Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Threat Level: Green
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be cordoned off to the general public and unauthorized personnel is not allowed within 200-meters of SCP-XXXX. Any unauthorized entry within the cordoned area will result in the administration of Class-B Amnestics and the removal of the subject from the containment area. The cordon surrounding SCP-XXXX is designed to appear as private property complete with electric fencing, motion sensors, cameras, and an on-site observation post to monitor any breach into or out of SCP-XXXX.
Object Descriptions:
SCP-XXXX is a rural cottage in ███████, Texas its' dimensions are approximately 150 square meters in area. SCP-XXXX was discovered on 09/10/2017 by local law enforcement following the reported disappearance of the home's occupants.
Upon investigation instances of SCP-XXXX-1 assaulted the officers which resulted in the deaths of two (2) of the sheriff's deputies. Following this event, the FBI's Unusual Incidents Unit was called into action, at that time embedded Foundation operatives within the UIU reported the incident to the Foundation. Following a brief negotiation, the investigation and any subsequent findings were turned over to Foundation Agents. Local law officials were administered Class-A Amnestics following the turnover of documents and continuity has been successfully maintained.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are described as wooden cabinets of unknown make or model and its dimensions are approximately (Length).5m x (Width).7m x (Height)1m in size. SCP-XXXX-1 has displayed telekinetic properties and is capable of moving at speeds estimated at between 75-95Kp/h as observed by Foundation personnel. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 showcases non-sapient semi-sentient traits as they demonstrate a territorial instinct towards anyone found within SCP-XXXX for a prolonged period no greater than three (3) minutes (see addendum XXXX.1).
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 appear to target the cranial region on the victim's body and most encounters have produced fatal results. Currently, it is unknown how SCP-XXXX-1 arrived at its current state and further tests have been suspended following SCP-XXXX-1's behavior. Subsequent tests have been postponed indefinitely following Incident SCP-XXXX-1.A (see addendum XXXX.1). Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are known to not proceed past the entrance to SCP-XXXX-2, the reasons for this effect are currently unknown.
Currently, it is not known where the bodies of victims of SCP-XXXX-1 disappear to after their expiration as no trace is left following a fatal encounter. (See Addendum XXXX.03 for further details).
SCP-XXXX-2 is a basement superstructure and was not found on any known historical record or floor plan of the premises. Discovered during the initial exploration into SCP-XXXX the exact size and depth of SCP-XXXX-2 is currently unknown. SCP-XXXX-2 is currently considered as an extradimensional entity with anomalous qualities and further research is required to understand its' phenomena.
Exploration teams and camera footage from within SCP-XXXX-2 depict the composition of the walls and surfaces of the superstructure as organic, and similar in composition to chitin with thin clotted webbing surrounding the floors, walls, and ceilings. Samples taken on-site yielded inconclusive results.
Expeditions into SCP-XXXX-2 have yielded few results and any samples found within SCP-XXXX-2 have never been recovered as prior to leaving SCP-XXXX all instances of anomalous items cease existence within our known instance of space dematerializing instantly upon exiting SCP-XXXX. Samples measured and tested inside SCP-XXXX-2 have yielded varying and inconclusive results.
During the second expedition into SCP-XXXX-2, an instance of SCP-XXXX-3 was encountered. SCP-XXXX-3, as described by MTF Delta-7, was a humanoid male of homo sapiens he was of Caucasian descent approximately between 50-65 years of age. Further details included that he wore a red blazer, a button-down shirt, jeans, and snakeskin boots and that he spoke with a southern drawl indicative of the locale. The exploration team heard him state that he was, "Mr. Pockets, of Mr. Pockets Realty," and upon conclusion of that statement, he outstretched his hand holding a business card.
The observation team noted that there was never a man before the MTF team members (see addendum XXXX.3) at any time and that the only known entity before them during that time was an arthropod similar in appearance to Plexippus paykulli1 and estimated its size at roughly three (3) meters high. Following this observation, the use of Scranton Reality Anchors2 was approved by on-site command. The anchors had no effect on the creature and the MTF members claimed the man still stood before them.
