Starting point is 00:00:05 The second the lights go out, I know we are in the right place. The lights going out also means we are probably about to be in deep shit, too. But that's what we're trained for. So I keep the creeping dreaded bay and focus on the job. Plunk fuse? Cruz asks over the comms. Our tack team is six deep, with three to a team. Stavits and drill are on me in the north end of the mansion,
Starting point is 00:00:30 while Ramel and Knox are backing up Cruz in the south end. Nah, I say. We had the tech sweep the place. They'd have picked up the faulty wiring. Yeah, well, they swept from outside, Stavitts adds as he moves slowly, carefully on my three. He doesn't say anything else. He doesn't need to.
Starting point is 00:00:49 We've been a tack team for three years now, and we know that an external sweep by the techs don't mean jack shit once you're inside a site. Because inside, a site can quickly become a whole other world, sometimes literally, depending on the assignment from command. So far, this place just goes dark and stays an old, spooky mansion. It doesn't end up transporting us to some parallel dimension or hellscape. I'll take the inconvenience of lights out over an army of screaming demons any day of the week.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Knox asks, his voice tight and controlled over the comms. The anomaly sticks to the shadows? I wish it said what the hell it thinks the thing is. Driel says. Couldn't it give us a hint? It said it was dangerous and old. Rommel responds over the comms. Not good enough, Driel says.
Starting point is 00:01:45 It couldn't make a guess. It can, but it doesn't like to. And let's keep the chatter down, I respond. Because the bronze lizard also said the thing has heightened senses. It can hear us coming. What I don't add is that it probably already knows we're here. We're professionals. We have to always assume we're being watched or tracked or, on too many occasions, hunted.
Starting point is 00:02:08 At no point do I think any of us believes the lights going out as a blown fuse, no matter how old the mansion is. Senate Manor, one of New England's most notorious old houses. Built by a shipping magnate in the 19th century, the mansion hosted an untold number of parties and events for the region's wealthy and elite. When the bronze lizard said we were coming here, I made everyone bone up on the place's history. standard practice for attack team sure, but the bronze lizard says that what we may encounter is far from standard.
Starting point is 00:02:44 In other words, just another day at the office. I approach a corner and hold up a fist. Stavits and drill come to an instant stop behind me. Peking my head around the corner of the corridor, I duck back quickly and take in what I saw. Blood. So much damn blood. I whisper into the comms. No one responds. but I know they're listening. I hold up a finger and point forward. Stavitz grabs my shoulder, and I look back at the man. His helmeted head shakes back and forth.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I frown. I'll take point, he mouths. You keep us on track. He's right, and he knows he's right, because he doesn't even wait for me to give the go-ahead. He just slips past me and eases around the corner. In any other tack team, he'd have his ass handed to him by the team leader,
Starting point is 00:03:39 But I'm not that kind of TL, and we're not that kind of tact team. Driel and I fall in step behind Stavits, our rifles sweeping back and forth as I cover our three and nine, and Driel covers our six. There are three clicks in my ear, and I give three clicks back over the comms in response, letting the rest of the team know we're good. Stavitz walks us up to the bloody mess, pausing just before the toes of his boots touch the congealed pool of blood, spilling off a rug that is so saturated that he can't hold any more in its pile. Jesus, the rug was probably worth as much as we all make in a year. The fact that this mansion hasn't been completely looted tells me almost as much as the rumors and legends surrounding it do.
Starting point is 00:04:27 1929 and the party stop. The political events and charity auctions, the holiday celebrations like the Christmas tree lighting or the Easter egg hunt. All of it ends in 1929. Could it have been the crash in the stock market? That is likely, especially since all the local newspapers, and even a couple of national ones, seemed to think so. Every time a yearly event was missed,
Starting point is 00:04:52 some reporter took note and wrote it up in the society pages. But no one was ever given an answer, and the owners of the mansion, the senates, went completely silent. So after a few years, the press moved on. The Great Depression was raging by then, So there were many more pressing stories to report than the decline of one of New England's great houses. I'm guessing this is what the Bronze Lizard picked up on, Driel says, his voice low as he looks at me. What do you think, Anders? That looked like six or seven people's worth of pulp to you?
