Conversation recorded on ██/██/████ at ██:██ by ████████ naval personnel, aboard the ███ ███████. Storm's current location at approximately ██.██████ N, ██.██████W, approximately ██ km northwest the ship

[an unidentified sound is transmitted from SCP-XXXX]
Officer R██████: What the hell was that?
Officer L███████: It sounded like crying. Like a little kid.
R: But it was coming in over the radio.
L: Are we picking up somebody's cell phone or something?
R: I don't know.

The officers proceeded to report a possible malfunction in the equipment. After establishing no such malfunction, the Foundation was notified of the occurrence.

Two days later (██/██/████), after Agent ██████████ and Dr. ███████████ arrived on the ███ ███████. After █ hours, radio contact with SCP-XXXX had been established.

Officer R: Hello? Is somebody there? Please respond. Over.
SCP-XXXX: [the voice of a young girl] Hola.
R: Spanish? [clears throat] Hola. Por favor, identifíquese, cambio. [Hello. Please identify yourself. Over.]
SCP-XXXX: I'm [REDACTED]. Are you gonna play with me?
[Agent ██████████ covers the microphone]
Agent ██████████: It's a girl. Why did she switch languages?
R: I don't know. Her Spanish had an American accent anyway.
[Agent ██████████ uncovers the microphone]
R: How old are you?
SCP-XXXX: I don't know. Will you play with me?
R: We may be able to, but where are you?
SCP-XXXX: I'm flying.
R: Flying?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah. I'm flying over the water.
R: Are you on an airplane?
SCP-XXXX: I don't think so. What's tha- [static]
[contact lost]

Due to SCP-XXXX's initially speaking in Spanish, despite the voice's accent indicating this not being its first language, it is theorized that a Spanish-speaking person or persons had previously established contact with the object. There are no reports of such an incident and investigation into the possibility has turned up nothing.

After ██ hours, contact was reestablished with SCP-XXXX. It should be noted that SCP-XXXX spoke in a voice resembling that of an older child than the previous recording.

SCP-XXXX: Hello? Are you listening?
R: Hello. Is this [REDACTED]?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah. I was trying to talk to you for a long time.
R: I apologize. We must have lost contact.
SCP-XXXX: That's OK. I still want to play.
R: We still don't know exactly where you are. Can you tell us?
SCP-XXXX: I'm flying over the water. I see things floating sometimes.
R: What kinds of things?
SCP-XXXX: Little white things. There are little darker things moving around on them. Say, can you fly like me?
R: No, not without an airplane.
SCP-XXXX: Oh. What do you look like?
R: I'd like to ask you the same question.
SCP-XXXX: Well, I'm big. I'm a big girl. Every time I look at my reflection on the ocean, I see myself.
R: What do you see?
SCP-XXXX: A lot of white. It's hard to see, though. I have to look everywhe- [static]
[contact lost]

It is theorized that the "little white things" with "little darker things" are referring to boats with people on them.

By this time, the source of SCP-XXXX's transmissions had been traced to the storm.

No further contact was made until ██ hours later, on ██/██/████ at ██:██.

SCP-XXXX: Hello? [SCP-XXXX is communicating in a voice similar to that of a girl between the ages of █ and ██]
R: Yes, hello. Is this [REDACTED]?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah. Hi.
R: Hello. Have you been attempting to contact us?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah. You couldn't hear me though. I'm a bit worried.
R: Worried? About what?
SCP-XXXX: Where are you?
R: Unless we know you're friendly, I don't think we should tell you that.
SCP-XXXX: Oh. Well, I was worried about these flecks of land under me. A lot of stuff is breaking. Why is that?
R: Do you know what you are?
SCP-XXXX: I guess. You're not the same as me, are you?
R: I'm afraid not.
[Agent ██████████ covers the microphone once again]
Agent ██████████: It's probably best not to tell her everything we've figured out.
R: I figured that. I'm trying to see how much she knows.
[Agent ██████████ nods and uncovers the microphone]
SCP-XXXX: I'm a little scared.
R: Scared?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah. Every time I fly over something, a lot of stuff gets broken. Why is that?
R: High winds. Storm surge.
SCP-XXXX: But I don't want to do that. I like these people. This stuff was pretty before I showed up.
R: That's not something you can control, is it?
[SCP-XXXX does not reply, contact assumed lost]

It should be noted that other audio equipment present did not receive SCP-XXXX's audio, but did record the officer's side of the conversation. The reason for this is unknown.

