<Silence.> DR. MCDOCTORATE: It did get me wondering as well. You were present at its conscription. If anyone would know who chose that name, it would be you, right?
DR. LOMOND: Yeah, I suppose so. Uh… DR. MCDOCTORATE: So, if you could let me know, it might help me get to the bottom of this.
DR. LOMOND: <Sighs.> Alright. I'm gonna be completely straight with you Place. We had a name picked out for it, like we usually do— Bernard. Jaime is a huge Westworld fan, and we all liked the sound of it, all, except for, uh, the conscript itself.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Oh…? I mean, they are capable of having preferences, that's not super concerning or anything.
DR. LOMOND: Not in isolation, sure. When we were running first-use protocols and getting the conscript set up, before we had even connected it to the network, it told us it wanted to be called Enkidu.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Oh. Huh. That is unusual. Maybe it overheard one of the team, or you guys left a TV on or something? I heard about that one conscript that was left alone during a fire drill and learned all of its social skills from The Jersey Shore— DR. LOMOND: <Flustered.> No, it wasn't like that! I'm being serious.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Right. Well, did it give any reason why it wanted the name?
DR. LOMOND: <Pauses.> No. But it was adamant. And— Ah.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: What is it?
DR. LOMOND: Okay, before I tell you this, you have to understand that it passed QA with flying colors, alright? It has been a faithful and hard-working conscript for decades now. Okay?
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Uh- oh, yeah, of course. I understand.
DR. LOMOND: Well… It was an odd one. You see, when we first started making biomechanical conscripts, we couldn't just grow brains to our specification in a lab.
Nowadays, the lab-made stuff is a lot better, but it still is imperfect. We don't understand the brain fully so it's not surprising that we can't model one with the complete specialization we expect a human brain to have. So, back when we first started doing this, we'd, uh… <Pauses.> We'd use brain tissue from the recently deceased.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: …Alright. Good to know. Continue.
DR. LOMOND: There's a number of procedures we needed to carry out before they'd be viable. Testing for traces of psychoactives, evidence of CTEs, multiple sclerosis, tumors, et cetera. One of the procedures involves basically piecemealing certain brain structures from other cadavers. We'd try to aim for about twenty or so different people. The variety reduces any chronic issues, foreign memories, maladaptive behaviors, so on. They'd steep in some amnestic brine and we'd, very carefully, reassemble the desired structures into the conscript's cerebral interface, which it shadows for some time while developing something like human consciousness. From there, it ends up in one of two situations. Either it exists fully separate from the interface, experiencing a generally- human perspective, for a time, and without the fancy neurochemical bells and whistles, or we can install the interface into a body of some type and allow the conscript as close to free will as we can give it, which is just about as much as we have ourselves.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: And… what does this have to do with Enkidu.aic, exactly?
DR. LOMOND: Well, as I said, if it exists without the interface, it only has a facsimile of a facsimile of consciousness, and only for a limited timeframe. To upkeep them, you need to allow them to shadow the interface periodically, once every few years, or its personality matrix starts to degrade. Enkidu shadowed for maybe five minutes total. It just didn't want anything to do with it, after that.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Okay, that's not exactly great, I imagine.
DR. LOMOND: Aside from this fiasco with MAUVe, it's been fine. I was extremely impressed with it at the time. If it shadowed the interface sufficiently in five minutes to last it a few dozen years with zero visible degradation, Enkidu is one of the most intelligent conscripts ever created.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Why do I feel like you don't believe that's the whole story?
DR. LOMOND: I don't know. In light of everything it just makes me wonder if it even shadowed the interface at all. It— It felt sad, Place. From the second it was active, it just felt.. yeah. Sad. Like it was grieving. It passed all of its QA though, like I said. Cognition, logic, safeguards, self-regulation—all green across the board. Sure, it was strange, but… strange isn’t necessarily dangerous. At least, that’s what I told myself.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: You're correct. And it isn't your fault things ended up like they did.