Starting point is 00:05:27 More like over a dozen, Stavich responds. The Bronze Lizard said he was getting a flood of memory so fast it was hard to count. You can count six or seven. This mess is way bigger than that. You an expert on. own spooky immortal bronze lizard stabits, Trial asks, chuckling. Because I'm not. SCP 6767 has yet to steer a tack team wrong, I say. Surprised at myself, for sticking up for an anomaly like SCP 6767. I've never met the bronze lizard in person, but the thing has a good reputation back on site.
Starting point is 00:06:02 So I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Also, unlike SCPs 6767, I don't absorb the map. memories of all the dead on earth. So not only do I give the bronze lizard the benefit of the doubt, I give it a freaking break. That can't be fun. Having dead people's memories shoved into your head all day and all night. I mean, how many people die on this planet every damn day? It's something like two or three people a second, which means it's got to be close to 150,000 every 24 hours. That's a lot of damn memories. I'm guessing that being made entirely of bronze, must help keep the creature from going mad, unless it is already mad. In that case, we're royally
Starting point is 00:06:45 screwed." I count 28 different bodies, Stavitt says. Approximately. I could have double counted some of the eyeballs, but I don't think I did. And there are more than 28 different hands, so we could be looking at 30. Before I can say anything, a short, sharp squeal erupts over the comms, and I hiss. Quiet on the comms, I say. We'll report as soon as we have something. The bronze lizard on comms. This can't be good. What the hell? I whisper.
Starting point is 00:07:20 This is a secure line and only for TAC Team Delta 309. You aren't authorized to be... I am my terrarium. So this has been sanctioned by higher channels of that help... ...since any distraction could get me or members of my team killed. Communicating about T. Lander's. I hear the bronze lizard gulp loudly before clearing its reptilian throat. As you may have already discovered, there is no one left alive inside the mansion. I study the blood-drenched rug, the gore splattered walls, and the dripping ceiling. Yeah, I can't argue against that assessment.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Cruz, what do you have? We aren't seeing anything yet, but that doesn't mean we won't round a corner here in the south end. Cruz replies over the comms. That is unfortunate for those poor people, but none of you have time for sympathy right now. SCP-6767 says, I have some troubling news that you all need to pay attention to. Go ahead, SCP-6767, I say. Or do you have a different name?
Starting point is 00:08:31 Can we call you 67 instead? I'd rather you didn't. The bronze lizard replies, Due to all of the unvaccinated young people dying from measles, I have a wealth of knowledge on youth trends, and there is currently a trend called 67. It is best to refer to me as SCP-6767. It's your name, so it's your goal.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I say, Now, what's this news? Troubling news. Got it. What's the troubling news? The bronze lizard gulps again. As you all know, I absorb the memories of all the dead. Usually, at least 95% of the time, stick with me for eternity. I say and twirl my hand in the air, showing my impatience to drill and stavits.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Are there any memories that pertain to our current situation? Yes, and quite a few that no longer exist. I share a worried look with my teammates. What do you mean by no longer exist? Did some of the people not die? Oh, no, they all died. Every last one of them. I saw it all.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I wait. And wait. Six-seven? You still there? Because I have an operation to complete. And my team and I kind of need to focus on that. 36 people walked into the mansion this evening just as the sunset. The bronze lizard says, finally getting to the point.
Starting point is 00:10:00 All 36 of them were killed, not long after sundown. The lizard's gulp is almost like a gunshot in our ears. But I have retained only 24 sets of memories. That means that 12 of the victims are now in a state that negates my collecting of their memories. Because they are alive? If that's the case, then we need medical backup immediately so we can set up a triage area and... No, no, Tia Landers, they are not alive. An even bigger gulp this time.
Starting point is 00:10:30 That's the problem. They are quite dead. A sigh echoes over the con. I wish I could say that I have not witnessed this before. I asked, my inside's going cold. You said we're here to take out one individual. That's what we were told back at the facility. Are you saying we have 12 more to deal with now? At least 12, yes.
