From the Antimemetics Division

During the investigation into the Global Occult Coalition and the Fiftgh Church these few days, we've made some interesting discoveries. While we do not want to exaggerate the situation, we are obliged to say that the Fifth Church has hidden the most terrifying, yet most primordial mystery on this entire Earth. We hope that you take this seriously, and we too do not want this concept to be real. But reality is what it is, and we are screwed.

First of all, the actual composition of the Fifthist population is practically impossible to ascertain normally. We only know the relevant politicians, celebrities, businessmen, and so on — those in the public eye. To those outside the faith, Fifthism is just a strange anomalous religion, but to themselves… No, no, it wouldn't be right to say that. None of them have a single drop of sentience, not a single one. They've been swallowed by a mysterious entity, becoming cells of a hivemind. They're zombies, puppeted by that "entity".

Secondly, have you thought of the possibility that before reading this message, you did not know about the name "the Fifth Church", and most certainly do not remember "Protocol Ophiuchus". In your mind, there is an imprint — but the exact details of the event have been wiped clean. This is not a coincidence, but the antimemetic effects of the faith itself, erasing its existence from the minds of all who remember it. And this little anomalous cult is capable of exerting such great effects — soon enough you will know the true reason for this.

Third, regardless of how they did it, if someone happens to come to understand the existence of the Fifth Church, then their conception of Fifthism will slowly but surely become reality. We have used this information to carry out investigations, finding commonalities between their anomalies, and all our research points to the same result.

The scale of the Fifth Church is currently growing at an unprecedented rate. We do not have much time.

I raised the above three points to explain the solution I am about to propose: the Fifthist faith worships a god in the fifth dimension. While the Foundation does not approve of such vocabulary in describing anomalies, there is no other way to accurately describe this entity than as a "god". This is not fearmongering, nor is it a cover for some hidden secret about the Fifth Church. This is the sole result that we have gained from all our research.

Everything I have raised here is in order to accelerate your research into this problem. I cannot think of a way to dissolve the Church or neutralize this "god". I hope people will continue to do their part.

Information:

We have finally completed the analysis of the complete Θ'-dimensional topological attachment, and discovered the following fact: SCP-CN-1548, the object of worship of the Fifth Church, exists in the fifth dimension and has on multiple occasions interacted with our reality. Based on the information from the Fifth Church themselves, we have discovered partial information about SCP-CN-1548. It's only partial, but it is enough to explain some of the previously encountered anomalies.

Those madmen describe SCP-CN-1548 as a "five-pointed starfish", but it is not just because it looks like a starfish. While this is very likely to be SCP-CN-1548 trying to deceive us, we are still trying to find a way to prove it: we've contacted the project lead at the GOC, Joshua Greenfield. When we told him where we were in terms of understanding, he told us what he himself knew. Of them was a crucial point - the nature of SCP-CN-1548. SCP-CN-1548 is the source and aggregate of the concept of "five-pointedness", bearing a close relation to one of the anomalies we have previously contained.

Regrettably, we still do not know the exact meaning behind this "five-pointedness", and have not found the related anomaly. We hope you can investigate as soon as possible to produce a satisfying answer.

Interviewer: Alexi

Interviewee: Morgan

Morgan: Umiko — or should I say, Alexi — what information do you want from me?

Alexi: Eh? Morgan, how did you know my real name?

Morgan: Hah, you don't need to know that. But to trick me into coming here, and feed me with good food and drink for a day — even though I like the environment here, I can't take it any more, and the others are waiting for me to come home. And then there's you — you're looking pretty good in that uniform.

Alexi: Alright. I'll say it out loud — I need you to answer me now. You must have hidden a lot from me up until now.

Morgan: I still haven't held it against you… Nonetheless, ask away.

Alexi: I'm not trying to pressure you. This is just a little game of asking and answering, and once you're done you may leave. But you need to answer clearly.

Alexi:What kind of organization is the Fifth Church?

Morgan: Well… can I not answer? My parents, my whole family, all died in the name of the Church. I don't particularly have any feelings towards it — they're like a group of crazies.

Alexi: Not these, I want other information.

Morgan: Other information? I only have some information about the lyrics with me now, if you want it… wait, you probably already have them.

Alexi: Morgan!

Morgan: Alright, alright, I'm only kidding. Whatever it is, ask away. We're friends after all, right?

Alexi: That's right. So, the Fifth Church, why does it exist?

Morgan: Huh?

Alexi: What is the reason that the Fifth Church exists?

Morgan: Don't you think asking this kind of question is a little too deep? We're just ordinary people.