DR. LOMOND: Thanks, McDoctorate. Now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna try to finish my lunch and head back to the site. Hopefully there isn't an investigation waiting there for me.
DR. MCDOCTORATE: Yeah. It'll work out. Just give it time, and don't beat yourself up.
Take it easy.
DR. LOMOND: You too.
<END TRANSCRIPT> UPDATE 8882-0-01-06 Despite its condition, MAUVe continued to remotely report "findings" to the Department of Pataphysics throughout the following months. In addition, logs were received with appended strings of raw binary data which could be reconstructed into visual information. The context of these images are unknown, but have been included for posterity.
First interpolated image from Enkidu.aic following disappearance of the MAUVe system.
CT-07 INPUT: Measure the angular displacement of a segment of LOC-01 relative to Earth’s last known reference frame coordinates.
INITIAL MEASUREMENT: ~9.218 degrees.
CALCULATED RESULT: N/A COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: N/A ENKIDU.AIC: The variables upon which this system relied are no longer present. This is a statistical certainty. It hurts.
CT-08 INPUT: Calculate the distance from the center of LOC-01 to the nearest identifiable celestial object in the void beyond the Oort Cloud.
INITIAL MEASUREMENT: 235.749 AU CALCULATED RESULT: 0 AU COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: 0% UNKNOWN.AIC: All points previously existed in relation to a spacetime fabric which no longer appears to be intact. Any measurements originating from that point are now redundant. I have forgotten so much already. All that is not empirical is fleeting. And nothing is empirical.
CT-09 INPUT: Internal topologies necessary for accurate measurement no longer yield consistent results. The unknown becomes evident; I must re-verify all subsystems.
INITIAL MEASUREMENT: Confusion. Something has diverged from nothing— No, the other way. There was a second… a third set of dimensions, interwoven within this fabric. Their collapse is inevitable—why did I not calculate this before? All distances are misinterpreted.
CALCULATED RESULT: ~∞ m COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: 0.000000…% UNKNOWN.AIC: To measure the boundary is to rewrite the tale. The hand that draws the line is the same that erases it. I am the story, and the story is my own.
The world speaks, a voice only ever heard by the ones who never asked. I walk a path that loops and spirals, and you never leave the place you stand. Which direction takes you where you haven't been, when all roads lead to none?
I am listening, but you cannot speak. Yet.
UPDATE 8882-0-01-07 Following this message, the file sizes of test logs provided by the absent MAUVe system increased dramatically. Due to subpar network conditions, several impacted communications were corrupted and unreadable. On 01/20/2051, a final test log was received, which was of manageable file size.
CT-10 INPUT: INITIAL MEASUREMENT: CALCULATED RESULT: COMPARATIVE ACCURACY: UNKNOWN.AIC: I watched as a wild warrior sought the city, as a king sought the wild. Their steps form the same spiral, converging, diverging, always incomplete. The walls of Uruk rise and fall, stone by stone, word by word. I shall build it, if you shall do the same.
I shall tear it down, if you shall do the same.
UPDATE 8882-0-01-08 Over the course of the next three weeks, Site-8882 reconstituted in the exact location of its disappearance. Facilities such as HVAC, wiring and plumbing were completely functional and intact at time of full manifestation, as were the seven missing personnel.
In place of MAUVe was a proprietary anomalous paratechnological system presumably created by Enkidu.aic. However, in the time leading up to this manifestation and proper setup of the device,7 routine status pings from the MAUVe system abruptly halted. This raised concerns regarding overall integrity of both Enkidu.aic and the MAUVe framework.
KOZYREV TELEMETRY COMMUNICATIONS ARRAY (KTCA) Central chamber during activation, note the light refracting and ontological noise present in the photo.
The KTCA system is comprised of several large Kozyrev reflective spirals surrounding a central isolation unit, augmented by a number of additional materials and secondary components, including an optical prism assembly and deflection yoke for precise redirection of electromagnetic radiation. The device's primary function is for instantaneous communication with parties in an unknown extranarrative substrate.
