Mr. ██████: Fuck dude, what am I even doing? You're just having me read a bunch of random shit at this thing. How much longer am I gonna be here? Is this a test or something? I really need to piss.
Dr. Cooper: Look I don't have much more of an idea of what's going to happen than you do, which is why we're doing this. Fuck, it really should've done something by now, at least if any of the disks that came with it are any indication.
Mr. ██████: Don't you think if something was going to happen, it would've by now? Can we just call this a fail and pack up please?
Dr. Cooper: Not necessarily, my previous team and I were testing a candidate for six months before any anomalies presented. Well, more like six days but whatever.
Mr. ██████: How did you know it was even anomalous then?
Dr. Cooper: The bodies at the scene where we found it made it pretty clear. Whatever gets you to shut up.
Mr. ██████: Is that thing still recording?

… and although experts are unable to provide definitive answers as to what caused such a widespread blackout, we have been assured that as many as 95% of affected homes will have their power restored within the next twenty four hours. How the hell does this shit even happen? A blackout this big should have a god damned explanation, not just silence. No "definitive answers" isn't good radio.

… some rather big news in the world of Astronomy today. NASA has just confirmed Voyager 2 has left the solar system, as of yesterday. Voyager 2 is now the second ever man-made object to enter the interstellar void, second only to Voyager 1. Jesus Christ I gotta get some Tylenol at lunch, this headache is relentless. Both launched from Earth in 1977, Voyager 1 and 2 each began their own journey through space, taking advantage of the planet's positions to take a grand tour of the solar system. This tour gave us never before seen pictures of the planets before finally beginning their long voyage to the edge of interstellar space. Thanks to Voyager 2's plasma spectrometer, scientists were able to detect the moment Voyager 2 transitioned from the warm solar plasma, to the cold interstellar medium. Who the hell is gonna make sense of that? As with Voyager 1 on August 20th 2012, November 5th 2018 marks a milestone for astronomical science. Damn, is this the best we've got today? Slow day for science news I guess.

Dr. Ruskin: "Did you hear the news about Voyager 2?" It sounds like exciting stuff, as far as I can tell.
Dr. Ebner: "God, don't get me started on NASA." NASA has been such a damn disappointment the last decade. Couldn't even predict an eclipse right. Didn't know it was gonna happen till the moon was red in the sky.
Dr. Ruskin: "Why, what do you mean?" I thought NASA was in pretty good standing with the foundation.
Dr. Ebner: "They get all this damn acclaim when half the time it's our guys making the breakthroughs, and they don't even know it." Hell, my team and I discovered gravity waves back in August of 2012, years before LIGO did, but none of that will ever be public.
Dr. Ruskin: "It's still cool though."
Dr. Ebner: "Two of our guys are on that damn project!" Pretty sure we even had a hand in this, but will we get any credit? No.
Dr. Ruskin: "Seriously? Who?"
Dr. Ebner: "Ummm… Dr. Ward and Dr. Merlo if I remember correctly, but they'll never get any credit, all they'll get is silence."
Dr. Ruskin: "Huh, had no idea"
Dr. Ebner: "And neither does the public."
Dr. Ruskin: "Jesus dude, I just said it was cool." Why are you in such a bad mood?

Mr. Ryder: "Odd… have audits like this happened before?" This feels like a big thing. Is this why people seem so weird and stressed out?
Dr. Gage: "I don't think so, I mean there's checkups, but nothing like this."
Mr. Ryder: "So this is serious?"
Dr. Gage: "Oh yeah, big time." Seems to me it's 50/50 this place gets decommissioned completely.
Mr. Ryder: "Huh, so that's why everyone's been on edge."
Dr. Gage: "Maybe." We've been preparing for this for months and everyone seemed fine and ready. So I'm not so sure.
Mr. Ryder: "What happens if we fail the audit?" Shit, I moved all the way from Washington just to be out of the job?
Dr. Gage: "Could be they do a full personnel clean out, or scrap Site-4 all together."
Mr. Ryder: "Jesus that seems a bit extreme."
Dr. Gage: "Honestly, after the breach of 2010 I don't blame them." This place hasn't really earned any trust back yet.
Mr. Ryder: "The breach of — wait that was here?"
Dr. Gage: "Yup, this place used to be one of the bigger storage sites, now it's light research only. That's probably why they're testing that thing out in the open, trying to show that this place has merit." I hate that they're testing an SCP on us. We're scientists, not fucking D-Class.