The next transmission with SCP-XXXX was following the storm's passing over several heavily populated Caribbean islands (exact date, ██/██/████). At this time, the female voice sounded similar to that of an adult.

SCP-XXXX: Hello?
R: Hello, [REDACTED]. How are you today?
SCP-XXXX: I'm… [SCP-1619 goes silent for fifteen seconds] I'm sorry.
R: Sorry? For what?
SCP-XXXX: I did something really bad.
R: What did you do?
SCP-XXXX: I passed over a lot of islands. I destroyed so many things. I think a lot of people died.
R: We can confirm that there we- Um… No, I don't think you killed anybody.
SCP-XXXX: Don't lie to me. I see somebody in the ocean right now. They were at the beach and got swept out to sea. He's not moving.
R: Uh…
SCP-XXXX: Please don't lie to me. I know that people have died because of me.
[several seconds of silence go by, at one point, Agent ██████████ taps Officer R██████ on the shoulder, in offer to take over the conversation, Agent R██████ declines]
R: I'm sorry. But you couldn't have stopped yourself, could you?
SCP-XXXX: No. I was wrong about what I thought before. I can't control where I fly. I fly where the wind takes me and everything beneath me gets destroyed. I'm scared.
R: There's no reason for you to be afraid.
[SCP-XXXX does not respond, contact lost]

Contact reestablished with SCP-XXXX the following day. Storm was located off the coast of █████ █████████.

SCP-XXXX: Excuse me.
R: Roger.
SCP-XXXX: Do you know where I'm going?
R: The forecast says you will be making landfall tomorrow.
SCP-XXXX: Landfall? I don't want to pass over land again! More people will die!
R: [REDACTED], please calm down.
SCP-XXXX: Why should I calm down!? More people live on the land, right? So many more people will be hurt! You have to stop me!
R: I'm afraid there is no way we can stop you from reaching land.
[SCP-XXXX does not respond, contact lost]

Contact reestablished with SCP-XXXX. Object's voice now resembles that of a middle-aged woman.

SCP-XXXX: I can see land now.
R: I assure you, [REDACTED], there is no reason to feel guilty. The damage you cause is not your fault.
SCP-XXXX: I know. How many people live where I'll be going?
R: A lot. But this area is better developed. I assure you that things will work out.
SCP-XXXX: You're wrong. I've seen what I can [static]
[contact lost]

The track of SCP-XXXX passed directly over the areas of ███ ██████ and ███ ████, two of the most inhabited areas in the United States.

Hours after SCP-XXXX made landfall, the object once again made contact with Foundation-assisted naval personnel.

SCP-XXXX: There's so much breaking. Everything is breaking down there. So much water where water isn't supposed to be.
R: [REDACTED], don't worr-
SCP-XXXX: [interrupting] There was a lot of light where I passed over. The lights went out. It's so dark down there now. I can see trees falling everywhere. There are houses breaking open. I'm sorry.
R: [REDACTED], there's no need to fe-
SCP-XXXX: I'm so sorry. Please help them.
[SCP-XXXX's voice is heard making sounds similar to crying, audio goes silent for several minutes, contact assumed momentarily lost before reestablishing]
SCP-XXXX: Please forgive me.
[contact lost]

Hours after previous contact, SCP-XXXX establishes contact again. Audio quality significantly lower than previous transmissions, currently assumed to be due to increased distance between the receiving equipment and the object, as well as the object's dissipation having already begun.

The voice of SCP-XXXX now resembles that of an elderly woman.

SCP-XXXX: Can [static] forgive [static] for what I've done?
R: Yes. I've been trying to tell you that it wasn't your fault.
SCP-XXXX: I don't [static] why, but I ca- [static] -ell that we won't [static] able to talk anymore soon.
R: I understand. The forecast says you'll be dissipating soon.
SCP-XXXX: I will be. I can tell. My vis- [static] getting blurry. Am I the f- [static] like me to speak t- [static]
R: I'm sorry? Repeat.
SCP-XXXX: Have a- [static] of my k- [static] with you?
R: Could not read you. Please repeat.
[SCP-XXXX's transmission is nothing but static for three minutes before restoring]
SCP-XXXX: I'm sorry for what I've done. [static] talking to you. It was nice talking to you.
[SCP-XXXX's audio returns to static and remains as such for ninety minutes before cutting off]
[contact with SCP-XXXX could not be reestablished]

On ██/██/19██ at 0730EST, the manned crew of the Tanngrisnir was successfully contacted by Foundation command. They were ordered to approach the structure now labeled SCP-2000-1.

