Incident #: 0808-1718

Description: this incident occurred in 1718, near N[REDACTED], Bahamas. A Fioncit Royal Navy ship set sail to retrieve the Book of Dreams (E-0808-a), an artifact said to be made by the gods and to be able to fulfill one's deepest desires. Months later, the ship returned empty, without its crew nor any remains of them.

Note: we have recently recovered the Captain's diary. We thought this would shed light on the fate of the crew, but it only brought more questions. We would like your professional opinion on this matter.

Was all this an act of gods or an act of Man?


Thank you for your aid.

Regards,

B. C.

The presentation of this is quite engrossing, similar to reading a good SCP article in all the best ways. Really captures the unsettling horror of an anomalous event presented in a cold, clerical fashion to really nail home the realism. Love it!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I love the SCP lore. Honored that this fiction made you feel something similar!