Alexi: Please, answer. (Quietly) Please.

Morgan: It's a little different from what your prior research would indicate. It's a great being, exceeding all dimensions.

Alexi: Prior research… Wait! How do you know about the research conducted here?

Morgan: You don't need to know.

Alexi: What?

Morgan: Instead of asking me, why don't you ask yourself what you've been missing all these years?

Alexi: I'm sorry, Morgan, I've kept you in the dark for so long. But it was all on me. Don't drag the others into this.

Morgan: You don't need to explain. I've never doubted you — after all, by the time we'd first met, I'd already known.

Alexi: You knew from the start… that I had an ulterior motive?

Morgan: Of course. I knew all of your plans.

Alexi: So…

Morgan: He told me.

Alexi: He?

Morgan: You know who I speak of, and you know "why" I speak of Him this way.

Alexi: The great entity, coming from the fifth dimension.

Morgan: In truth, it is not the fifth. "Five" is merely what all of you wish it were. There is nothing you can do.

Morgan: Do you remember when I asked you, "Have you ever seen God?"

Alexi: I still do.

Morgan: He is that God, who has accompanied me all my life. He is omnipresent, and everything He made is according to hidden rules. Rules that were made to help us accomplish what we need to do.

Morgan: He is the God that you have hidden, from the world, from yourselves. And your knowledge of Him is hidden in a little room not too far from here.

Alexi: Do you mean… SCP-3125?

Morgan: You even have hidden His manifestation from yourself, this entity that you call SCP-3125. But look around you! Do you reall believe that hiding in that kind of box can protect you from His divine will?

Alexi: Enough! Morgan, I don't know where you heard this from, but I implore you to stop, or else…

Morgan: Listen, I will ensure your safety. He will protect everything dear to us.

Alexi: No, drop this topic at once, or—

Morgan: I have always told you that nothing bad will happen to you. Now, behind you, I can see Him.

Morgan: Honestly, this sounds rather crazy, but if I wanted to, I could peer into your brain and find out everything you are thinking about. But I won't, and I can't. I am but a simple human, after all.

Alexi: Enough… When did your views of the Fifth Church change? Or, should I say, why did they change?

Morgan: When I understood the truth.

Alexi: Truth?

Morgan: Look at the bigger picture. He is a God from that unknown dimension, and on that night, I stared at the stars and glimpsed his divine being. And ever since that moment, I saw His basic structure; I saw the five pointed star, I saw His true form. He did not take away my autonomy; I chose to watch Him, just as He watches over us.

Morgan: From simple to complex, from complex to simple — He has infinitely many layers. From the scale of this planet, He is omnipresent. This is exactly as your research has shown.

Alexi: The five points?

Morgan: Yes, the five points.

Morgan: He is the origin and aggregate of all five-pointed things, coming from an unknown dimension, extending to all universes. Everything in this world that relates to the number five is its projection. And this is a concept related to its transmission — His projection can be cast anywhere, like an infection. And anything related to this projection, material or conceptual, will be imbued with His nature, and become His projection. This effect allows for infinite transmission — and it is very similar to what your research has shown… of course, you'll discover what I mean soon enough.

Morgan: And this transmission is not continuous; even the concept of "non-continuity" has been taken over by Him. And so, all that is conceptual and material relating to the concept of "non-continuity"… is simply one of His facets. He is…

Alexi: He is all of space and time.

Morgan: No, all of space and time, all universes and realities, are merely one of His facets.

Alexi: What can I do in His projection?

Morgan: Nothing — if you're asking what you can do to change the current situation, there is nothing you can do. But you can choose to treat this as merely a dream, and come back to making music with us.

Alexi: And what about those believers? Why do they follow the Church?

Morgan: Of their own free will. They have come to understand the truth of the Universe through Him, and have willingly given their conscience to Him.

Morgan: Those believers who, in your eyes, are no longer humans…

Alexi: So what should I do now? How do I take over forthem?

Morgan: Tell them the truth, and then do nothing.

Alexi: And if they want to keep going?

[Silence]

[End Recording]

It's too late.

He is the Complete Five-Pointed, the Dream above the Stars and the Sky. His believers have been selected by Him, to become His warriors, to tell the whole universe who is the True Lord. He is the Traveler of the Five Dimensions, and as I looked up to the sky, I saw the dream He shared, and contacted His vibrations, Space and Time born, frozen, flowing, destroyed, reborn in that instant.

He is the omniscient, omnipotent paranormal, and the Universe itself. We have no means to contain Him, for we live in His domain.