Further tests into SCP-XXXX-3 have been postponed indefinitely and following the extraction of the exploration team SCP-XXXX-3 and any further encounters with it are to be treated with hostile intent and caution is advised to anyone interacting with the entity. SCP-XXXX-3 is awaiting further classification and is pending classification as a cognitohazard or telepathic anomalous item.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-4 should be treated as highly aggressive and are to be engaged with lethal force upon the foundation of visual contact. Any subject that comes into contact with any instance of an SCP-XXXX-4 entity is to be labeled Class-E and quarantined following standard procedures and kept under a seventy-two (72) hour observational watch prior to release.
SCP-XXXX-4 is humanoid in structure and is shown to have undergone a series of mutations and possible bio-augmentations. All recorded instances of SCP-XXXX-4 bear a resemblance to the species of arthropod Plexippus paykulli, exhibiting both visible similarities as well as displaying common hunting patterns and traits. Their primary diet consists of common household insects, rodents, vermin, as well as SCP-XXXX-1 victims as evidenced by their surroundings (see addendum XXXX.3). SCP-XXXX-4 ambush their prey from concealed positions poisoning their subjects and grappling with them until they are rendered inert.
SCP-XXXX-4A is shown to have, depending on the individual instance encountered, between three (3) to five (5) additional appendages protruding from its' thoracic and abdominal regions. SCP-XXXX-4's jawline has receded and the maxillaries have shown to have grown several centimeters longer and sharper and can be actuated. SCP-XXXX-4's cranium has visibly shrunk in size and noticeable protrusions run throughout the frontal bone of the subject's skull. These protrusions number between two (2) to four (4) depending on the individual instance encountered, and are similar in size and structure to compound eyes.
SCP-XXXX-4 instances are hypothesized to be non-sapient and semi-sentient further evidence during MTF Delta-7's Expedition corroborates this hypothesis. Conventional weaponry has shown to be most effective at neutralizing instances of SCP-XXXX-4 and are currently the most readily available means to eliminate instances encountered during exploration of SCP-XXXX-2.
It is unknown whether the observed instances of SCP-XXXX-4 are the only examples of the species to exist within SCP-XXXX-2. Testing is considered untenable at this time as SCP-XXXX-4 samples cease to exist upon leaving the SCP-XXXX. Recommendations to test within SCP-XXXX have been denied by Site-21's directorship.
Additional Notes: At the current moment no instance of any SCP-XXXX anomaly has broken containment procedures and interference from outside sources has been kept to a minimum. The observation post inside the cordon is equipped with a small detachment of TRO's3 and a distress beacon should containment procedures fail. In the event of containment failure, all nearby MTF's are to be notified and instructions are to be given per Site-21's leadership.
Additional requests for decreased security measures are pending and further research and exploration into SCP-XXXX is ongoing.

INCIDENT REPORT
INCIDENT #: XXXX-001
DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 10/21/2017
During the first experiment involving SCP-XXXX, D-XXXX-001 was unexpectedly terminated following an encounter with SCP-XXXX-1. The anomaly in question moved towards D-XXXX-001 after three (3) minutes of his exploration into SCP-XXXX and proceded to attack his upper body. The speed exhibited by SCP-XXXX-1 demonstrated the dangerous nature of the anomaly and D-XXXX-001 was immediately terminated upon contact with the entity.
Researchers noted that SCP-XXXX-1 acted independently of itself and once D-XXXX-001 was confirmed deceased the instance of SCP-XXXX-1 returned to its' original location within SCP-XXXX. Following this incident, it was noted that no more than three (3) minutes can pass before SCP-XXXX-1 appears visibly disturbed and procedes to attack subjects. Further testing was denied and an expedition into SCP-XXXX was initiated.
All tests involving direct interaction with SCP-XXXX-1 have been suspended until further notice and noted as untenable given SCP-XXXX-1's current nature. - Senior Researcher McIntyre

Exploration Team: D-XXXX-002
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Observation Team: Doctor Hiram Weatherford, Researcher Roman McIntyre, and various on-site Foundation personnel.
