WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:07.280 They call him the Grill Master. At least, he says  they do, never clarifying who calls him that.  00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:11.840 But he’s got the custom-printed apron to  prove it, worn over his flannel shirt. It   00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:17.560 features orange flames over a black material, a  skull with two spatulas crossed underneath it,   00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:22.960 and his assumed title emblazoned at the top. He’s the Grill Master, and nobody can take that   00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.520 away from him. His barbecues are legendary, famous  throughout the state… or at least known about by   00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:32.880 the other fathers living on the street, either  because they’ve been to one before or witnessed   00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.720 the huge column of smoke billowing upwards from  behind the house and blotting out the sunlight.  00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:43.120 Flames roar from the barbecue, beers are being  chugged, kids are running around screaming,   00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:48.840 all under the scorching heat of the Florida sun.  The Grill Master stands proudly at his station,   00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.840 smiling to himself in the knowledge that this  could well be his most famous cookout of all. He’s   00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.600 never hosted one this attended before; it’s sure  to make the neighbors forget about the divorce.  00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.040 One of the kids rushes over to him,  wielding a blue and green water gun:   00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.560 trouble. The Grill Master warns them not  to spray near the fire, but the kid just   00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.040 giggles in response. It’s all a game to them,  they have no idea the reputation on the line.  00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:19.400 The Grill Master issues another warning, but the  unruly child protests, whining that they just got   00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:24.200 this water gun at a yard sale and they haven’t  been able to shoot anyone yet. With a sigh,   00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.640 the Grill Master closes the lid of the barbecue,  protecting the precious meat from the stream of   00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:33.920 water he’s expecting to be fired any moment now. Sure enough, it streaks through the air and   00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:39.480 splashes him, seeping through his custom apron.  The child is placated, and the Grill Master goes   00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:45.880 to wipe the water with his hand… only to feel  an intense burn against his skin. He recoils,   00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:51.280 staring at his hand in horror as the skin  begins to melt before his eyes. He tries   00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.840 desperately to pat himself dry, only for the  searing pain to reach his chest as whatever   00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.760 the corrosive liquid is melts its way through  the fabric and starts eating away at his flesh.  00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.840 Little does the Grill Master know, as he falls  to the ground, writhing in pain, something tiny   00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:13.400 is being carried through his bloodstream,  wriggling its way into its new home: him.  00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:19.120 A suburban summer barbecue that ended in chaos  sounds like perfect folly for the SCP Foundation.   00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.120 It didn’t take long for the Foundation’s  operatives to swarm the small Florida town,   00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.240 managing to stay undetected thanks to the  wide-scale administering of amnestics on   00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.680 the local populace. None of the neighbors, nor  any other local residents, ever remembered what   00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.280 had happened: the creature they’d seen, and  the unfortunate victim that had become its   00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.200 host were scrubbed from everyone’s memories. Local hospital and employment records for the   00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:46.720 man were expunged, and what was left of an  injured civilian was taken into Foundation   00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:51.840 custody – along with anything else from the scene  of the incident that could serve as evidence.  00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:56.400 Foundation scientists immediately got to work  examining the man, who was suffering badly from   00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.560 chemical burns. However, the researchers’ focus  was on trying to determine the exact point of   00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.520 origin of something that had manifested  inside his body when he’d been sprayed.  00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.400 Some scattered suggestions arose about  making an attempt to separate the two,   00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.760 to try and save the civilian’s life from  whatever had bonded itself to him. An   00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:19.520 assessment revealed that the man the creature was  now seemingly using as a host was still alive,   00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:25.000 but rapidly losing brain and motor function. As a result, saving his life was deemed by the   00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.760 finance department to be an inadequate allocation  of Foundation time and resources. Researchers at   00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:36.600 the Foundation were told to ignore the man’s pleas  for help and instead focus solely on the creature.  00:03:36.600 --> 00:03:41.200 It didn’t take them long to determine the  obvious: that whatever this organism was,   00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:46.800 it was unlike anything found on Earth. From  closer testing and examination, it seemed that   00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:52.440 what had bonded with the human host was some kind  of unidentifiable unicellular organism – which the   00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:58.520 Foundation scientists took to nicknaming ‘Kelvin.’ They were able to take a closer look at Kelvin,   00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:03.160 discovering that the single-celled life form was  largely comprised of an organometallic polymer,   00:04:03.160 --> 00:04:08.680 and enamine chains. As well as being radically  distinct from any life form native to Earth,   00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.800 Foundation researchers were baffled by how  exactly this tiny organism had embedded itself   00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:21.120 in a human body… or, more concerningly, why? Based on its structure and chemical composition,   00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.360 the unicellular creature didn’t seem at all  suited to survive in the conditions within a human   00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.000 being’s body. The Foundation’s top scientific  minds were able to run a number of simulations   00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.520 to determine the perfect environment for housing  an organism such as Kelvin would be a liquid   00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:40.440 solution of dissolved methanol, formaldehyde,  and acetic acid, along with various salts.  00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:44.240 Of course, these chemicals all naturally  occur within the human body. Methanol,   00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.200 also known as wood alcohol, is, in  fact, present in a number of organisms,   00:04:48.200 --> 00:04:53.760 including animals and plants, as well as human  beings. Fresh fruit and vegetables, some fermented   00:04:53.760 --> 00:04:59.400 beverages, and even diet sodas that contain  aspartame are all good sources of methanol.  00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:04.480 Formaldehyde and acetic acid are both derived  from methanol as well and are commonly created   00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.720 via chemical reactions in order to be used as  the base materials in products like acrylic   00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.120 plastics and synthetic fabrics, making all there  of these chemicals present in clothing, adhesives,   00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:20.400 and paint, as well as within a human body. As part  of the metabolic process, humans naturally produce   00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:25.440 around an ounce and a half of formaldehyde, as  well as acetic acid, which actually helps to   00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:31.040 metabolize certain fats and carbohydrates. However, while all the necessary chemicals   00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.800 and salts for Kelvin’s survival were present in  the body it was now living in, that didn’t mean   00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:41.760 that the single-celled creature was necessarily  suited to being inside a living host. For one,   00:05:41.760 --> 00:05:47.640 a human body is, itself, a more complex organism  than a unicellular life form like Kelvin. As a   00:05:47.640 --> 00:05:52.680 result, the body’s natural defense systems made  it a dangerously hostile habitat for unexpected   00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:58.480 visitors. Human antibodies typically don’t take  kindly to intruders and will often attack foreign   00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:03.880 cellular bodies in order to protect vital organs  and keep them functional. The same way that a   00:06:03.880 --> 00:06:09.720 human body protects itself from viruses was also  defending the unwilling host against Kelvin.  00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:14.760 Although Kelvin was draining its host’s metabolic  system of methanol, formaldehyde, and acetic acid   00:06:14.760 --> 00:06:19.800 to survive, thus weakening the immune system, it  wasn’t enough to prevent antibodies from attacking   00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.760 the unicellular life form. The longer the man was  kept alive, the more antibodies he was producing,   00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:29.840 and these were eroding holes in the  cell wall that protected Kelvin.   00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:35.160 So, once again, the Foundation scientists faced  another dilemma: did they keep the host alive   00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.040 and help his body reject Kelvin, or did they  experiment with strengthening the single-celled   00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.040 organism in order to see what happened? The decision was deferred from the   00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.000 research team up the chain of command. The  finance department made the same case that   00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.400 the Foundation’s resources were better spent  on understanding this single-celled anomaly,   00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:56.720 but the ethics committee was quick to argue that  the Foundation’s job was to protect the public   00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:03.240 from anomalies. By letting Kelvin’s human host  die, they’d be abandoning their primary mandate.  00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.360 Eventually, the decision reached the O5 Council,  who were alarmingly quick to sidestep the ethics   00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.720 committee’s concerns and approved the research  team to keep Kelvin alive and functional,   00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.160 no matter what it did to the host. So, following the orders of the council,   00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:22.400 researchers focused all their efforts on Kelvin.  