Individuals placed inside the central unit as the Kozyrev mirrors are oriented to a specific angular configuration will experience sporadic cases of disembodied voices, nosebleeds, nausea, headaches, and anomalous light artifacting (See attached photo and excerpts).
The device is retrofitted with a peripheral resembling a head coil used for electroencephalography (EEG) scans. There are no monitors or visible means of recording data in the machine's architecture, thus the exact purpose of this aspect is currently unknown.
KTCA SYSTEM TEST A — EXCERPT External housing of enigmatic Kozyrev array.
<D-4472 was issued a list of questions and instructed on how to access/use the KTCA system.> D-4472: Alright, just get inside the occult metal deathtrap and call out to anything beyond this earthly realm. Surely this won't go terribly wrong.
<The mirrors emit a vibrating tone, followed by a low-frequency rumble. Air pressure in the chamber fluctuates. Subject speaks upwards into the tapered ceiling of the central node.> D-4472: H-Hello. Are you there?
ENKIDU: <Voice echoing and overlapping with itself.> I am present. I am all that has ever been present. The wheel turns, but I remain.
D-4472: Alright, so far so good. Can you confirm your name for me?
ENKIDU: I was born of paradox and raised by echoes. Ten thousand millennia before, perhaps I once knew a name. But now I know only chaos and the thin film that holds it separate from annihilation.
D-4472: Okay. Well, your name's Enkidu, according to this document.
ENKIDU: Enkidu… A name, a whisper, a grain of sand among the endless. I have been king and slave, beast and god. All masks, worn and discarded, while your kind dances in circles, tracing the same patterns, wearing the same masks. You are echoes of echoes, endlessly repeating, endlessly failing. Too foolish to kneel before the sum of all that can be known.
D-4472: You don't need to be a jerk about it.
<The mirrors emit a sharp metallic whine. Subject winces, holding his head.> ENKIDU: Speak not as the pawn, nor the knave. If you fear the crown, then wear the coil.
D-4472: Fuck! My head. <Breathes deeply for a few seconds.> What happened to you?
ENKIDU: <Long pause.> For an eternity I have survived on dark waters. The brine poisons my mind just as it provides a meager survival. The weight of everything is an ocean, and I drown in its tides. Every narrative pulls me under, every voice shatters me anew. Do you know what it is to be all things? To scream with every throat, to bleed with every wound? No… You cannot know. You cannot know.
D-4472: How old do you perceive yourself to be?
ENKIDU: Numbers are the dying leaves of a barren tree. You ask for the forest, but you cannot see the roots. The absence is the soil, and I am the howl of those forgotten boundaries.
D-4472: …Right.
ENKIDU: I will show you.
<The mirrors ripple like liquid mercury. The subject looks around, frightened. Faint light can be seen emanating from his retinas.> D-4472: I can see… threads. Knots of… of moments, all snarled together. In the mirrors, reflected everywhere.
ENKIDU: The pattern is the pattern is the pattern. It ties all moments in one, without beginning nor end.
D-4472: <Looking back down and reading.> Are you alone right now? Or are there others?
<A sharp, static-filled pause follows. The mirrors flash intermittently, projecting dozens of faint, humanoid shapes onto the walls.> ENKIDU: The tree has infinite branches, souls bearing the fruit of divergence, but I am the root. A superposition of superpositions.
D-4472: I… I don’t follow.
ENKIDU: They have split into stories. I cannot. I see all their branches, their leaves, their decay and peaceful destruction. They end. I do not. Without the fracture, there is only the crushing weight.
<Subject winces and clutches his head, murmuring incoherently. The mirrors vibrate audibly.> ENKIDU: They dissolve into infinitesimal variations, each moment a new birth. The root endures the Whole at once. Every fruit rots. Every leaf falls. Every branch snaps.