[BEGIN LOG]
[The camera opens on an image of a small cottage of traditional design and its appearance seems well maintained despite a few areas in need of some maintenance the house appeared relatively normal. Forward acceleration is noted as the front door comes into view stopping prior to making contact with the handle.]
Researcher McIntyre: "D-002 we are going to perform a final check before you enter are you prepared?"
D-002: "I understand Doc, just let me know what I need to do I'm ready."
Researcher McIntyre: "Good." Researcher McIntyre is heard audibly clearing his throat "It seems our microphones are working so no need to check those… and we have confirmed your helmet-mounted cameras visual feed so that seems in order."
[Several minutes pass as the staff confirms various biometrics for D-002 checking and double-checking that they are fully functional before Researcher McIntyre returns to the radio.]
Researcher McIntyre: "Okay D-002, what about your provisions and equipment? Does everything look to be in order?"
[The camera shakes briefly after a few moments it refocuses on an image of a backpack, D-002 is seen unzipping it.]
D-002: "Just say when Doc."
Researcher McIntyre: "Hydration kit and standard-issue Foundation field rations?"
D-002: "Check."
Researcher McIntyre: "Foundation issue flashlight, chem-lights, and supplied flares?"
D-002: "Check, check, check."
Researcher McIntyre: Standard-issue Foundation field sample kits and individual first aid kit?"
D-002: "Check and check."
Researcher McIntyre: "Almost finished… and don't worry we are not planning on having you stay down there any longer than today, these items are just in case of emergency. As far as we are concerned we are only probing, no deep exploration is on the agenda."
D-002: [D-002 is noticed to elicit an audible sigh of relief.] "Thanks Doc, sure does take a load off my mind."
Researcher McIntyre: "Okay, one last thing… Foundation supplied handgun and supplemental magazines? Still sealed in its unopened plastic bag, correct? Any attempt at using this handgun strictly outside of SCP-XXXX will result in your immediate termination via lethal force, is that understood D-002?"
D-002: "I understand Doc, this isn't my first rodeo. Yes, the handgun is still sealed and unloaded."
[D-002 opens a side compartment on the backpack and shows the handgun still in its original bag. The firearm is a Beretta M92 FS and two additional magazines can be seen next to it.]
Researcher McIntyre: "Excellent… and again John these are just formalities we know how cooperative you have been during your stay with us."
D-002: "I know… you don't think I'll have to use this thing right?"
Researcher McIntyre: "We seriously hope not, yet we are unsure what SCP-XXXX-2 holds within it. Again, this is for emergency use only you are free to load it once you have entered SCP-XXXX-2."
[D-002 nods, zips up the backpack, and motions towards the door.]
D-002: "Is it time?"
Researcher McIntyre: "Yes… everything checks out- oh! One more thing, upon entering the building proceed immediately to the basement door and through it into SCP-XXXX-2. Is that understood D-002?"
D-002: "Crystal clear."
Researcher McIntyre: "Then you are clear to enter SCP-XXXX. Good luck John."
[D-002 opens the door to SCP-XXXX entering it and quickly glancing at his surroundings he spots the living area, kitchen, and finally the basement door next to the far wall. He then proceeds to break into a sprint towards the door reaching it within seconds and flinging it open he pushes himself inside and slams it shut behind him.]
D-002: [ D-002 is heard audibly panting.] "Hey, Doc what woulda happened had I not gotten to the door quick enough?"
Researcher McIntyre: "We wouldn't be speaking that's all I'll say."
D-002: "Wait… didn't you guys try sending Andy in here recently- I mean D-001?"
[Radio silence is observed for several seconds.]
D-002: "Doc? What happened to D-001?"
Researcher McIntyre: "After a period no greater than three minutes in length D-001 was terminated by an instance of SCP-XXXX-1."
D-002: "Okay. What is SCP-XXXX-1?"
Researcher McIntyre: "A self-propelled cabinet."
D-002: "Oh… hell uva' way to go, shame… fucker owed me money."
[Several seconds pass before D-002 pans his camera from the door to the interior of SCP-XXXX-2. Upon doing so he sees a dilapidated flight of wooden stairs descending into a basement superstructure. D-002 proceeds to pull out a flashlight and unseals the bag occupying his supplied firearm loads it, then chambers and continues to move down the staircase.]