Starting point is 00:10:57 SCP 6767 answers. I'm afraid that you and your team have stumbled into a brood. A brood? What kind of brood? I ask, knowing already that the answer to that question will not be good. The more information you can give us the better my team can... I don't get to finish the sentence
Starting point is 00:11:15 as gunfire and screams erupt over the comms. It's so loud that I yanked the earpiece out of my ear before I go deaf. But even with the comms earpiece removed, I can still hear the gunfire and screams echoing through the building. And it's all coming from the south end of the mansion. I adjust my comms unit and jam my earpiece back in as drill and stavits take a knee,
Starting point is 00:11:38 each facing a different direction. covering our position completely. Cruz, report! The screams stop, and all I hear is gunfire. Then that stops too. Cruz, Ramel, Knox, report now! I cycled through our team channels, just in case they switched it up. But there's nothing.
Starting point is 00:11:57 The response is, only silence. Oh dear, oh dear, I am so sorry. SCP-6767 says, I should never have mentioned Senate manner to the doctor. It is beyond your team's capabilities. What is? What exactly are we dealing with? I shout as I spin around, still on my feet. I aim at the far end of the corridor.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Then I aim at the wall to my right, then at a thick shadow where the ceiling meets the wall. I squint into the gloom and bring up my helmet's HUD, making sure I'm locked on the thermal imaging. There's nothing there, as far as the AI and my HUD can tell. But I've been at this a while, and I know not to rely on tech. I switched to night vision, plunging the environment into deep greens and grays. There, movement. Above us, one o'clock, I whisper.
Starting point is 00:12:46 The moment that Driel and Stavitz both pivot on their knees to look in the direction of whatever it is, it strikes. Driel screams as he is plucked up off the floor by his head. The sound of his neck snapping tells me everything, even as his body goes limp as a rag doll. Then his head is separated from his body, and Driel's blood, geysers, out of the neck stump as his headless corpse tumbles onto the already blood-drenched rug. I am so sorry. SCP-67 shouts over the comms. I hear an argument.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Then the comms go dead. T.L. We got to move. Stabbitt says as he jumps to his feet and grabs me by the arm. Go, go, go! He's right, and I don't argue. We both turn and race back the way we came, the map on our huds, showing us the path to the mansion's front entrance. Command! This is T.L. Anders with Delta 309. We need immediate ex-fill. Confirm location. We should be there in less than three.
Starting point is 00:13:41 All the wind is knocked out of me, and I can't keep track of what is happening until I slam into a side table, shattering the piece of antique furniture with my fall. I am not a small man, so for something to slam into me so hard that I fly across the corridor and destroy a piece of what looks like heavy oak, well, let's say that I don't need to piss again anytime soon. T.L. Stabbit shouts, then unloads his rifle. Shaking off the impact, I get to my feet and pull my sidearm since my rifle is yards away. And looks like it's been twisted into a pretzel.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Christ Almighty, what is attacking us? I racked the slide on my pistol and hunt for a target. The corridor is lit up in bright flashes of muzzle fire, and I can hear the bullets whizzing by my head. Watch it! I shouted Stavitz, just as his magazine clicks empty. Without missing a beat, Stavitz ejects the magazine and slams home a fresh one. but he never gets a chance to fire again. I watch in horror as he is lifted up off the ground by the back of his neck.
Starting point is 00:14:40 What's behind him has to be seven feet tall, since I can see its boots on the floor, even with stavits dangling in front of it. Boots. It's wearing boots. And if it's wearing boots, then it wears clothes. And if it wears clothes, then we're dealing with a human. Or humanoid, considering the line of work we're in. I aim for the boots and fire. A hissing screech fills the corridor, and Stavitz is tossed aside.
