So I’m thinking about writing a SCP about the Kaluli creation myth.
The general concept I’m going for here is that a select group of the first people refused to help create the world and left to a nearby, lifeless island. There they’ve been starving and idle for thousands of years, becoming more and more bitter from their self-inflicted isolation. Radical and wanting to reverse the world back to its pre life-filled form.
Eventually the island is discovered by a Pre-WW2, post WW1 American navy ship. After observing the Island for some time they begin to wonder how the natives survive on an Island without flora or fauna. Soon the government takes more interest in the Island eventually setting up a station on a nearby Island where they capture some of the natives and begin testing them.
Cue WW2 and the America scientist are close to understanding who these people and what they’re capable of. They’re on the brink of accessing the same energy that allowed the first people to change into the varieties of life on the planet. A machine is invented that lets them extract this energy (meant to loosely resemble the concept of the soul) from the people then contain it, and weaponized it. When released the souls create a wave of energy capable of massive destruction. Two days later the first atomic blast test is conducted.