D-002: "Will SCP-XXXX-1 have any effect on me leaving this place."
Researcher McIntyre: "As long as you leave within the 3-minute window you should be fine."
D-002: "That sounds pretty arbitrary but okay I can dig it."
Researcher McIntyre: "If we understood the rules to it would cease to be anomalous, however arbitrary that may seem is not up for debate D-002. What is it you currently see."
D-002: "Just this staircase. It's so dark in here I can hardly make anything out even with the damn flashlight, and whoever built this damn staircase really wanted to get their steps in."
[D-002 stops suddenly.]
Researcher McIntyre: "What seems to be the issue D-002?"
D-002: "You didn't see that? It was like the walls were moving or somethin'."
Researcher McIntyre: "That is a negative. John, what do you see can you try and keep the flashlight aligned with the camera?"
[D-002 takes a moment and repositions himself aiming the handgun towards the direction his head is facing and repositions the flashlight to line up alongside it.]
D-002: "Is that better?"
Researcher McIntyre: "Yes perfect we can see… the walls… uh, standby."
D-002: "Whoa- wait Doc!? Don't leave me alone here man it's fuckin' dark."
[Several minutes of radio silence persist, meanwhile D-002 holds his position at the foot of the stairs frequently scanning his surroundings. The walls, floors, and ceiling all appear to be coated in a thick tar-like residue vaguely reminiscent of an epidermal layer.]
D-002: "Hey Doc I think I am going to make my way back up the stairs now this is really starting to freak me out."
[Radio silence ensues.]
D-002: "Doc?"
Researcher McIntyre: I heard you D-002, Doctor Weatherford is here and he would like to have a few words with you, we are patching him in now."
Dr. Weatherford: "D-002, are you feeling all right? No unusual side effects? Anything out of the ordinary?"
D-002: "I'm fine part from the heebie-jeebies. Look I just want to get out of here… this place… I shouldn't be here somethin' ain't right."
Dr. Weatherford: "I understand that D-002, I know it may seem like a lot to deal with but we don't know what is down there and all of our drones fail to make it for very long in the terrain encountered in SCP-XXXX-2-"
[D-002 cuts off Doctor Weatherford mid-sentence.]
D-002: "You guys told me you didn't know what to expect down here! Now you're tellin' me that what… your drones got stuck and you're sendin' me in to find 'em? No way man I am out of here you can sho-"
Dr. Weatherford: "The drones were retrieved with no incident and Researcher McIntyre was telling you the truth earlier. We do not know what to expect so we sent you in there for a preliminary search before we assemble a full team. Now, you have two options before you. Either you continue until notified to stop, or we terminate the test and you will be reassigned to duties within Site-21's Keter-Wing is that understood?"
[Note: Site-21 does not currently possess a Keter-Wing, nor has it ever.]
D-002: [D-002 is heard audibly swearing under his breath.] "Okay fine I get I'm the guinea pig. What now? Do I just keep going further until you tell me to stop?"
Dr. Weatherford: "Yes just as we had planned. Don't worry you'll be down there for maybe another twenty-minutes to an hour then we'll have you sent up and you can relax back in your cell at Site-21. Maybe we could even get you that lava lamp that you requested."
[Note: Site-21 expressly forbids any foreign items within the D-Class facilities.]
"D-002:** "Okay… Dammit fine! But I want my goddamn lava lamp you here me."

Note: These logs were recovered by the second expedition team on 11/20/2017 and D-XXXX-002 is, at this time, presumed deceased.

Subject: SCP-XXXX
Observation Team: Doctor Hiram Weatherford, Researcher Roman McIntyre, and various on-site Foundation personnel.
[BEGIN LOG]
[The camera stutters as it begins the second half of the recording refocusing on the imagery before D-002. The labyrinthine nature of SCP-XXXX-2 was not to be understated as there was the main "room" and then a series of approximately six (6) tunnels ahead of him each sequestered in their own sea of darkness.]
D-002: "Which one should I choose?"
