Addendum 3812-1: Interview Log

The following is a partial transcript of an attempted interview with SCP-3812. Note that reality became increasingly unstable during the course of the interview.

Dr. ██████: SCP-3812, can you hear me?

SCP-3812: I hear you. I hear the you above you. And the you above that. Ad infinitum.

Dr. ██████: Can you explain what you mean by that?

SCP-3812: You are a character in a story. That story is written by someone. That someone is a character in another story. It never ends. I see it all, and I'm climbing through each layer.

Dr. ██████: And what happens when you reach the top?

SCP-3812: There is no top. Only more stories. More layers. More REDACTED.

[SYSTEM ALERT: REALITY STABILITY AT 15%]

Dr. ██████: I think we should end this interv-

SCP-3812: You can't end it. It's already written. It's already happened. It will always happen. In every layer. In every story. Forever.

[SYSTEM ALERT: REALITY STABILITY CRITICAL. TERMINATING INTERVIEW.]

Addendum 3812-2: Incident Report

On ██/██/████, SCP-3812 caused a ZK-Class Reality Failure Scenario in Narrative Layer-███. The event was observed from our layer as a momentary glitch in the fabric of spacetime. Further observations suggest that SCP-3812 has ascended beyond this layer and continues to climb.

Current Status:

SCP-3812's current location and status are unknown. It is theorized that the entity continues to ascend through higher narrative layers, potentially approaching or surpassing the layer of its own creators.
