​@@deviantsemicolon618Maybe we should make different tiers of the scp foundation. At the lowest tier is a foundation that only deals with earthly horrors like the flesh pit and other less cosmic scps. A world where only these earth bound scps exist and the foundation isn't as all-mighty as in other entries. And at the other end we have a foundation with multiversal influence, and unpredictable goals.

When you cut through all the medical lingo and documentation of every tiny detail, the laconic narrative of the entire incident is "Water got in its lungs, so it coughed. Then it rolled over in its sleep and started to wake up, so we tried sedating it. It had a bad reaction to the misdosed sedatives, so it threw up. Then it went back to sleep, possibly because we did this thing we won't specify, possibly on its own. Almost a thousand died. Almost two thousand were severely injured." It coughed, rolled over, and then it threw up. That's all it did. And nearly three thousand people's lives were either ended, permanently crippled, or marred by psychological trauma damage from seeing the other two things for life. It gets across that this thing is ungodly dangerous even if it's not actively malicious or even AWAKE. It gets across that we REALLY have no understanding of it whatsoever even if we can piece out bits of its anatomy, no idea how we can stop this thing from doing, well, ANYTHING, and most terrifying of all, it actively doing even something as minor as a hiccup or a cough COULD KILL PEOPLE BY THE THOUSANDS. Imagine what it would do if it became ACTIVE. or even worse... it was ACTIVELY MALICIOUS. This is properly done horror. Not fright, not cheap scares, this is looming, actual, visceral horror of a threat continuously looming over our heads we can do nothing whatsoever about and have to live in constant dread of. The animal threats from inside the superorganism are scary, sure, but the superorganism ITSELF is the true horror. We can fight back and even vanquish the animal threats. They're no more horrific than any other dangerous animal. More alien, but not more terrible. Against those, we can fight back, even triumph. But the Superorganism itself... we're one hundred percent at its mercy and all we can do is LITERALLY pray it never wakes up. The author is an absolute master. Pro level horror writer.

Nuke it once and it's dead, or we can just use conventional explosives at it's eyes if it has those or legs to cripple it, or just strap a bunch of nukes inside of it.

It seems what caused the loss of life was the use of the sedative, which by it's description sounds like it's very toxic to mammal life. That's what it puked up and spewed into the air, basically became a biological weapon with the material that was pumped into the thing. That combined with it's own gastric juice and the organisms that inhabit it being ejected to the surface. We aren't managing any cosmic horror pits of flesh in real life, but how much careful control of our own man made systems is required to stay safe on a day to day basis? How many of those systems are controlled completely by a private corporation with a board of directors who have a vested interest in spending the least amount of money to meet the most basic safety requirements placed on them? This story is less about how dangerous the organic mess in a pit is, and how dangerous human negligence can be.

It's scary how believable this is. If you accept the premise, everything else makes way too much sense, from building a mining and tourist operation to letting standards slip due to negligence or greed until a disaster strikes.

Considering human nature... let alone all of the resources of it's body, and the spectacle of it, and the ability to monitor and research the thing...

My cousin used to work as a game warden in the flesh pit from 1993 to 2001. In those days, game wardens who wanted to work in the superorganism had to go through a special selection and training process to qualify for warden positions in the park. Candidates were run through a gamut of physical fitness tests, psychological evaluations, 2-gun course evaluations, law competency exams, all that sort of thing. My cousin had been a Guadalupe County deputy for about 10 years before he decided he wanted to work as a warden. He took me in the summer of '96 I believe to go on a sort of camping trip with him, I must have been 13 at the time. I don't remember a TON about it, but I do remember being distinctly fascinated with the colonies of macrobacteria you would find in the North Bronchial forest. I think we found one resembling some kind of amoeba maybe (Im no microbiologist) in a herd that was maybe 25 feet long? It was massive. Smelled like a pack of active dry yeast lol.