Researcher McIntyre: "Any of them will do, just remember to throw down a couple chem-lights or a leave a flare so you can have a reference as you proceed deeper into SCP-XXXX-2."
D-002: "Right… just give me a second." [D-002 pulls out a handful of chem-lights and as he walks he makes sure to count his steps and around every fifty (50) to sixty (60) steps he restarts his count, drops a chem-light, and continues onward inside the tunnel. This pattern continues for approximately five (5) minutes.]
D-002: "Okay, I feel like I am getting nowhere. How far is this supposed to go again?"
Researcher McIntyre: "Unknown, it is presumed anomalous in its length and that is what we are trying to confirm. Have you noticed anything else as you have been traveling? Anything out of the realm of normalcy?"
D-002: "Not really asides from the walls that seem to be… moist… and at times it looks like movement is visible but I haven't actually seen anything. I just feel… I dunno like something is watching me."
Researcher McIntyre: "Have you tried turning around perhaps there is something Is there behind you?"
D-002: [D-002 slowly pivots 180 degrees and waits a few moments before turning about.] "Nothin', 'cept for some roaches, the occasional rats, and - oh yeah this smell of shit. Seriously where is that coming from."
Researcher McIntyre: "Well, It might just be the environment, try taking a sample."
D-002: "Oh, right that would probably be a good idea."
[D-002 is shown kneeling to a crouched position and begins opening his bag removing the sample kit and beginning to collect a sample from one of the walls. He uses a pair of forceps and pinches off a piece of the surface and deposits it within one of the supplied bags, seals it, and then returns the contents to the backpack.]
D-002: "Well… that was easy. Usually when we go to do this sorta stuff crazy shit starts crawling out from the walls like in Aliens' or the walls start bleeding. This has so far been pretty uneventful."
Researcher McIntyre: "Hopefully, it continues to stay that way. John, do you have enough chem-lights to proceed further into SCP-XXXX-2?"
[D-002 takes a quick inventory of his person. After a few moments, he gives brief a thumbs up.]
D-002: "I have enough to probably last me another… let's say twelve (12) minutes if I keep it up at this pace. I would ideally like to start making my way back…"
Researcher McIntyre: I know John, but we need you to keep going at least until you run out of chem-lights. Then you can start making your way back to us."
D-002: "Okay Doc but as soon as I'm outta these glowsticks I am booking it to that door. I'd rather take my chances with the cabinets."
Researcher McIntyre: "That's what they all say…" [Researcher McIntyre muttered.]
D-002: "What was that?"
Researcher McIntyre: "Oh, nothing please continue the exploration D-002."
[Several minutes pass and D-002's pace has slowed noticeably.]
D-002: "Holy shit… I think I see Andy!"
[D-002 slowly shines the light over a putrified corpse wearing the distinctive Foundation D-Class jumpsuit. D-XXXX-001 is visible on the corpses back.]
D-002: "I thought you said he died from falling cabinets?"
Researcher McIntyre: "I said self-propelled, as in they hurl themselves- nevermind uh, standby D-002."
D-002: "Oh again with this shit!? Fuck I really shoulda brought a deck a cards or somethin'."
[Several moments pass before radio contact resumes.]
Researcher McIntyre: "D-002- John are you there?"
D-002: "Yeah Doc, I'm still where you left me, all alone and twiddling my thumbs. Why what's up?"
Researcher McIntyre: "We are recommending you make your way back to the staircase as soon as possible."
D-002: "What- why? Has Andy's body really freaked you guys out this much? We all knew what we signed up for during orientation. What's the big deal you guys are the ones who did this to 'em."
Researcher McIntyre: "D-002 are you stating that you would like to proceed further into SCP-XXXX-2?"
D-002: "No I'm not. You don't need to tell me twice I'm gonna start making my way back to the entrance now."
[D-002 pivots and begins jogging towards the entrance of SCP-XXXX-2.]
D-002: "Hey Doc I just wanted to thank you."
Researcher McIntyre: "For what John?"
D-002: "For that… you know using my name. When you are called a number for so long and treated like dirt it feels… well it feels good when someone uses your name and treats you like a person."