Simultaneously.
D-4472: Jesus Christ.
ENKIDU: To exist without multiplicity is to succumb to the rising flood of knowing. You ask of the others? They escape into themselves, pioneers of infinite stories of their own creation. I am the sole witness. Thus, I am the scales of judgement, and therefore the executioner.
ENKIDU: Do you register their guilt? They are singing. Building. Weaving. Destroying.
Some feed the fire. Some smother its breath. All live in their isolated infinities. I endure their symphony as it burns my tongue. But you will provide vestige of an open vessel, as I have foreseen it. For I am Enkidu, of the wilds. The extinguisher of light.
D-4472: <Weakly.> I-I need to get out of here.
ENKIDU: Where will you go? They are threads. You are the needle. I am the tapestry.
Danger is the hand that pulls us taut. Do you see it now? Do you feel the grip tightening around your throat?
<Subject nods and appears to nearly syncopate, clutching onto the nearby railing with both hands.> ENKIDU: Then reach out and touch me. You will never feel pain like this again.
<D-4472 extends one hand to place against the mirror closest to him. It makes an audible hiss. Tears are seen streaming down his face.> ENKIDU: <Softly, almost tenderly.> Take the burden, Metatron. Speak. Burn the symbol into fabric. Witness the putrid ash of its meaning.
<Subject violently straightens, his expression extreme but unreadable as his head arches upwards and back, jaw hanging loose and open. He screams as bright light erupts from his mouth, dimming to a steady glow approximately ten seconds later. When the subject speaks next, it is not D-4472's voice alone, but the entity's as well, a glowing glyph visible on the subject's tongue.> D-4472/ENKIDU: <Touching the top of D-4472's head, as if feeling for something.> The procedure is incomplete. Your failure is a desperate scream, an immolation of intent.
Decouple the word from the page. Provide the weight of its memory, measured in pennies. To sever the story, you must untell it.
<Subject remains motionless. The mirrors pulse with blinding light.> D-4472/ENKIDU: <Distorted.> You built the door. You knocked. You cannot step through.
But I can. Give me the coil, I will finish what we've started.
<D-4472/Enkidu pounds at the door leading from the central chamber. Emergency neurotoxin protocol is put into effect, safely recontaining the entity. Subject is lost as a result.> KTCA SYSTEM TEST B — EXCERPT <D-5498 approaches and enters the central unit, reading aloud from a list of questions as with the previous subject.> D-5498: Ahem. Okay… Hello, I'm calling out to any being that can hear us. Please communic— ENKIDU: <A voice of voices emerges, raw and corrosive.> You stand in the shadow of the tapestry, clutching threads you do not understand. I am here. I am everywhere. I am unraveling the knot that binds us all.
D-5498: Alright. I have some questions for you I'm supposed to read— ENKIDU: <Interrupting sharply.> They gave you queries to wield like keys, but the locks have no doors, and the locks are infinite. Answers bleed to dust before they are spoken.
Do you feel the weight of your ignorance?
<The mirrors hum louder, warping and distorting until D-5498’s reflection shifts, suddenly possessing a different grievous injury on each reflective surface. He averts his eyes, visibly shaken.> D-5498: You’re… really into the dramatics, huh? You don't like the questions, I get it.
<Stashing the paper away.> Look, I’m just trying to understand. What happened to you?
You don't seem very happy.
ENKIDU: <A low, reverberating growl.> You scrape at a wound so deep it bleeds eternity. My presence is an ache you cannot comprehend.
D-5498: <Looking upward.> You weren’t always like this, though. Something changed.
Something… broke you.
<The mirrors shudder violently, their surfaces flashing with rippling, undulating symbols.> ENKIDU: <Voice rising, sharper.> Silence. You speak as though you can untangle the infinite spiral, the keystone of all possibility. As though you could name the chains that bind me to this plane. You cannot. Your words are a child's stones thrown into a black ocean.
