This was the first time both Marvel and SCP audiences witnessed a truly terrifying antimemetic entity.
Even though they couldn't see it, even though it never directly appeared, the fear it brought was undeniable. An invisible pressure lingered through the live stream, pulling everyone into an uncomfortable silence.
---
On screen, James stood before the camera, holding a dusty VHS tape.
"I found this videotape in one of my lockers," he said, his voice unusually heavy. "Only after injecting an X-class memory reinforcement agent did I even know it existed."
He gently touched the tape's surface, his eyes dark. "I don't know who recorded it… or who put it there. But what I do know is this—"
"The Antimemetics Division once existed."
Not a single person dared to deny it this time.
One of the Foundation supervisors leaned forward. "Could this all have been caused by SCP-3125?"
In response, James silently held up a document.
Everyone watching instantly recognized it.
---
Project Name: The Escaper
Item Number: SCP-3125
Object Class: Keter
---
The term Keter sent chills through many in S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury narrowed his eyes.
"If this was what destroyed the Antimemetics Division," he muttered, "and caused mass casualties, then this… this must be something far worse than any normal Keter."
Its anti-memetic nature made it infinitely harder to contain, let alone remember.
---
The screen flickered again, and more data appeared under Special Containment Procedures:
> SCP-3125 is contained at Site-41 within Cognitohazard Containment Unit 3125. The unit is a sealed 10m × 15m × 3m chamber, lined with lead, acoustic dampening materials, and telepathic insulation.
Only one person may enter the airlock at a time, and they must exit before another is allowed in.
---
Site-41. Again.
The mention made several supervisors visibly agitated.
"We've checked the entire archive," the second supervisor said, voice cracking. "There are no records of any Site-41!"
That left only two possibilities:
1. Site-41 doesn't exist.
2. Or, it existed—but knowledge of it was erased by antimemetic effect.
Given everything unfolding… the second answer seemed far more likely.
---
More chilling details followed:
> No information from within may be allowed to leave—written, spoken, visual, electronic, psychic, or otherwise.
Anyone exiting the containment unit is subject to memory erasure via amnestic gas.
> A high-ranking member of the Antimemetics Division is to inspect SCP-3125 once every six weeks.
---
The audience had barely absorbed that when a new twist hit them.
On screen, James flipped through the file… and then froze.
"The file just… stopped?" murmured one of the supervisors.
James switched to the Foundation's data terminal and attempted to search for SCP-3125 manually.
Instead of a result, a five-digit code lock appeared.
"Encryption?" one of the Foundation overseers gasped.
James's calm voice cut through: "Enter the wrong passcode, and the file locks down for a week."
---
A tense silence followed.
The livestream comment feed exploded:
> "Are you kidding me? We finally find the file and it's locked?"
"If the Antimemetics Division is gone… then who even knows the code anymore?"
"Don't tell me we're never gonna find out what SCP-3125 is!"
Even S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were becoming restless.
But then, a quiet voice spoke: Maria Hill.
---
"Actually… there may still be one person who knows," she said softly.
Nick Fury stared at her. "Everyone from the Antimemetics Division is either dead or mind-wiped. Who are you talking about?"
Maria looked at him, then at the screen.
"James."
Fury blinked. "But… his memory—"
"He used an X-class memory enhancer," Maria replied firmly. "Not just once. He used it again."
---
On screen, James pulled out a second syringe.
Supervisor Ten, who had previously tried recruiting James, frowned. "Didn't you just inject that serum earlier?"
James nodded calmly. "Eleven hours ago."
---
Another voice added:
"Class X memory enhancer was originally a failed anti-aging serum. Restoring memory is a side effect…"
Er followed up:
"It can safely make someone younger by 30 days. But if you try to go too far back… 16 to 18 months? You're risking death."
He stopped.
Everyone stared.
James wasn't hesitating.
He injected the crimson liquid into his arm.
A surge of energy burst through his body.
And then—
He smiled.
"I remember now."
---
He typed:
5-5-5-5-5.
[Beep! Verification Passed!]
The screen blinked. The true SCP-3125 file loaded.
---
This version was nothing like the sanitized summary earlier.
> SCP-3125 is not contained in the traditional sense. It has already penetrated all of reality—except for the containment chamber at Site-41. That room is the only place where its influence can be blocked.
> All forms of communication and data must remain within the room. Any exit triggers memory purging.*
---
Tony Stark, watching from his tower, sat up straight.
"Everywhere in reality?"
Colonel Rhodes muttered, "That explains why Wheeler was attacked after speaking with the old man…"
This wasn't a physical creature. This was an infection that lived in knowledge itself.
---
More horrors surfaced.
> SCP-3125 is a hostile, transdimensional memetic complex—a tangle of ideas, not matter. It entered from outside our reality, and partially overlaps it.
> It evolved in a mental ecosystem far more violent than ours. Humanity has no natural defense against it.
> Once infected, victims become slaves to its will. They stop accepting normal ideas. They look the same but are no longer human.
---
The old man from earlier came to mind. His possession, the spider-like appendages, the erratic behavior—he was already lost to SCP-3125.
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stared at the screen, some in disbelief, others in fear.
SCP-3125 didn't kill by force.
It consumed you through knowledge. Through ideas. Through memory.
No virus could compare.
A thought... more deadly than any weapon.
---
Nick Fury, still silent, now stared at the screen with haunted eyes.
The more they learned, the more vulnerable they became.
---
> SCP-3125 hasn't fully entered our world yet. But if it does, within 4 to 12 hours, it will rewrite all human thought. All knowledge networks, systems, and identities will collapse.
> Every concept—civilization, family, community, culture—will vanish.
> The Foundation has designated this an MK-class end-of-the-world scenario.
---
MK-class: Total Loss of Human Consciousness.
That phrase made even the most battle-hardened heroes freeze.
The livestream fell dead silent.
Then came the prompt:
---
> MK-Class Doomsday Scenario
Definition: Complete destruction of human consciousness.
---
The Marvel universe went into collective shock.
People stared at their screens like statues.
> "Is this… the end of thought itself?"
"This thing is just an idea, but it can end civilization?"
"How do you fight something you can't even remember exists?!"
---
In Kamar-Taj, The Ancient One stood motionless before the light curtain.
All her centuries of wisdom, magic, and cosmic perception… and she had never seen anything like this.
Not Dormammu.
Not Thanos.
Not even the Time Stone could
prepare her for SCP-3125.
"Total loss… of human consciousness," she whispered.
Her hands trembled.
This wasn't a monster.
This wasn't even a god.
It was a conceptual predator.
---
An idea evolved to destroy all other ideas.
And it had arrived.