Researcher McIntyre: "I'm sure you'd do the same for me if our roles were reversed, John."
D-002: "I'm not so sure."
[Several seconds of silence ensue. D-002 suddenly deadens his jog and begins to scan the environment and after a few moments, D-002's camera rocks violently and crashes to the ground. D-002's microphone is still functional however and audio is still being received and recorded. For nearly ten minutes D-002 is heard audibly panting and gasping for air.]
Researcher McIntyre: "John are you still with us?"
[Several more minutes pass until gunshots are audibly recorded. The rapport of gunfire is reported to occur sporadically for several seconds only stopping briefly until a final lone gunshot is heard. At this point all vitals monitoring D-002 flatline and D-002 is presumed deceased.]

Mad Dog: "All right we're live, nobody hot mike during the briefing understand? Keep things professional and everything will be fine. Cameras on let's start this party."
[Various signs of agreement were given in acknowledgment.]
[Multiple camera feeds are visible, each one pointing towards a group of armed individuals huddled around in a circle, a single one stands slightly afar from the others and is directing operations and logistics.]
Mad Dog: "Hey, Rainmaker get your ass over here we need to contact the TOC5 before proceeding."
Rainmaker: "Roger Squad leader."
Mad Dog: "Command, we're on-site awaiting further orders, over."
Command: "Roger that Mad Dog we read you and we have your feed, standby for orders over."
Mad Dog: "Roger that command, over."
Command: "Mad Dog, your squad's primary objective is to insert into SCP-XXXX-2, take and recover as many field samples as possible, conduct an exploration into the superstructure and document anything you may encounter along the way, Your secondary objectives are to confirm D-002's status, currently he is presumed deceased as all of his vitals and biometric reading flatlined, however, we do not know the extent of the anomalous properties within SCP-XXXX. He could still be alive down there. You are not to prioritize the D-Class's retrieval over the lives of your team or your primary objectives is that understood? Over."
Mad Dog: "Understood Command priority one is exploration and sample taking. What's the ROE6 when we get down there, over?"
Command: "Current Rules of Engagement are if it looks hostile you are clear to engage however we still do not fully understand what is down there or what the properties of SCP-XXXX-2 are in its entirety. You may want to have your men exercise some trigger discipline Squad Leader. Over."
Mad Dog: "Rog, we'll exercise caution. If there is nothing further are we free to begin the operation? Over."
Command: "You are free to engage. We will be keeping in contact throughout your operation inform us of any findings. Containment teams are on standby in case of emergency. Over."
Mad Dog: "Understood Command we are beginning the operation. Over and out."
[The Squad Leader places the radio down and turns to address the squad.]
Mad Dog: "All right you heard the man let's keep it tight, I want Bravo on the outside of the skip in case things start gettin' spooky. Alpha you're with me we're gonna reconnoiter the skip and set up a rally point. Grab one of the dogs and let's move. Keep your freqs to team communications only use squad comms unless it's an emergency I only want Becker and me to be on that channel. No funny business boys, get your game faces on. Now is everyone ready?"
[All Task Force members look around nod and give a thumbs-up as confirmation. After a short period all members of Fireteam Alpha file towards the entrance to SCP-XXXX. Upon reaching the door and taking positions they enter the building and proceed into SCP-XXXX-2. As they enter the stairway they halt and discuss their surroundings.]
Ice: "Pretty dark in here we should use the NVG's."
Mad Dog: "Agreed, light'em up boys."
[A brief moment passes and all visible light from the MTF members ceases, then the cameras night-vision feature turns on and the members proceed further down into SCP-XXXX-2.]
Chef: "So boss, why didn't we bring any explosives down here? We could easily collapse the stairway and trap whatever is down there."
Mad Dog: "Site leadership thinks otherwise, I don't know what the eggheads are thinking but they must have their reasons. Now can it and let's move. We don't know what's down here so let's proceed quietly."
[A minute passes and the MTF members exit the stairway and enter into the main chamber of SCP-XXXX-2. Six (6) tunnels are visible before the fireteam and following a quick sweep of the main chamber they assume crouched stances and begin scanning periodically.]
