Goodday everyone and welcome back to part 2 of this slow decent into madness.
This is What Happened to Site-13?
Big props to the patreons for supporting this channel, a thank you to the council and administrators,
a quick word from today’s sponsor and we will return to the hell that is this SCP.
Addendum 1730.3: Exploration Log 6 Date: ██/██/████
Exploration Team: Mobile Access Drone Notes: While waiting for additional resources
to arrive at SCP-1730, an unmanned ground-based drone was launched into the main site complex,
through the same door that the D12 team had entered.
The planned goal of the mission was to investigate lower floors and attempt to recover information
relating to the origins of SCP-1730.
[BEGIN LOG] The drone approaches the main office building
and enters through the front door.
A moment is spent observing the writing on the walls in the interior lobby before moving
across to the service elevator.
The drone enters the elevator and turns to the floor selection.
There are selections for five floors above the ground level, and fifteen below.
The drone moves to select the B15 level.
The elevator begins to descend.
After seven floors, the elevator suddenly stops.
After a few moments of time, it is determined this is due to an intermittent power failure.
The drone uses a suitable utility to open the forward-facing elevator door.
The open elevator shaft is visible, and the drone is unable to determine the depth of
the shaft.
Using its winch, the drone descends below the stopped elevator to the first available
floor.
After prying open the door, the drone swings into the opening and retracts the winch.
A sign on the wall just inside the doorway indicates that this is the 8th basement level,
and that it is a Euclid-class containment wing.
The lights on this floor remain dark.
The drone is instructed to move down the main hallway and look for a suitable area to descend
to the next floor.
The drone moves towards a side hallway and is instructed to explore down it.
It is noted that a number of messages are written on the walls, including "don't look
at the walls" and "kill the quiet ones".
After inspecting a number of rooms and finding them to only be empty offices, the drone returns
to the main hallway.
The drone ceases movement upon seeing a large, vaguely humanoid entity standing near the
end of the hallway.
This entity appears to glide slowly down the hallways, seemingly not noticing the drone.
After it passes, the drone is instructed to follow the entity.
The entity enters a maintenance closet near the end of the initial hallway.
The drone observes as the entity extends a long arm from beneath its outer layer and
touches the floor.
Upon further observation, the entity is noted to have picked up some of the thick, dark
material previously identified as blood and power station runoff with what is identified
as its primary "finger" appendage.
The entity then begins to make slow movements towards the wall behind it.
This is obscured from the drone's view.
The entity ceases movement, and then slowly turns to leave the room.
The drone is instructed to move towards the wall and take note of any changes.
It is noted that the entity left behind a number of unique symbols, such as [COGNITOHAZARD
EXPUNGED].
The drone takes several flash photographs of these symbols and transmits them back to
site command.
The drone is then instructed to continue to follow the large entity; however, the entity
has disappeared from the hallway.
It is noted that the entity left no apparent footprints, even in the thick material covering
parts of the floors.
The drone is instructed to continue on regardless.
The drone reaches what appears to be a series of several containment cells.
The first cell is open.
A placard on the side of the doorway reads "Entity 324, Scheduled for Termination 12/13/1975".
The drone enters the doorway and observes a spacious containment cell.
Thick rubber padding is all along the walls.
The drone notices a human form in the corner of the room, covered in the thick, dark sludge.
As the drone approaches the form, small sparks fire from its fingertips towards the drone.
The drone takes several photographs, then leaves.
The next three cells are all empty with no placards.
The fourth cell is closed, and its placard is smashed.
The drone is instructed to attempt to open the door with its cutting torch.
After a few moments, it is able to do so.
The drone enters the room.
In the corner of the room is the emaciated body of a human female, roughly aged at 34
years.
The body shows no signs of life.
A chain is seen around the neck, descending into the shirt.
Notable is the lack of sludge within this cell, possible as a result of the inhabitant
closing the door and locking it from the interior.
The drone searches the corpse for an identification badge, and finds one.
The name reads "Jack Bright".
The drone is then instructed to search the neck chain, but the chain is discovered to
be broken.
The drone then leaves the room.
The drone traverses a short way until it finds a stairwell.
The drone descends to the next floor.
A sign by the doorway reads "5th Floor".
The drone turns to view the stairwell it had previously descended from, but finds it non-existent.
After some short discussion at site command, the drone is instructed to enter the doorway.
The drone enters into a large, spacious office floor, lit by sunlight.
Several terminals are nearby, though all of them appear damaged or otherwise unusable.
The drone approaches the least damaged terminal and attempts to power it on.
The terminal does not power on, though whether this is due to a power outage or damage to
the machine is unknown.
The drone manoeuvres across the room.
The drone reaches a terminal labelled "M. Hadley" which appears mostly undamaged and
attempts to power it on.
The terminal powers on, and the drone then attempts to connect with the computer.
The computer is running the same Foundation base system as the current model, albeit a
number of generations older.
The drone is instructed to transmit every file it is capable of accessing to site command.
The drone begins to do this.
Note: At this point in the operation, site command lost contact with the drone.
Several members of the operation team suddenly showed symptoms of some kind of anomalous
influence, growing silent and beginning to burn from their ears.
After the onset of symptoms, any sound would trigger what appeared to be a silent explosion
that shook site command and destroyed most of its communicative equipment.
It was later discovered that the only individuals influenced by this were those who had viewed
the symbols created by the large entity in the basement storage closet.
Further examination by Foundation cognitohazard specialists and screening technology ascertained
that the symbols themselves were a sort of pyroclastic cognitohazard.
Any individual becoming aware of the symbols would inevitably succumb to the effects of
the hazard, making any additional exploration of the site hazardous.
The drone was left unattended for several days thereafter, though it did complete its
task of transmitting the terminal contents.
Attempts to reconnect with the drone were unsuccessful, and drone surveillance of the
site from outside of the building showed that all of the floors above ground level in the
primary structure were entirely empty.
The drone was not located.
And that concludes part 2 of SCP-1730, I know it was a bit shorter but that is just so I
can continue to make videos in a timely manner.
Part 3 will cover the Mole Rats.
I hope you enjoyed this video and be sure to like and subscribe if you did.