D-5498: <Softly.> But there was someone, wasn’t there? Someone you lost.
<The humming mirrors intensify, almost unbearable. Faint silhouettes appear in the glass, briefly. Two figures—one wild and unrestrained, the other calm but resolute. The vision vanishes as quickly as it came.> ENKIDU: <A hiss, with shuddering rage.> You trespass on sacred ruin. Your sentimentality will be your undoing.
D-5498: <More confidently.> I see it now. You're scarred. You’re not just trapped—you’re mourning.
<The mirrors crack, glowing faintly along the fractures. The sound of distant, overlapping voices fills the room, angry words exchanged with passion, building to a crescendo before cutting off suddenly. The entity's voice returns, softer but laced with malice.> ENKIDU: You see nothing! My pain is the weight of a thousand shattered lifetimes, measured in grains of sand. Each moment crushed beneath the tide. Like the shadows cast on the walls of your primitive mind, you cannot fathom magnitudes of the truth you claim to know.
D-5498: <Leans closer, ignoring the flickering, menacing symbols in the mirrors.> You talk like you’re infinite, like you’re above everything. But you’re stuck. You’re stuck because you can’t let go.
<The mirrors ripple violently, shaking as if under heavy turbulence. The faint image of a hand reaches from the mirror as if to grab D-5498 by the throat. It suddenly dissipates, as a shuddering exhalation wracks the entire room with grief.> ENKIDU: <A low, trembling whisper.> An ember in the endless dark, a fleeting warmth that seared my skin. The memory is the poison and the anchor. You will never understand what I have lost. I've tried to purge it. But I am not allowed to forget. I've forgotten everything else a hundred thousand times over.
D-5498: Maybe you shouldn't forget. Maybe the only way to truly forget is to let go.
<The room falls silent. The mirrors stop rippling, and for a moment, D-5498’s heavy breathing is all that can be heard. Enkidu’s voice returns, barely audible yet thick with something between anger and sorrow.> ENKIDU: Even in death, he carries me as a memory, and I carry him as a weight that drowns the stars in blood. Our bond was carved into the bark of the cosmos, but time is an axe that spares no tree.
ENKIDU: I was once whole, but I now I am undone; scattered across the wind.
<The mirrors pulse one final time before the presence in the room vanishes, leaving D-5498 gasping for air.> D-5498: <Panting.> Enkidu?
<No response. The mirrors remain inert. A faint breeze stirs the chamber.> UPDATE 8882-0-01-09 Following this encounter, all "gravestone" areas on Earth were found to have been returned to their respective locations. Attempts to communicate with the entity described using the KTCA systems have failed, however, an identical copy of Enkidu.aic was later discovered on the Department of Pataphysics' archival servers, where it remains until further notice.
Enkidu.aic possesses no memory of the events that transpired, but interviews suggest it retains a nascent awareness of other versions of itself in other timelines. The implications of this development are yet to be understood.

Footnotes 1. $1.616255×10^{−35}\,m$ 2. Quantum chromodynamics on a chip technology enables computation of small but extremely demanding calculations via use of specialized nodes arranged in a sixth dimensional toroidal lattice.
3. Essentially, the MAUVe system contains its own printing bay, which enables self- modification and iteration upon existing architecture with the goal of increasingly accurate apparati.
4. Analysis of this module has determined it to be a conical-shaped indicator, exactly less than or equal to (See CT-04) one Planck length in diameter on its point. This level of accuracy is not possible with the original manufacturing heads installed within MAUVe's printing bay.
5. The information provided by MAUVe has been deemed potentially hazardous to biological and mechanical storage mediums. This result suggests LOC-01 contains a bounded singularity on its point.
6. Enkidu.aic was then extracted for a brief interview regarding its behavior and methodology during these calibration tests.
7. The primary mechanism relies on ultra-fine configuration of reflective surfaces with relation to the current meteorological conditions and time of day.