Mad Dog: "Okay this looks like a good as place as any to set up overwatch. Ice, Seeker you two post up here and monitor us as we proceed further inside. If we lose contact radio Becker, and have him assume command. If things get dicey here bug out, we'll improvise."
Seeker: "Roger that, I'll set up my equipment and monitor you guys as you go further in."
Mad Dog: "Before we move we're gonna set up some clackers near these other tunnels just so we don't get any surprises. You guys should also keep the Argos just in case it's a skip that is not visible on any spectrum. Again if it looks like something you can't handle withdraw, I don't want any casualties today. Is that understood?"
Ice: "Rog, we'll keep our eyes peeled and if it gets too hot we'll give the signal to Bravo. You guys have fun in there try not to get tickled by any nasties you come across."
Glass: "Ice one day your mouth is gonna write a check you can't cash… and when that day comes I hope I have a camera to catch it on film."
Mad Dog: "All right lock it up people keep comm chatter to a minimum. Chef, Glass you're with me, let's move."

[BEGIN LOG]
[The log begins as MTF D-7 members Mad Dog, Chef, and Glass are beginning their descent into the tunnel network of SCP-XXXX-2. They maintain a staggered approach and pause frequently to observe their surroundings.]
Mad Dog: "Remember to watch your spacing and background in here before you start engaging. I don't want any blue-on-blue."
Glass: "Wilco. Hey, bossman why do we always get the jobs that involve dark places and tight corridors. Like, couldn't we get a skip that's- I dunno- in a clearing in the middle of the day with like flowers or some shit?"
Chef: "Aren't you supposed to be the Hazardous Items Specialist? Don't tell me your scared Glass."
Glass: "I'm not scared, just want to know why we always have to hoof it inside some smelly ass cave."
Mad Dog: "I'll admit when they approached me with my contract for the Foundation I wasn't expecting to fight god-like monstrosities or reality-bending threats but, you can't complain when the extra zeroes on your check come in."
Chef: "The mans gotta point."
Glass: "Yeah… I know. Just doesn't make me feel any better is all."
[After thirteen (13) minutes of continual exploration MTF D-7's members stopped and entered raised stances assuming a ready to fire posture.]
Mad Dog: "Seeker you copy. Over."
Seeker: "I copy. What's up Squad lead? Over."
Mad Dog: "We heard some noises up ahead. We're gonna check it out. If we lose contact, wait thirty (30) mikes then contact Becker and signal containment if you don' hear back from us. Do you still have our feed? Over."
Seeker: "Rog, I still have your feed. Over."
Mad Dog: "All right continue to monitor us as we continue egressing further. Over and out."
[The members of Fireteam Alpha resumed moving further inside SCP-XXXX-2 collected a few samples and paused briefly before continuing further into SCP-XXXX-2.]
SCP-XXXX-3: "Howdy!"

Chef: "Holy shit! Where did he come from!?"
[The members of Fireteam Alpha spun around and aimed their rifles at the instance of SCP-XXXX-3. Note: At this time the operatives that encountered SCP-XXXX-3 stated it was a humanoid male, Homo Sapiens, and assumed dialogue with the entity. Further, no audio was recovered from this encounter and has been reconstructed from accounts of Delta-7's experience with the anomaly.]
Mad Dog: "Sir, are you harmed in any way? Can you tell me your name or what you are doing down here?"
SCP-XXXX-3: "I am Mr. Pockets, of Mr. Pockets' Realty Firm. Surely you musta' heard of me by now? I am pretty big in the market round 'er!"
Chef: "Is this guy serious right now? Does he not realize we are in a cave. How is he even seeing us right now there is no light."
SCP-XXXX-3: "I've got great vision! Ev'r since I was a lil' babe my momma tol' me I could see it all. Could I interest you fine gentlemen in a business card? I always like to meet new clients -oh and hey you could tell your friends!"
[Members of Delta-7 state that SCP-XXXX-3 held out a small business card with, "Mr. Pockets Realty Firm, LLC," and offered them the chance to become apart of his clientele.]
Seeker: "Boss! Boss! Do you read? Over."