Mr. Fisher: "No dude, you look wrecked." It's nice to know it's not just me.
Mr. Kirch: "Thanks."
Mr. Fisher: "You alright?" What the hell? you've always been a morning person, what is with everyone lately? This place is never this quiet.
Mr. Kirch: "Yeah, just not getting a lot of sleep." These awful dreams, I can't stand it. That damn pit.
Mr. Fisher: "Ah, yeah I feel that. Is it the audit?"
Mr. Kirch: "A bit… I don't know, just been feeling weird the past few weeks. Tired as hell but just can't sleep."
Mr. Fisher: "Seems to be going around." I've never heard this place be so silent.
Mr. Kirch: "Last time I was this exhausted was studying for my last final at UBC."
Mr. Fisher: "Shit."
Mr. Kirch: "I literally slept for two days after."
Mr. Fisher: "No, seriously?"
Mr. Kirch: "Absolutely, I woke up two days later and just thought 'why am I so hungry?' Then my room mate at the time asked where I'd been for two days." A couple days of sleep would feel pretty great about now.

Dr. Fondo: "Oh yeah, are you doing okay about the whole uh… Jacob thing?" Seriously, you've been pretty quiet today, do you want to talk about it?
Dr. Sachan: "Hmm? Oh yeah, that. Yeah i'm alright."
Dr. Fondo: "Heard you knew him." Really? Then why have you been silent all day?
Dr. Sachan: "Yeah, but not that well. We were room mates for a while back in California." I haven't talked to him in years, all I knew was that he was some kind of intermediary between the foundation and NASA.
Dr. Virgo: "What happened? Who are we talking about?"
Dr. Fondo: "Dr. Merlo, he's a foundation researcher and astrophysicist. He committed suicide a few weeks ago." Holy shit you really are out of the loop.
Dr. Virgo: "Oh my God… do they know why?" Is this what everyone's been so bummed about?
Dr. Sachan: "Not sure, there wasn't a note or anything, probably depression or something." Probably just a regular suicide.
Dr. Virgo: "Well shit that sucks."
Dr. Sachan: "Yeah."
Dr. Virgo: "Didn't we have another researcher who Committed suicide a while back?" This sounds really familiar to me for some reason.
Dr. Sachan: "Not sure."
Dr. Fondo: "Yeah I remember that. Lexi Ward I think. Back in 2012"
Dr. Virgo: "Well this isn't exactly a stress free job." I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often to be honest.

Dr. Seymour: "Take it you didn't manage to find any?" Accidents are gonna start happening if you don't get some sleep.
Dr. Bilici: "Nah, they were all sold out"
Dr. Seymour: "Seriously? That sucks. I can give you some of mine-"
Dr. Bilici: "No, no it's okay, I'll be alright. Those things give me weird dreams anyway." I don't really want to sleep, I've been having some pretty messed up dreams as is.
Dr. Seymour: "Oh yeah?" Maybe that's where they're coming from…
Dr. Bilici: "Yep, every time." last night it was like I was drifting through either the ocean or space i couldn't really tell.
Dr. Seymour: "Huh, like weird psychedelic stuff?"
Dr. Bilici: "Well, not really. More just… I don't know, hard to describe." I couldn't really see anything. Everything was super dark, it's more like I just… felt stuff I guess. At first I was just drifting for a long time, just going farther and farther out until suddenly everything went silent, and cold, and dark. Like, it was already dark and quiet but this was different, and then all I felt was this presence, this… emptiness. Emptier than empty. I instantly closed my eyes for some reason. I didn't even know what it was or how I knew it was there, but I felt like I shouldn't look. It was fucking weird.
Dr. Seymour: "Fair enough."