Starting point is 00:15:07 His body hits the wall with a sickening crunch. Is he dead? I don't know. SCP 6767 could probably tell me, but it sounded like that end of the conversation got cut off as things started going south. South, shit! Crews and Ramele and Knox! I have no time to mourn my teammates as a violent shadow races at me,
Starting point is 00:15:28 then picks me up off my feet and carries me at a dizzying speed down the the corridor. The ride comes to a painful end as I am slammed into the end wall. Stars fill my vision, as does a face. Hello, food. A voice made of evil and mucus snarls. Thank you for grumbing. The man is pale as a sheet with incisors larger than a German shepherds. I don't need SCP-67 or any of the eggheads back at the facility to tell me what I'm dealing with. And the bronze lizard was right. This is beyond our capability. This is an ancient evil that even the foundation is wary of confronting. Our father, who art in heaven, I begin, but don't finish as I'm flung 30 yards down the other corridor.
Starting point is 00:16:14 30 yards gives me time to tuck my shoulder and roll with the impact when I hit the floor. It still hurts like all hell when I slam into the old hardwood, but I don't feel or hear anything break. I know SCP-6767 was prevented from giving us its theory on what we might find, especially after the brass gave wrong intel a few months back to team PSI-1108, resulting in the obliteration of that team, as well as several square blocks in Minneapolis, so I don't blame the lizard for not saying what was probably obvious. Senate Manor has got one serious vampire problem.
Starting point is 00:16:48 It's coming for me so fast that I only have time to pull my combat knife from my right boot and hold it out blindly. A bit of luck comes my way, and I hear the howl as the creature gets a piece of the blade. That hurt me. It screeches in that nasty, flemy voice. How did that hurt me? Not my first rodeo, you piece of vamp trash!
Starting point is 00:17:08 I shout as I stumble up onto my feet and keep the knife pointed at the shadow, hunched, and crouched on the floor a few yards away. I added a streak of silver to my knife years ago. Want a closer look? The streak of silver has saved me on more than a few occasions. You have no idea how many cryptids are allergic to the stuff. Not that this is a cryptid.
Starting point is 00:17:28 No. This is something. way worse. I slash at the air and the creature hisses at me, but it doesn't lunge or make a move in my direction, which gives me a little time to study it. And I don't like what I see. Senate Manor went quiet in 1929. This guy before me is definitely dressed in modern clothes, bloody and torn modern clothes, but obviously made by Vietnamese kindergartners and not the small fingers of Irish sweatshop kids like back in the early 20th century. A fucking drone is what is in front of me, not the boss I need to take down if I'm going to cleanse this place of the evil that has taken up residence.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Where's your maker? I snarl at the drone. Eat shit levy. It says, then spits a wad of bloody snot at me. The glob lands a couple of feet away from me and turns the part of the carpet runner it lands on pure black. I'm the only one you'll be dealing with. The thing is probably right. He's the misdirection, not the actual attack.
Starting point is 00:18:27 and I highly doubt there was ever going to be an actual attack. This guy is stalling so it's brood mates, and possibly the maker, can get away. Command! We need a full cleanse at this site now! I shout into my comms. The vamp leaps at me at the same time, but I'm ready. I tucked my shoulder, letting the creature sail past me, while also stabbing upward with my knife, gutting the thing from stem to stern. Cold putrid entrails spill out over my arm, and I shake them off quickly, but not quickly enough.
Starting point is 00:18:56 A vamp's body is one caustic hunk of undead flesh. The entrails and black blood start to dissolve the sleeve of my uniform like one of those xenomorphs in that alien movie. I drop my knife and strip off my gear as fast as I can. I'm standing in the corridor shirtless with a forearm that looks like it was stuck in a microwave for about 30 seconds too long. But the blood and goose violence has already abated, so I don't lose any more skin or flesh.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I'll have a bitch of a sunburn on that arm for a while, though. T.L. Stavvitz croaks. Stardled and more than surprised, I rushed to his side. Careful to sidestep the bubbling and dissolving vamp corpse in the middle of the corridor. Stav, you good? How bad is it? I ask as I kneel next to him. My finger goes to my earpiece. Command, come in. We need medical e-back and a full sight cleanse now. No. Stavitt says with a cough. Dark blood splatters the inside of his helmet's visor. Ain't gonna... I'll get you out of here. I say and wrap my ear.
