<Begin Log>
Log begins with Agent Hertzz standing on the front porch of a house, accompanied by Michael King, a civilian officer. He moves forward and knocks on the door.
Agent Hertzz: Hello?
Thirteen seconds pass before the door is answered by Erin Mulligan, the owner of the home.
Agent Hertzz: Hello, ma'am. You reported a missing person to 911 around 12:45 today?
Erin Mulligan: Yeah, I did. Uuhh… just follow me.
Agent Hertzz: Okay…
Erin steps aside to let the two men enter, which they do. She then closes the door behind them before leading them up a nearby staircase. After reaching the top, the group walks some distance down a hallway before stopping in front of a door. Erin turns to face the other two.
Erin Mulligan: I… I really don't know how to prepare you for what you're about to see. I, um… just be prepared, okay?
Agent Hertzz: Okay…
Erin opens the door, revealing SCP-XXXX-1, and gestures for the other two to enter. Agent Hurtzz hesitates a moment before entering. He is transported to SCP-XXXX-2 upon crossing the threshold. He exclaims and immediately steps backwards, causing him to be transported back to his previous location.
Michael King: -the fuck?!
Agent Hertzz: [Exclamation]
Agent Hertzz turns to look at Erin, who remains standing still.
Erin Mulligan: I…
Erin sighs and gestures for the other two to follow her before entering SCP-XXXX-1. Agent Hertzz turns and looks at Michael, who acts bewildered. He then turns back towards SCP-XXXX-1 and, with further hesitation, enters, transporting him to SCP-XXXX-2, where he sees Erin standing with a flashlight. He makes room for Michael to enter before examining his surroundings. He turns towards the entry point and waits for Michael, who appears after fourteen seconds of waiting. His fists are clenched and shoulders are tensed when he comes through.
Agent Hertzz: Well… you know how this happened?
Erin Mulligan: No idea. I just… came into his room, and found this, and I don't…
Erin's eyes become focused on one spot on the floor, her expression rigid. Her eyes become watery for a moment, before returning to normal. She stays like this for a few moments before continuing.
Erin Mulligan: I don't know where he is.
Several seconds of silence follow.
Agent Hertzz: So… you think we ought to look in here?
Michael King: What?
Erin Mulligan: Yes, please; that's… yeah.
Erin turns around and begins walking, the other two following her. They continue in silence for several minutes before Erin illuminates a tarantula to their right. They all stop.
Michael King: Okay, what… what the fuck is this?! Why are we walking through some random… magic cave in your house that has tarantulas in it?!
Erin Mulligan: I haven't seen this before; I, um… I haven't come this far.
Agent Hertzz: Hey, Michael, I know this is… freaky, but please do try to stay calm.
Michael looks at him and sighs. They continue walking. Approximately ten minutes later, SCP-XXXX-3 becomes visible. They all stop, and are silent for several moments.
Michael King: Okay, no. We're fucking leaving.
Michael turns and begins walking away.
SCP-XXXX-3: Hello?
Erin gasps.
SCP-XXXX-3: Wait, no! Please don't go!
Erin Mulligan: Oh my gosh.
SCP-XXXX-3: Mom?!
Michael King: Wha…
Erin appears to get dizzy, losing her balance and putting her face in her hands.
SCP-XXXX-3: Mom?!
Erin Mulligan: Yes. Yes, it's me, sweetie.
SCP-XXXX-3: Mom! Mom, please, I… I don't know what happened to me; I can't see anything!
Erin Mulligan: I… d-don't worry, we're gonna…
Silence.
Erin Mulligan: We're gonna find some… we're… oh, my head…
Erin's breathing gets slower and heavier, and she puts her head back in her hands.
Erin Mulligan: Don't worry, sweetie.
Erin stays in this position, her breathing continuing to be slow and heavy.
Agent Hertzz: I'm gonna go call someone.
Agent Hertzz turns and walks back to the exit point of SCP-XXXX-2, using his own flashlight. He re-enters the house, and does something to his radio that allows him to contact his station.
Agent Hertzz: Dispatch, I found something odd.