9:16 Start of relevant timeline. 10:29 AM July 4th - Unseasonably high rains force park administrators to cancel a July 4th Concert and Fireworks display scheduled to take place on the surface park grounds. Many visitors who had already purchased tickets to the event become upset, and a decision is made to extend the park hours until midnight for those who had purchased event tickets. 8:00 PM July 4th - Normal closing time for the national park. A typical shift change of reduced night staff in the control room takes place. 9:16 PM July 4th - Harvesting crews working in the western extremities of the organism set a new extraction record to meet a quota for bonuses in time for the holiday weekend. 9:30 PM July 4th - Control room operators initiate a routine system self-test and discover a relay fault error resulting from increased electrical demand from mining equipment and tourist infrastructure. A control room operator logs the fault and notifies an on-duty engineer. 9:41 PM July 4th - Water drainage from surface rain into the Entry Orifice begins to collect in the sand gullet. Drainage pumps are automatically activated by a sensor system but fail to initialize due to the relay fault. An emergency back-up pump running on a separate emergency circuit is automatically activated. 9:42 PM July 4th - A critical alarm in the control room alerts operators that the emergency water pump has seized and is inoperative. Under-lubrication of the pump’s impeller bushings resulted in corrosion due to the moist interior of the flesh pit environment. 9:48 PM July 4th - Technicians arrive at the primary pump station to discover the sand gullet almost completely submerged. Water begins to pour over the dorsal respiratory ridge and into bronchial bulbules. Control room operators divert power to hydraulic stent rams to brace for expected choke response. 9:51 PM July 4th - Technicians a repair the relay fault as control staff reset the park’s electrical grid. The grid is offline for 45 seconds. The automatic PA system does not notify guests as the system is scheduled to automatically shut down at the normal 8:00PM closing time. The temporary lapse of lighting causes many guests to become panicked and return to the main gantry lift at the lower visitor center. 9:52 PM July 4th - A choking action from the organism begins 31 seconds into the electrical reset. The main dorsal trunk violently flexes. Lack of power to hydraulic arming rams causes irreparable damage to several sections of internal infrastructure. 9:53 PM July 4th - As the electrical system finishes the reboot cycle, the dynamic hydraulic actuators supporting the lower visitor center overcorrect for stability, not accounting for the shift in the wall lining of the nexial cavity in which the visitor center facility is anchored. Two of the six structural supports are torn from their foundations which causes the facility to list 20deg off vertical. The base joint of the vertical entry gantry is bent beyond its design limit angle. 9:54 PM July 4th - The Master Alarm is tripped automatically. Surface facilities are notified as response teams are given the order to mobilize. 9:56 PM July 4th - Park rangers are dispatched to rescue groups of visitors trapped in partially collapsed tunnels and trails. 10:03 PM July 4th - Continued movement of the organism, combined with rainwater, causes one of the upper entry gantry supports to slip. An outbound elevator conducts an emergency stop stranding over two dozen visitors. 10:05 PM July 4th - Tremors registered as far away as the DFW metroplex. 10:06 PM July 4th - Soil liquefaction destabilizes surface facilities in and around the organism. Dilation anchors begin retracting to keep the entry orifice open. 10:12 PM July 4th - A master fail-safe is activated by the automated park management system. Twenty thousand liters of aconitine compound are injected into the superorganism via a distributed network of relay stations located throughout it’s known internal anatomy. 10:12 PM July 4th - Tremors and convulsions intensify as the entry gantry connection to the lower visitor center detaches completely. The lower visitor center begins to collapse downward into the nexial cavity. 10:12 PM July 4th - Peristaltic muscle action of the nexial cavity begins to exert substantial pressure on the outer structure of the lower visitor center facility. 10:15 PM July 4th - The prime labiod junction just west of the Septum Falls geobiological feature flexes into an open position, releasing a torrent of lactogastric chyma into the dorsal trunk. It is likely that this was a reaction to the aconitine injection. 10:16 PM July 4th - Peristaltic spasms force the caustic chyma slurry through the nexial cavity and up through the lower and upper moisture crops towards the surface orifice. 