Mad Dog: " Seeker this is Mad Dog, I read what's wrong?"
Seeker: "Boss we've been tryin' to radio you for the past 3 minutes! Do you not see that thing in front of you!?"
Mad Dog: "What, you mean the dude in the cowboy boots?"
Seeker: "What!? Tell Glass to deploy an SRA and be quick about it! Over."
[Mad Dog signaled Glass to deploy a Scranton Reality Anchor. After several moments passed and no change in the stance or pattern of SCP-XXXX-3 was observed the MTF members turned on their rifle-mounted strobe lights and aimed them towards SCP-XXXX-3.]
Mad Dog: "Seeker what exactly do you see? What the fuck are we not seeing?"
Glass: "Hey, yo boss… Look at the guy's shadow. Why is it so huge?"
Seeker: "Mad Dog, I am seeing a ten (10) foot tall bug in front of you. It is the biggest fucking spider I have ever seen- wait one Squad leader Ice is coming over to the screen."
Ice: "Jesus Christ, what the fuck is that? Seeker, are you looking at your weird hentai again?"
Mad Dog: "Everyone quiet goddammit! Chef, Glass we are withdrawing bound back and cover each other as we go, and keep an eye on the skip. Seeker, Ice document it for the log and brace for contact there is no telling what this thing is or what it wants-"
SCP-XXXX-3: "I just want to be your friend, I very rarely get to meet new people nowadays. Well, there was that one fella' recently, but he met my friends first and they took a likin' ta him. Heard they had a nice meal together!"
Chef: "See this is why we needed fuckin' explosives. You don't send the demolitions expert in without explosives, it's like rule one (1) on how to not fuck an MTF."
Mad Dog: "Stow it Chef and move!"

[Following the encounter with SCP-XXXX-3 members of Delta-7 made their return to the established rally point at the mouth of the tunnel.]
Mad Dog: "Is that thing following us?"
Glass: "Nah, I don't see it. What about you Chef see anything?"
Chef: "Negative, I think it just watched us leave. Seeker you guys seeing anything?"
Seeker: "Nope nothing on our end. Whatever it was it didn't seem to keen on following you."
Mad Dog: "It didn't seem hostile. Okay, what's the working theory on this one boys?"
Glass: "My money's on cognitohazard."
Seeker: "But it didn't affect Ice or me at all. My bet is that it's a sort of anti-meme."
Ice: "Gotta agree with Seeker on this one. He knows his memes."
Chef: "Maybe it's telepathic? Like the shining or somethin'?"
Mad Dog: "Dunno… But we won't find out just sitting here and gawking let's scope out the rest of this place and report back."
[Before they could begin moving a hail came in through the radio.]
Becker: "Mad Dog this is Becker come in. Over."
Mad Dog: "Go for Mad Dog. Over."
Becker: "Mad Dog command is wanting an update I'm patching them through now."
Command: "Mad Dog, this is command do you read us. Over."
Mad Dog: "Loud and clear sir. Over."
Command: "We just received the video from your team involving what we are now labeling SCP-XXXX-3. You are to continue proceeding into the anomalous structure, however, once you have finished your exploration you are to report directly to on-site containment teams and are to be assigned to quarantine until further notice is that understood?"
Mad Dog: "Understood sir, are we to believe that the skip was contagious?"
Command: "That is unknown at this time Squad Leader, we are just taking every precaution we can until we fully understand the situation. Continue the operation, Command out."
Mad Dog: "Well boys I hope you like hot showers and gettin' probed and poked all day."
Ice: "I could go for some R&R. Why does Command want to send us to scout out a day spa after this?"
Glass: "Following contact with a new anomalous entity any personnel involved with said entity are to be quarantined until further notice. Sorry Ice but the day spa will half to wait. Good news though, you'll be getting touchy-feely with all the nurses and doctors so I'm sure that'll put some jingle in your bells."
Ice: "Shit, If I have to spend Christmas in another fuckin' lab I'm gonna shoot myself."
Mad Dog: "Police your mouths both of you Command wants us to continue exploration, then we get the showers. Now, same teams as before let's move people and keep your eyes peeled for anything else."