They were able to introduce and synthesize a   00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:27.280 solution containing all the necessary chemicals  that the unicellular creature needed to survive,   00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:31.960 a cocktail of methanol, acetic acid,  salts, and formaldehyde, which they   00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:36.560 then introduced to the host’s bloodstream. Sure enough, this abundance of the chemicals   00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.240 it needed for nutrition only strengthened Kelvin,  so much so that within days, it was able to resist   00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.400 antibody attacks. The cell wall surrounding  it was impenetrable, and the near-microscopic   00:07:47.400 --> 00:07:52.400 organisms’ mass started to rapidly increase  the more essential metabolic chemicals that it   00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:57.800 absorbed—both from the scientists feeding  it and what little its host had left.  00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.720 Within weeks, Kelvin’s host resembled a withered,  desiccated zombie more closely than a living   00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:07.920 human being. Intravenous bags of synthetic  metabolic chemicals were hooked up to his body,   00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.920 with Foundation personnel instructed to  disregard his weak pleas for someone to   00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:17.360 help him. A few raised concerns whenever his  heart rate lowered to the point he had almost   00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:22.400 flatlined, but this only ever resulted in an  electrical jolt that jump-started his regular   00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:29.120 heartbeat. All the while, Kelvin was being fed. Scientists had been observing the unicellular life   00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:34.800 form through specialized microscopes, meaning they  hadn’t noticed the change right away… focusing in   00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:40.960 on the same spot soon became akin to staring  at a singular drop in an ocean. Taking x-rays   00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:46.600 of the host suddenly showed a dark mass spreading  out within their chest cavity. It was clear that   00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:52.880 Kelvin had undergone something of a growth spurt. Where it had started as a single cell,   00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:57.280 since the Foundation had started nurturing  it, Kelvin had begun producing its own mass   00:08:57.280 --> 00:09:02.320 within the human host. Before long, it  was substantially bigger, so much so that   00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:07.920 it was observable without the equipment needed  before. However, some of the scientists weren’t   00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:13.920 exactly put at ease when they noticed alien  twitches coming from beneath the host’s skin.  00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:17.920 It quickly became apparent, even to  those who hadn’t seen the x ray images,   00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:24.280 that Kelvin had changed in shape as well as size.  The creature seemed to have fit itself within its   00:09:24.280 --> 00:09:29.480 host's chest cavity, but the more rapidly it  grew, the more it posed a risk of becoming too   00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:35.040 big to stay inside the unfortunate human.  Three appendages, thought to be arms or   00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:41.840 legs were curled up right over where the man’s  stomach should have been displacing his organs.  00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.920 The rest of Kelvin’s newly grown form seemed to  vaguely resemble a sunfish, one of the largest   00:09:46.920 --> 00:09:51.720 vertebrate fish in the world. Further scans  revealed that Kelvin’s increased size meant   00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:57.520 the creature was also developing its own set of  internal organs and bones, almost like an embryo   00:09:57.520 --> 00:10:02.760 rather than the single cell it had started out as. The Foundation might not have known exactly what   00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:07.440 kind of creature Kelvin was – or indeed where it  had even come from in the first place – had it   00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:12.200 not been for an emergency incident that took  place in one of their facilities. It just so   00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:16.560 happened that the same site where researchers  were keeping Kelvin alive inside its host became   00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:22.160 the target of an attack by none other than the  Chaos Insurgency, the dangerous splinter group   00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:28.320 that formerly served as part of the Foundation. The attack had been swift and brutal, with Chaos   00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.240 Insurgency operatives storming the facility with  ruthless efficiency. Thanks to their training   00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:39.640 from disavowed members of the Foundation’s elite  Mobile Task Force Alpha One, the ‘Red Right Hand’,   00:10:39.640 --> 00:10:43.400 these insurgents were able to navigate the  halls of the research site in an attempt to   00:10:43.400 --> 00:10:50.080 raid it for anomalous items that they could use  in their ongoing war against the SCP Foundation.  00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:55.080 Since they were established by the O5 Council,  the Chaos Insurgency had a long and storied   00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:59.280 history of operating under the cover story  that they were traitors to the Foundation,   00:10:59.280 --> 00:11:04.120 stealing anomalies in secret to further  the Council’s own shadowy agenda. However,   00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:09.880 they had long since defected and now served their  own nefarious agenda, launching strikes against   00:11:09.880 --> 00:11:16.640 Foundation facilities, seizing SCPs with dangerous  potential, and eliminating Foundation personnel.  00:11:16.640 --> 00:11:21.840 The aftermath of the Insurgency’s attack was  a mess. The bodies of Foundation researchers   00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:27.080 and personnel had been left strewn throughout the  hallways of the research facility. Clean up crews   00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:31.520 were given the unpleasant task of removing  the remains and wiping down the blood stains,   00:11:31.520 --> 00:11:35.440 while research staff from other sites were  called in to take over the various projects and   00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:41.600 anomalies being studied by their less fortunate  colleagues. That was when they found Kelvin.  