ALONE
Twilight enters a dark hallway from the door she just opened. She was creeped out by the eerie silence after hearing gunfire. She enter a small room on her right and saw batteries. She didn't hesitate, but she took it, thinking that no one would know. She crossed down the hallway, finding another room with a gas mask and a document. She took both of them, reading the document:
SCP
Secure Contain Protect
Item #: SCP-173
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-173 is to be kept in a locked container at all times. When personnel must enter SCP-173's container, no fewer than 3 may enter at any time and the door is to be relocked behind them. At all times, two persons must maintain direct eye contact with SCP-173 until all personnel have vacated and relocked the container.
Description: Moved to Site19 1993. Origin is as of yet unknown. It is constructed from concrete and rebar with traces of Krylon brand spray paint. SCP-173 is animate and extremely hostile. The object cannot move while within a direct line of sight. Line of sight must not be broken at any time with SCP-173. Personnel assigned to enter container are instructed to alert one another before blinking. Object is reported to attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull, or by strangulation. In the event of an attack, personnel are to observe Class 4 hazardous object containment procedures.
Personnel report sounds of scraping stone originating from within the container when no one is present inside. This is considered normal, and any change in this behaviour should be reported to the acting HMCL supervisor on duty.
The reddish brown substance on the floor is a combination of feces and blood. Origin of these materials is unknown. The enclosure must be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis.
She puts the document on her pocket. As she opened another door, leading to a office. The office had another document in it, a navigator of some sort, a keycard and a notification. She took the navigator then reads the document. It said:
SCP
Secure Contain Protect
Item #: SCP-106
Object Class: Keter
No physical interaction with SCP-106 is allowed at any time. All physical interaction must be approved by no less than a two-thirds vote from O5-Command. Any such interaction must be undertaken in AR-II maximum security sites, after a general non-essential staff evacuation. All staff (Research, Security, Class D, etc.) are to remain at least sixty meters away from the containment cell at all times, except in the event of breach events.
SCP-106 is to be contained in a sealed container, comprised of lead-lined steel. The container will be sealed within forty layers of identical material, each layer separated by no less than 36cm of empty space. Support struts between layers are to be randomly spaced. Container is to remain suspended no less than 60cm from any surface by ELO-IID electromagnetic supports.
Secondary containment area is to be comprised of sixteen spherical “cells”, each filled with various fluids and a random assembly of surfaces and supports. Secondary containment is to be fitted with light systems, capable of flooding the entire assembly with no less than 80,000 lumens of light instantly with no direct human involvement. Both containment areas are to remain under 24 hour surveillance.
Any corrosion observed on any containment cell surfaces, staff members, or other site locations within two hundred meters of SCP-106 are to be reported to Site Security immediately. Any objects or personnel lost to SCP-106 are to be deemed missing/KIA. No recovery attempts are to be made under any circumstances.
Note: Continued research and observation have shown that, when faced with highly complex/random assemblies of structures, SCP-106 can be “confused”, showing a marked delay on entry and exit from said structure. SCP-106 has also shown an aversion to direct, sudden light. This is not manifested in any form of physical damage, but a rapid exit in to the “pocket dimension” generated on solid surfaces.
These observations, along with those of lead-aversion and liquid confusion, have reduced the general escape incidents by 43%. The “primary” cells have also been effective in recovery incidents requiring Recall Protocol ██ -███ -█. Observation is ongoing.
Corrosion damage on the initial recovery cell. Containment procedures have since been revised.
Description: SCP-106 appears to be an elderly humanoid, with a general appearance of advanced decomposition. This appearance may vary, but the “rotting” quality is observed in all forms. SCP-106 is not exceptionally agile, and will remain motionless for days at a time, waiting for prey. SCP-106 is also capable of scaling any vertical surface and can remain suspended upside down indefinitely. When attacking, SCP-106 will attempt to incapacitate prey by damaging major organs, muscle groups, or tendons, then pull disabled prey into its pocket dimension. SCP-106 appears to prefer human prey items in the 10-25 years of age bracket.
SCP-106 causes a “corrosion” effect in all solid matter it touches, engaging a physical breakdown in materials several seconds after contact. This is observed as rusting, rotting, and cracking of materials, and the creation of a black, mucus-like substance similar to the material coating SCP-106. This effect is particularly detrimental to living tissues, and is assumed to be a “pre-digestion” action. Corrosion continues for six hours after contact, after which the effect appears to “burn out”.
SCP-106 is capable of passing through solid matter, leaving behind a large patch of its corrosive mucus. SCP-106 is able to “vanish” inside solid matter, entering what is assumed to be a form of “pocket dimension”. SCP-106 is then able to exit this dimension from any point connected to the initial entry point (examples: “entering” the inner wall of a room, and “exiting” the outer wall. Entering a wall, and exiting from the ceiling). It is unknown if this is the point of origin for SCP-106, or a simple “lair” created by SCP-106.
Limited observation of this “pocket dimension” has show it to be comprised mostly of halls and rooms, with [DATA EXPUNGED] entry. This activity can continue for “days”, with some subjected being released for the express purpose of hunting, recapture, [DATA EXPUNGED].
She then takes a keycard. It said:
Level 2
Any distribution to lower levels will be dealt accordingly.
She leaves the room, not reading the notification. Only to get to a lockroom of some sort. She sees a camera and the camera turns on, showing the inside of the room and the sculpture that just escaped. Smoke spews out of the pipes, so she wore a gas mask and presses a button. And sprints to the other end, while staring at the sculpture. An alarm sounds, and the doors finally close as Twilight gets out, tripping. She took off the mask and opens a door, she heard scraping stone. She learned in the SCP-173 document that scraping stone indicates SCP-173. She looked at the camera, SCP-173 was gone. She was puzzled and continued down. She reaches a three tunnel way. She checked on the left tunnel, she sees a blast door with the sign:
SCP-914
Object Class: Safe
She enters the room and the button needed a Level 2 keycard. She takes out her Level 2 card and inserts it in the slot. The door opens as Twilight puts the card back in her pocket. She saw a large machine.
She saw two signs: INPUT and OUTPUT. She approaches closer, seeing a panel with the options: ROUGH, COARSE, 1:1, FINE and VERY FINE. And she sets down her navigator on the INPUT and turns the button to VERY FINE. She turns a key and the door on INPUT and OUTPUT are closed. After a few seconds. Twilight heads into the output, seeing the same navigator, but this time it showed a map and never used batteries. She leaves the room. Twilight headed for the right tunnel, leading to a featureless hallway. She opens the door on the other end and enters a grated hallway. Once she was 1/4 on the hallway. A cracking noise, followed by the creation of black substance is heard, as a old man passes through the wall, the man stops halfway and spotted Twilight. But, the man passes through another wall. Twilight was now scared, really scared. She sprints to the other end, opening the door and closing it. She was in another office, but it is a bigger one, she picked up a radio and goes down to the office, sitting down on a chair and rest.