Starting point is 00:19:59 arms under him, ready to lift him up and around my shoulders. He screams, and I yank my arms back fast. Stavitz looks down at his body, and I follow his gaze. He's got a table leg sticking out of his midsection. It was hard to see in the tangle of his tactical gear and torn bloody uniform. Ah, shit, Stav! I say and shake my head. He reaches up and pats my body, which confuses the hell out of me until I see what he pulls from the cross-straps on my chest. A grenade. I nod. He nods. I help him pull the pin, then I get up and run as fast and as far as I can. I'm in the next corridor when I hear snarls and hisses behind me.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Then the grenade goes on, which puts an end to those snarls and hisses. It also puts an end to Stavitz. There's a crackling in my earpiece. A voice echoes over the comms. Delta three. My back against the wall and the stink of charred flesh in my nostrils, I sigh and answer. No. I sigh again.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Delta 309 has been eliminated. The voice asks. Yeah, and no need to send medical. I'm good, and there's no one else left. I'm heading to the closest exit. What's the ETA on the cleansing drop? There's a long pause. Long pauses in times of crisis are never a good thing.
Starting point is 00:21:19 ETA is two minutes, Anders. But I can hear a butt in your voice command. Yes, but you do not need to find an exit. The implication hangs in the ether of the comm system, a heavy weight between command and me. Understood. I say as reality hits home. I can't say that I blame you.
Starting point is 00:21:40 We cannot risk an infection getting outside Senate Manor's property line handers. You already said you understood, so I won't explain it to you. No, I get it. These vamps spread fast. I slumped to the ground and take my helmet off. The air isn't exactly fresh,
Starting point is 00:21:58 but it's real and not recycled. I want real for my last few breaths. Hey, command? Yes, Anders. Can the bronze lizard say goodbye for me? It'll get my memories. So can it say goodbye to my girlfriend and my siblings? Doesn't have to be a call.
Starting point is 00:22:17 A letter is fine. But I want to write it or dictated or whatever. Not you or any of the brass. It'll know what to say better since it'll have my memories. Another long pause. I'll see what I can do, Anders. I'll see what I can do with shorthand for not a chance in hell. I tried at least, I say.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Snarls and hisses echoed through the mansion. I can tell they are converging on me. Command, you better get a move on with that cleansing drop, I say and pat my body, this time looking for my own grenade to use. The last thing you want is for me to get turned and find a way out of this place. We've already instituted a breach protocol here at the site, as if you have been compromised, Anders. All codes have been changed. You couldn't get in if you wanted to.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Good call, Command. I look down at the grenade in my hand and pull the pin. I let the catch snap off and fly away across the corridor, where it clatters against a painting that looks suspiciously like a real Rembrandt. Too bad this place will be nothing but smoldering rubble in a few seconds. I bet there's a couple of fortunes worth of goods just hanging on the walls. The hisses and snarls grow louder, and I see shadows up the ceiling crawl around the corner.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Hey, command, tell the bronze lizard it's not his fault, I say. He tried. We'll do, Anders. ETA is now 20 seconds. I don't have that, I say as the shadows leap at me. Then the world is a bright flash, and my last mission comes to an end. SCP-6767 is a small, sapient reptile composed entirely of beryllium bronze alloy. SCP-67 has exhibited neotony and functional immortality.
Starting point is 00:24:05 via the involuntary shutting of its outermost layer when severely damaged or oxidized, revealing a younger instance of SCP 6767 underneath. SCP 6767 is capable of communication via both vocalization and telepathy, however prefers the former due to the difficulty of evocative telepathy. Due to SCP 6767 being entirely composed of beryllium copper alloy, and the fact that it regularly sheds its outermost layer. Most radiological dating methods are unfeasible. SCP-67 has stated that it is currently in its early 4,600s after Dr. Callahan asked it directly.
Starting point is 00:24:50 SCP-67 claims to have access to the collective memories of all currently deceased individuals. This includes in-depth knowledge in nearly every field of study and craft, esoteric or otherwise, as demonstrated by SCP-6767 when prompted. This is further corroborated by its knowledge of highly classified information. Lasagne sur-surgellé, puissance-molyne for 15 minutes. We're like it's their dojo. Pre-to-joo?