00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.760 In one of the facility’s labs, a Chaos Insurgency  operative was discovered dead, pinned beneath   00:11:46.760 --> 00:11:52.840 the body of… something inhuman. What little was  left of Kelvin’s human host had been splattered   00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.120 in multiple directions; the scattered fragments  of a ribcage found by clean-up crews suggested   00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:02.200 that the creature had burst out of the body  it had been inhabiting, either because it felt   00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:08.440 threatened somehow or its host had sustained  damage during the Chaos Insurgency’s raid.  00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.360 Sure enough, security footage was recovered  from a backup of the site’s closed-circuit   00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.960 surveillance system that corroborated the  working theories about what had happened   00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:21.600 to Kelvin. In the footage, a platoon of Chaos  Insurgency gunmen stormed through the facility,   00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:26.120 exchanging fire with security personnel as  they systematically cleared every room on   00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:32.120 every floor one by one. Squads split off to  examine anomalies, looking for any that would   00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:37.280 suit the Insurgency’s goals, while the rest of  their forces continued the raid. At one point,   00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:43.200 though, a lone insurgent split away from the  main group, and wandered into a research lab.  00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:49.120 Stepping inside, they were met with the sight of  Kelvin’s human host, almost entirely emaciated,   00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:54.200 barely alive. Either out of cruelty or a  willingness to put the man out of his misery,   00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:00.040 the Insurgency operative produced a sidearm  and terminated the host. Upon their death,   00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:05.160 the body began to convulse violently, the movement  emanating not from any kind of post-mortem   00:13:05.160 --> 00:13:11.960 muscular spasms, but from something moving around  inside the host’s body. The Chaos Insurgency   00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.640 operative reacted by opening fire with their  weapon again, before the host’s chest ruptured   00:13:16.640 --> 00:13:23.160 and Kelvin, now fully formed, spilled out. Able to move uneasily on its three legs,   00:13:23.160 --> 00:13:27.320 the creature launched itself at the insurgent,  either in an attempt to attack in confusion   00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:33.200 or retaliation, possibly even trying to pass  from its previous host to a new one. Traces of   00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.880 cyanide were discovered in the Chaos Insurgency  operative’s mouth, suggesting that they had a   00:13:37.880 --> 00:13:43.640 contingency against Foundation capture in place.  It was suspected that the surprise from seeing a   00:13:43.640 --> 00:13:48.560 creature like Kelvin erupting out of a cadaver  made the insurgent accidentally bite down on a   00:13:48.560 --> 00:13:52.800 cyanide pill disguised as a tooth. At this point in the footage,   00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:57.880 the Kelvin creature seemed to stop moving, losing  consciousness. By the time it was discovered   00:13:57.880 --> 00:14:03.120 after the raid, it had already perished. Foundation researchers brought in to take   00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:08.480 over the examination project were at a loss. All  of the work done to nurture Kelvin and grow it   00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:14.840 inside a human body had seemingly now been for  naught thanks to the Chaos Insurgency. Uncertain   00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:19.200 of how to proceed, it wasn’t until another  security recording surfaced that the researchers   00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:24.200 were given their best lead as to how to continue  the project. And it came from the most unlikely   00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:30.400 of sources: a Foundation security officer. During the Chaos Insurgency’s assault, the officer   00:14:30.400 --> 00:14:35.280 had been captured by surveillance cameras, fleeing  for his life, having run out of ammunition and   00:14:35.280 --> 00:14:40.680 frantically searching for an additional magazine  or another weapon to defend himself with. However,   00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:45.400 thanks to the Chaos Insurgency’s knowledge of the  Foundation, and their expectation that Mobile Task   00:14:45.400 --> 00:14:49.840 Forces would be deployed to counter their attack,  their operatives had first seized control of the   00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:54.960 site’s armory. The only option that left the  fleeing security agent with was to scour the   00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:00.640 areas of the facility the Insurgency was yet to  reach – which drove him towards an evidence room.  00:15:00.640 --> 00:15:05.440 Frantically emptying boxes, looking for something  even remotely resembling a viable self-defence   00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:10.760 option. In his search, the security cameras showed  the Foundation officer discovering a piece of   00:15:10.760 --> 00:15:15.360 evidence recovered from the Florida barbecue  where the Foundation had discovered Kelvin.  00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.200 It was an unassuming water gun, made out of  blue and green plastic with an orange nozzle   00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:25.840 and trigger. When interviewed following the raid,  the security officer clarified that his intention   00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.560 had been to surprise a Chaos Insurgency operative,  temporarily blinding them with a spray of water   00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:36.560 directly to the eyes, then disarm them, relieving  them of their firearm to use it to defend himself.  00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:41.120 This wasn’t what happened. Little did the officer realize   00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.080 that he had just retrieved the missing piece  of the puzzle when it came to the question of   00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:50.640 the unicellular life forms' point of origin.  