Hello internet and welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube life's biggest questions the place where our security clearance is most definitely
Aboveboard none of a credentials are forged and we definitely don't poke our noses where they shouldn't belong what's going on guys as always
I'll be your disembodied floating voice Jack Finch as we dive back into the depths of the SCP foundation
figure out just when the hell we're going to give up this ruse as we peel back the soundproof padding take one step forward and
ask the question what if
Scp-087 was real roll the clip
It wasn't there
I wish she'd go away in
1899 inspired by the reports of a strange eerie ghost that would constantly run the stairs of a haunted house in Antigonish
Nova Scotia a poet named William Hughes mearns famously penned his poem the little man who wasn't there it inspires in a strange
Ethereal sense of equal parts familiarity and the uncanny but like with most things the world of the SCP foundation
Takes that feeling one step further enter SCP 0 87 an old boy
You better just keep walking before we slide on down into that though

Have you ever been walking down a staircase?
perhaps late at night when you get that strange eerie feeling that something or someone is following you not in the sense that
Footsteps are in pursuit or echoing voices, but that feeling that you're being watched in such a tight space
Well, let me introduce you to scp-087
And those fears will soon be mutated into a much more
desperate beast 0 87 is a euclid class amorphous object located on the campus of an
undisclosed United States university that appears to be an infinite staircase the doorway leading up to scp-087
is constructed out of
Reinforced steel with an electric release lock the mechanism on the doorknob will not release unless it's given a redacted amount of voltage
That's a measurement in conjunction with a counterclockwise rotation of the key
It's been disguised to resemble a janitorial closet consistent with the design of the building sounds harmless enough while it's pretty important to note that
Absolutely. No personnel are permitted access to scp-087
On account of the horrors that lie within and that's not despite trying believe me in layman's terms
SCP 0 87 is an unlit platform staircase and despite the large amorphous
Ghostly face and the incessant small child crying in the darkness as about as unassuming as it comes
Alright, we forgot to mention that right, right
Each staircase is roughly 13 steps descending at a 38 degree angle before reaching a semicircular platform
approximately three meters in diameter and that's it on and on creeping forever downward toward who knows where the design of
Scp-087 limits subjects to a visual range of approximately one point five flights of stairs
and there are no
Lighting fixtures or windows present lighting sources brighter than 75 Watts have shown to be ineffective as the staircase itself seems to absorb
Excess light itself of the four expeditions that the foundation have operated on scp-087 each of them have reported and confirmed the distressed
Vocalizations of what is presumed to be a child of an indeterminate age
Expeditions and video feeds have also confirmed the existence of an SCP 0 87
1 an amorphous entity which appears as a face with no visible pupils nostrils or mouth and that's about all we know of it
Which is terrifying, right?
It poses an incredibly interesting question
Which I think rests on the function of Class D personnel and their role in the Foundation's
Experimentation in zero 87's Canon for Class D prisoners have been sent into the staircase one of which survived one of which became
Comatose and two of which are now deemed m.i.a for intents and purposes
You could likely say that SCP 0 87 is a sinkhole for human resources
Pardon the pun think about it
Even an unexplored cavern has an ending right scramblers and cave divers alike willingly plunge into the unknown
Risking their life because there's a thrill in exploring the unexplored. But what about the unexplored?
It's human nature to want to conquer curiosity how it's the sole function of the foundation itself
If you really break it all down. But how far would that curiosity go? What would be the ultimate price? We'd pay for an answer?
Essentially how many Class D personnel would it take to get the answer?
Yeah, I hear what you're saying
If an infinite cosmic staircase was real and we knew that there was a creepy floating head somewhere down there
We'll probably send a drone or a bomb disposal robot down there before we start sending down meat sacks, but come on
That's not the foundation style
we all know that why build a robot when you can use a Class D which demonstrates much more movability and you
Sentience also I guess they serve a function in themselves
But this is really where we get to the crux of our answer just like the poem by William Hughes Mearns last night
I saw upon the stair a little man goober you want to do oh how I wish you'd go away
well, that's exactly how we deal with things because that's how the foundation deals with this particular enigma ignorance is bliss if
Scp-087 was real we'd seal the door and leave it shut because some things are just better left unsolved, right?
Well, let us know what you think in the comment box down below. Cheers. We're sticking around all the way to the end