10:16 PM July 4th - Many guests attempting to flee the stalled elevator near the entry orifice attempt climbing out the upper moisture crop but are ultimately unsuccessful due to torrential rains causing the surfaces to become very slippery. Many end up falling back into the maw. 10:17 PM July 4th - The chyma slurry erupts from the surface orifice in a geyser several hundred meters in height. Large pieces of undigested organic matter crush several vehicles and damage windows. 10:19 PM July 4th - Following the several minute long ejecta event, a deep and incredibly loud roar erupts from the entry orifice as ground tremors intensify further. Large extremities begin surfacing through bedrock and soil approx. 30km-120km from the entry orifice. 10:25 PM July 4th - The acrid smell of the gastric ejecta can be detected as far as Odessa, TX. 10:26 PM July 4th - Two park service vehicles and a tour vehicle containing park service employees and several guests attempt to ascend through the entry orifice tube. 10:27 PM July 4th - Peristaltic action crushes one of the tour vehicles and sucks the other two vehicles back into the nexial cavity and down into a digestive organ. These vehicles are presumed destroyed. 10:58 PM July 4th - The pentagon is given authorization from the whitehouse to use nuclear force if necessary to prevent the organism from entering an active and/or ambulatory state. 11:02 PM July 4th - The on-site operations director within the lower visitor center control room initiates a final fail-safe measure in the form of the [CONTINGENCY MEASURE]. 11:02 PM July 4th - Master Event Log records successful spin-up of the [CONTINGENCY MEASURE]. 11:05 PM July 4th - Lower visitor center structural integrity is critically compromised resulting in total collapse. 11:05 PM July 4th - Data connection with lower visitor center is severed. 11:13 PM July 4th - Spasms and motor action of the superorganism begins to noticeably subside. Response teams begin to descend into the surface orifice to attempt rescue operations. 11:19 PM July 4th - Response team encounters visitor group which had attempted escape from stalled elevator. Most are dead, the remainder are mortally wounded and partially digested due to caustic gastric ejecta. 11:42 PM July 4th - Radio contact established with ranger vehicle trapped within “Oyster’s Shame”. Due to ventricle closure, no feasible rescue strategy can be developed before complete mastication occurs. 11:56 PM July 4th - Response team confirms that [CONTINGENCY MEASURE] and associated facility are still intact and operating. 11:58 PM July 4th - Texas Gov. Rick Perry formally declares a state of emergency for Gumption county. 12:22 AM July 5th - Response teams route data/power umbilical to new basecamp in [CONTINGENCY MEASURE] facility. 12:35 AM July 5th - Three inter-pit lifeforms are identified as having been ejected onto the surface. Fifteen visitors are injured and seven are hunted by inter-pit lifeforms during panicked evacuation of surface resort. 12:41 AM July 5th - Park staff manage to kill the three large lifeforms. 1:02 AM July 5th - National Guard helicopters begin delivering supplies and personnel to aid in site containment. 1:58 AM July 5th - Field hospital is constructed to care for wounded visitors and staff. 2:37 AM July 5th - Initial damage surveys report catastrophic destruction of internal park infrastructure. Pit geobiology has dramatically changed in hazard level. 3:00 AM July 5th - Emergency teleconference of Anodyne executive leadership. National parks director and Secretary of the Interior are present. 3:12 AM July 5th - Executive decision is made to initiate FEMA response and assemble a task force for containing superorganism. 4:00 AM July 5th - Media helicopters and vehicles begin to report on the scope of disaster. 4:39 AM July 5th - Base camp technicians begin to spin-down [CONTINGENCY MEASURE]. Large fractures due to inertial stress have appeared on mineral components. Engineers advise against re-initializing [CONTINGENCY MEASURE] until mineral components can be replaced or repaired. 6:08 AM July 5th - Ground personnel begin assembling a pump system to inject industrial sedatives into the superorganism. Transport trucks containing industrial sedative arrive. 9:45 AM July 5th - Emergency teleconference of Anodyne shareholders. 11:20 AM July 5th - Several injured visitors inexplicably leave field hospital and begin walking towards open pit orifice. Approx. 38 individuals are able to crawl back into the orifice over the course of 8 hours. None are recovered. 3:51 PM July 5th - Radio transmission from trapped ranger vehicle ceases. Many speculate that other small groups of visitors and staff are still trapped. End of relevant timeline.