Mr. ████████: "Let me just say by the way, congrats on the Voyager thing by the way." Well fuck, I forgot to bring this up weeks ago, now it's gonna seem forced or fake or something.
Dr. Logan: "Ha, thanks."
Ms. Charles: "What thing?"
Mr. ████████: "Voyager 2 just left the solar system a few weeks ago."
Dr. Logan: "November 5th, yeah."
Ms. Charles: "Oh awesome, you were a part of that?" Why didn't you tell us?
Dr. Logan: "Tangentially, yes. I consulted with Lexi on Voyager 1 and oversaw information control on Voyager 2." I was only a small part really, no big deal.
Ms. Charles: "Wow, that's super cool! I bet it's a relief now that it's all done. Wait… is it done?" What are they doing now, isn't deep space pretty boring?
Dr. Logan: "Basically, they still send out very basic readings, but nothing big."
Mr. Palmer: "I wonder what it would look like if they turned it around and took a picture from where they are now."
Dr. Logan: "It's funny, we actually did try that; turning the camera on after it reached the Inter stellar medium." I'm kind of disappointed I never got to see a "pale blue dot" kind of picture from either of them.
Ms. Charles: "Seriously?"
Dr. Logan: "Yup."
Mr. Palmer: "What did it look like?"
Dr. Logan: "No idea. As far as I know they never got the pictures back. I remember hearing confirmation that Lexi was going to do it with Voyager 1, but I don't remember ever getting confirmation that it actually happened. Same thing this time." Pretty sure some of the sensors are broken.
Mr. Palmer: "Well that sucks."

Mr. Sullivan: "Oh, either of you see that eclipse?" All this damn silence is awkward, usually can't shut you two up.
Dr. Black: "The lunar eclipse? Yeah it was great."
Mr. Sullivan: "It was crazy right? Felt like the Moon was way bigger." There, that's a bit better.
Dr. Joshi: "I missed it, I was working on that damn Amsterdam project." I never used to work so many night shifts.
Mr. Sullivan: "I thought you finished that weeks ago."
Dr. Joshi: "I did, I was almost done when the eclipse happened."
Mr. Sullivan: "But the eclipse was last night."
Dr. Joshi: "What? No way, it was like three weeks ago." Am I crazy?
Mr. Sullivan: "That's not possible. there can't be two in a month, can there?" I'm not an astrophysicist but this seems unlikely.
Dr. Black: He's right, I remember; it was on the fifth."
Dr. Joshi: "You sure you saw it yesterday?" I know we've all been overworked but this is ridiculous.
Mr. Sullivan: "Yeah, for sure. It was last night when I was walking my dog by the beach. I remember because my dog was being a huge pain in the ass, and I noticed a person standing by the water looking out at the moon. Then I looked up and saw it was bright red. That was definitely yesterday." He didn't want to walk near the beach, actually neither did I. It creeped me out for some reason.
Dr. Black: "To be honest I'm too tired to care who's right."