The water gun wasn’t a simple child’s toy;   00:15:50.640 --> 00:15:57.960 it was SCP-3788. Upon using the anomalous water  gun against a member of the Chaos Insurgency,   00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:04.080 the security officer unexpectedly doused the  target with a pressurized jet of liquid ammonia.  00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:08.320 On contact, the corrosive substance  dissolved the insurgent’s bodily tissues,   00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:13.480 rapidly and agonizingly melting  them. Their injuries were fatal.  00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.240 Following the discovery of this incident,  the Foundation’s researchers requisitioned   00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:22.320 the anomalous water gun. It had been incorrectly  stored as evidence following the Florida incident,   00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.480 with the previous research team too fixated  on the development of Kelvin to notice what   00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.000 had appeared to be a harmless child’s toy. Researchers began investigating the object’s   00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.640 capabilities in an attempt to determine a link  between the ammonia-firing water gun and the   00:16:36.640 --> 00:16:43.080 now-deceased specimen of a single-celled organism.  Testing didn’t take long to yield the answers they   00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:48.560 were searching for. The screw cap for filling up  the gun with water was sealed shut and impossible   00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:53.720 to open. Threading a fiber optic camera through  the gun’s nozzle only showed what looked like the   00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:59.080 empty interior where water would normally be.  Yet, as Foundation personnel soon discovered,   00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:07.080 SCP-3788 itself was where Kelvin had come from. The gun itself contained a spatial anomaly,   00:17:07.080 --> 00:17:12.240 linking it to an unknown location. When fired,  the high pressure jet of corrosive liquid   00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:18.440 ammonia that was released was from wherever this  spatial anomaly led to. Upon further examination   00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:24.200 of the dangerous chemical released whenever  SCP-3788’s trigger was pulled, Foundation experts   00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:28.840 discovered the presence of other chemicals:  namely, dissolved methanol, formaldehyde,   00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:35.440 acetic acid and various salts – exactly  what Kelvin had needed in order to survive.  00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:40.200 Also contained in the ammonia solution were  several unidentified unicellular organisms,   00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:45.200 each consisting mainly of organometallic  polymers and enamine chains, and unlike   00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:51.640 any other life form found anywhere on Earth. In short, they were more of Kelvin. Through   00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.440 continued usage of SCP-3788, Foundation  researchers were able to use the anomalous   00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:02.520 water gun to eject multiple additional samples of  these single celled organisms. Capturing these,   00:18:02.520 --> 00:18:05.960 they were able to cultivate them in much  the same way Kelvin had been allowed to   00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:11.520 grow… but without the need for human hosts,  instead preserving them in ammonia tanks and   00:18:11.520 --> 00:18:16.960 feeding them the same synthetic solution that had  allowed Kelvin to grow from its unicellular form.  00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:22.520 On occasion, use of SCP-3788 would result  in the ejection of an unidentified organism   00:18:22.520 --> 00:18:28.760 that resembled a sunfish, each possessing six  eyes and three limbs. On further inspection,   00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:34.160 these creatures also shared a similar biochemistry  to the singled celled organisms, and to the   00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:40.720 deceased remains of the Kelvin test subject. Testing using SCP-3788 was suspended, however,   00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:48.040 following an incident now designated Incident  3788-G. Four months into their experimentation   00:18:48.040 --> 00:18:52.480 with the anomalous water gun, the object  unexpectedly ejected a thirty-five-metre   00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:59.120 long metallic vehicle, which was propelled out  at the same velocity as the liquid ammonia.   00:18:59.120 --> 00:19:02.600 This caused it to crash through several  rooms of the Foundation facility,   00:19:02.600 --> 00:19:06.560 resulting in numerous workplace injuries  and a handful of deaths that have since   00:19:06.560 --> 00:19:13.320 cost the Foundation dearly in compensation. The vehicle itself seemed to resemble a submarine;   00:19:13.320 --> 00:19:16.440 when Foundation agents opened up  the metal hatch to its entrance,   00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:22.480 a group of eight organisms emerged. Each displayed  signs of sapience, as well as sported three legs   00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:27.440 and appeared to resemble sunfish, much  like Kelvin had. However, all eight of the   00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:32.360 creatures quickly lost consciousness, suffering  from atmospheric shock, and were immediately   00:19:32.360 --> 00:19:37.880 rushed to ammonia tanks to keep them alive. An inspection of their vehicle by the Foundation   00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.920 uncovered pictograms, as well as a written  language that has only been partially translated.   00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.400 Based on this information, the Foundation has  cause to believe that the creatures originated   00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:54.520 on Titan, one of the moons of Saturn and that this  is where the spatial anomaly within SCP-3788 leads   00:19:54.520 --> 00:20:02.600 to. A conclusion that almost nobody suspected, but  was undeniably, and literally, out of this world.  00:20:02.600 --> 00:20:07.200 Check out the Doctor Bob Patreon and become a  junior researcher today!