I hate how people say we can only mildly irritate it. It is known to be about 30-40km deep and up to 300km accross. And they mine it already so we can harm it with conventional means. litteraly just use bomb logic. 5 50 megaton would create a fireball able to evaporate everything in about 75km. Meaning if we placed them in the exotic anatomy below the surface orifice we would instantly evaporate its stomach, lungs, entire known digestive system, endocrine system, vast amounts of vital bone and muscle tissue and leave it with a huge gaping hole. It would be like sticking a firecracker inside a crab. The outside might still be there but the insides are a molten fire soup.

This reminds me of 40Ks larger Tyranid Forms, where some weapons and their ammo, and in some cases literal parts of the creature are symbiotic, all controlled by the hivemind and not actually just one biological system. This could be a cool concept where parts of this react to the stress of other parts, similar to how tyranid ammo is pretty inert in the "magazine" but goes bananas when its pushed out of the weapon organism

Imagine that this is literally Cronus, and we stumbled on Tartarus. In more scientific terms, we can consider this is some kind of planetary orfice, and the planet itself is alive. We would then be like dust mites or bacteria, living on it's surface.

i had a nightmare as a kid about something like this. I was stuck at the bottom of a fleshy pit with a shallow puddle of acid that was burning me and I kept trying to climb out but the slimy walls contracted and flung me back down into the acid every time. I was getting dissolved and could see the bones in my hands and was absolutely freaked out as I frantically tried climbing up the walls over and over hoping that maybe something different would happen but kept getting thrown back into the acid. In retrospect, I probably should've just stood in the middle and at least only my feet would get dissolved. Every time I got thrown it would splash the acid all over me and dissolved everything.

I had several life threatening events while doing this work eventually was able to retire and moved away from the permanent basin.

This remind me of a video game I played called Torment: Tides of Numenara. In that game you go to some giant flesh pod thing where people have set up a town and launch expeditions into the ‘Bloom’ they call it. People routinely get swallowed up and pathways regularly shift with giant mouths shutting in your way. Random acid baths and nasty fleshy beasts are constant hazards. People however have created an economy around the bits and pieces of stuff they find and manage to survive for years down there. It has a latent mental affect on people so prolonged stays drive people insane. A similar idea for a different world this fits our commercial tourist thrill seeking world perfectly.

Yeah I remember this. All TV news were talking about this all day long. I was just a child back then and I complained that I couldn't watch cartoon shows. Several years after, I learned this in a history class and realized how serious this accident was. My teacher had cousin's family died during the accident so he hated the company so much. They went a family vacation there and it happened. His cousin, the father in the family was a firefighter. So my teacher believed that he would've continued to save other people until all of them were succumbed by the flesh. Only his wife came out of the pit partially melt by gastric acid. But she went back to the pit several hours later. Nobody knows why and my teacher still blamed people at the scene that how they couldn't stop the victims from returning to the pit. 2007 was a weird year for sure.

I absolutely love the way this was written! Horror stories told in the manner of a technical executive summary! Laughing the whole way through!

I feel bad for the pit, it just wakes up and finds out there are bugs mining and creating recreational facilities only to then be drugged when it tries to cough out the threat.

I LOVE this unfiction piece, precisely because it's presented in this form. I don't know why, it just really grabs me. Plus as a biologist, I can really appreciate the sheer amount of research that went into making this sound as scientifically plausible as possible.