Mr. Cassel: "One more time, how many days 'till the auditors leave?" Kill me already, I'm sick and tired of this audit. It's bullshit.
Mr. Schomer: "Three after today."
Mr. Cassel: "Awesome, wake me up when they're gone."
Mr. Schomer: "Very funny. Hey are you going to the get together on Friday?"
Mr. Cassel: "Oh shit, yeah. Forgot about that." I just heard about that yesterday too… shit's a blur.
Mr. Schomer: "You've been doing that a lot." Come on, I know he's tired but so is everyone else. Get over it.
Mr. Cassel: "Yeah, yeah… probably the night shifts."
Mr. Schomer: "Fair." That makes sense, they're draining at the best of times.
Mr. Cassel: "You've done some night shifts right?"
Mr. Schomer: "Yeah once or twice."
Mr. Cassel: "Last night on my way home I saw some weird people around. Get many of those?" I don't know. Maybe it's not that weird, maybe people are just like that here.
Mr. Schomer: "Oh yeah, drunk people and crackheads for sure."
Mr. Cassel: "Not really like that."
Mr. Schomer: "What do you mean?"
Mr. Cassel: "Just every couple blocks there was a person just standing there, totally still, just silent. Some were in the park, some were in the street, some were in yards." It felt like they were looking at me, even though their heads were looking up.
Mr. Schomer: "Were they looking at anything, was there something up there?"
Mr. Cassel: "Nope. I didn't check, I didn't want to look.
Mr. Schomer: "Did they look high or something?"
Mr. Cassel: "I don't know, it was to dark to see their faces or anything."
Mr. Schomer: "Ooh spooky."
Mr. Cassel: "Shut up."
Mr. Schomer: "I think you've been working too many nights." You are way too paranoid.

Mr. Grube: "Kelly doesn't remember anything, you have to tell me what happened Friday. I completely blacked out." Even Kelly got blackout drunk, that never happens.
Ms. Seaver: "Don't worry, nothing too heinous. You were actually being pretty responsible…ish. You even texted me that you made it home and were gonna pass out." huh, really didn't seem drunk enough for a blackout.
Mr. Grube: "Really?" Then How the hell did I end up at the beach? Doesn't sound very responsible to me.
Ms. Seaver: "Yup."
Mr. Grube: "Well then I was lying."
Ms. Seaver: "What?" Did you drink more after you left or something?
Mr. Grube: I didn't wake up at home, I woke up at the beach."
Ms. Seaver: "What? You're kidding."
Mr. Grube: "No seriously, I swear. I woke up at like five AM to the sound of waves and this super low bass sound."
Ms. Seaver: "Oh like cargo ships?"
Mr. Grube: "Nah, lower and more like, rhythmic. Pretty sure it was my head pounding." Weird thing was, when I woke up I didn't actually feel hungover. Just had the same headache I've had for the last two weeks.
Ms. Seaver: "Dude, you have got to stop going so hard at parties."

Dream study begins:
Test 1:
Subject Hiromi report:
I was standing at the shore of a beach at night. It was cold and quiet. I felt really freaked out for some reason but nothing happened. I just stood there looking up at the clouds. I woke up just as they were uncovering the moon.
Side B:
It was the same dream I've had for weeks. Everything was silent. Then there was this feeling like… like something was looking for me, or listening for me. It was trying to get to me. I was standing at a beach at night; I wasn't running away from whatever was after me, just standing there. I felt frozen.
The clouds were all moving but the water wasn't. The moon was there too, sitting on the horizon, big and glowing this angry red. It felt like it was staring at me. In the middle of the water was a giant dark hole, this great big void. It was awful. There was this sound that came from it, like really slow and deep heart beat. I didn't really hear it as much as felt it.
Oh, and then there was the figure. It was behind me this time, I could tell. It was really close this time too, gave me this feeling… I was pretty sure it was going to talk. Then I woke up.
December 20, 2018
Test 2:
Subject Dougal report:
I was somewhere downtown I think, just standing in the street at night. Everything was quiet though. It was creepy. there wasn't really anyone around, but I was freaked out. All I did was stand there looking around. Last thing I remember before waking up was seeing a kind of… pot hole behind me in the middle of the road.
Side B:
I was in the middle of downtown, right at Howe and Georgia. It was night, but there wasn't anyone around, and the sky was red. I felt weird too, like… cold? But also like when you're being chased, but like I said there wasn't anyone around, just silence.
After a while I started to look around, and the feeling just got worse. Then I saw it. This giant hole in the street. It was round and about 30 feet wide. I didn't see anything in it, it was just black but… I couldn't look at it. It was bad. Then when the feeling was at it's worst I looked to my right, and there was this silhouette standing about a block away. I only looked at it for a second before waking up, but I knew it was staring at me.