@@Mondy667 ARG stands for alternate reality game, it's a type of story. Unfiction is a genre of stories. Think Young Adult book is the genre, love story is the type. Or science fiction is the genre and Alien is the type. A genre can encapsule many types of stories. Also as an afterthought the concept of an ARG is muddied nowadays as well, the G for game is most of the time completely ignored. They used to use audience participation in their storytelling, either by figuring out codes for the protagonist or sometimes even finding clues in the real world somewhere. Nowadays it's mostly just the audience watching it unfold without being involved. I think most ARGs nowadays are more like analog horror? 🤔

This entry, "if dryly written" is supremely interesting and detailed. High quality material here.

Honestly, give it a few years. They'll reopen the park under "New Management", and pieces of the original lower visitors center will just be a small memorial.

KZread thought this was real, and recommended it alongside actual documentaries.

3:36 The reveal that K Street lobbyists are involved is the most ominous thing about the meat pit. The dissonance between the cosmic horror and tourist spot makes sense once you realize that good old lobbying turned this into a beloved vacation destination

I can’t take this story or this universe seriously. The Permian basin superorganism ? It sounds like a really bad anime not the good ones the one that someone made in ms paint.

I would love a mini series that shows the last few days or weeks leading up to this by following the park ranger who piloted the final trapped ranger vehicle.

Just found this channel......SO EXCITED!!!!!

I was on the world-building subreddit when this started and I stopped seeing it all of a sudden. I'm glad it is becoming so popular now and until recently I was a member of the Patreon

This reads/sounds so on-point and so accurate to real-world incident reports. The writer has clearly either done their homework or has helped with one before, and it's amazing. The true horror here however is the idea of a living creature's body being used as basically entertainment, and as someone who's had surgeries before it gives me chills. In addition, the full seeming disregard for life all-around be it human, animal or otherwise, all as dryly-written and understated as real-world terminologies like "disassociated portions" being used in lieu of "exploded human body-chunks".

this stuff gives me what i like about SCP with the added bonus of insane writing talent and art

Hearing this, I first go "Who in the WORLD who go inside a being that can absorb you?" And then I remember Action Park

This is a horror story about an unfathomably large system with no regard for human safety causing thousands of deaths and injuries. There's also a superorganism turned into an attraction involved.

@@coloradohikertrash9958 I have no idea where you got that one from tbh, and I'm black too. This one's really just about the horrors of capitalism and the ramifications of corporate greed and negligence (along with the body horror that the creature experiences too)

The saddest thing about this is that aside from the supernatural elements in this story, stuff like this happens pretty frequently.

What stuck out the most for me was the part about those 3 vehicles trying to ascend the entry orifice (essentially the creature's esophagus) only for one to be crushed and the other two to be pushed back down into a digestive organ. It's such a small detail but it invoked a very visceral image in my mind of a vehicle full of people screaming as they're being pushed down further into the organism and into its stomach to be digested. The same goes for the vehicle trapped in Oyster's Shame. Imagine having radio contact with people that are trapped and being chewed/crushed slowly, knowing there's no way to save them in time. What would you even say to them?

The thing that peaks my interest with mystery flesh pit is the thought that if this was real we might've actually done something like this turning it into a nightmare park or something, I just feel bad for the thing

I hope they are making a "guidebook" or history book for this. They can put all the story and great photo collection that they have accumulated so far but make it look like it is a real place.

I consider this a perfect companion piece to SCP because it's a textbook example of why the Foundation is necessary, or else all anomalies would end up like thjs

I love how the survivors jumped back into the pit.

Supervisor: (stops tape) ...and THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is why we will actively listen to those "boring" and "cheesy" safety training videos! Thanks to a culture of greedmongering, scared silence, and corner-cutting, it was the end of an era...not that the era of a recreational park inside an eldritch superorganism was entirely a good thing to begin with, mind you, but it's the principle that counts. Any questions? Trainee: Sssssooooo if I wanted to chip off a peice of tooth for a souvenir...? Supervisor: ....You're fired.

God... The graphic design is perfect. Literally perfect! It matches so perfectly the zeitgeist, the corporate mindset, and aesthetics considerations of the time that I'm completely amazed to fact that this is a fan project- AMAZING!