In total, 5 D-Class personnel (D-19974, D-19613, D-20108, D-19852, D-20157) were sent on the mission, along with a Foundation-built mechanical drone known as Pluto-7. Pluto-7 would be remotely operated by Foundation command, but was also capable of being controlled manually by its crew. The drone was capable of housing as many as six humans, as well as research equipment and a much smaller drone known as Charon-9. It was estimated that with the equipment provided, SCP-2000 would be too far away from the sun to support the crew's life after two months; the D-Class were sent with enough supplies to allow them to survive for approximately this long.

Command: Pluto-7, confirm position.
D-19852: Here. The drone's moving a little slow. Are you sure this thing is working right?
Command: The terrain here is a little bit rougher than the drone was built for. It'll be fine, but we need to slow it down to make sure it isn't damaged.
D-19852: Sure makes for a boring ride. Lots of rocks.
Command: You're approaching the object now. You should be able to see the base.
D-20108: Yeah, it's there. It's really big.
D-19974: Holy shit. I didn't think it was possible for something that big to exist. Think it's natural or did somebody build it?
Command: That's one of the things that you're there to find out.
[Pluto-7's radiation sensors begin detecting an unknown radiation]
[Command brakes Pluto-7]
Command: Hold on a second. [seven seconds of silence] Looks like you'll be heading back.
D-20157: You mean we came out here for nothing?
Command: It looks like it. There's some dangerous readings coming off of the object. Go any further and you'll be dead in minutes. The radiation it's giving off would also fry anything electrical, so sending the drone by itself isn't an option either.
D-19613: So what do we do now?
Command: Ascertain as much information as you can from your position.
[23 seconds of silence]
D-20108: Why is the light shining through it purple?
Command: Observation confirmed by the video feed. Please proceed.
[a loud buzzing sound is audible through all audio feeds]
D-19974: Wait, what is that?
D-19852: What?
Command: 19974, report.
D-19974: There's some kind of black smudge on the window. It looks kind of like mold.
Command: Collect a sample of the substance.
[the buzzing sound stops]
[D-19613 exits Pluto-7 to collect the unidentified substance]
D-19613: It's not here.
Command: The substance is gone?
D-19613: Yeah. It was here just a second ago.
Command: Nobody saw what happened to it?
D-20157: We weren't exactly expecting a shit stain on the window to disappear into thin air.
[D-19613 re-enters Pluto-7]
Command: Well, we don't know what it was, so keep your eyes peeled for anything like it.
[34 minutes of radio silence]
[Pluto-7's audio equipment picks up an unknown sound]
Command: Pluto-7, come in.
D-20157: Here.
Command: We're picking up some noise from the drone's microphone. Can any of you confirm?
[no response for 8 seconds, unknown sound continues]
D-19974: Yeah. I can just barely hear something coming from outside.
D-20108: It sounds like a wind chime.
Command: Are you able to determine the source of the sound?
D-19852: I don't think so. It doesn't really sound like it's coming from any one place.
D-20157: Is it getting louder?
[the sound becomes noticeably louder, after ten seconds, Pluto-7's audio equipment stops working]
Command: Pluto-7, do you see anything outside the craft?
D-19613: Nothing unusual.
[after approximately ten minutes, Pluto-7's on-board microphone becomes responsive again]
D-19974: It stopped.
Command: Pluto-7, anything to report?
D-20157: Nothing to report.
Command: Understood. Ending communications.

End Log.

On ██/██/19██ at 0945EST, the crew of Pluto-7 was ordered to investigate SCP-2000-2.

Command: Pluto-7, come in.
D-19613: We read you.
Command: This is a good spot. [Pluto-7's brakes are engaged]
D-19613: It doesn't look like there's that much keeping that thing upright. It looks like one little tap could bring the whole thing down.
D-20157: It is huge, though. It's a lot bigger than the last one.
Command: By our calculations, it's 11.3 kilometers tall.
D-19974: How close can we get to it?
Command: You don't need to get close to it. Open the hatch on the side of Pluto-7.
[D-19613 opens the hatch to allow Charon-9 to be used for exploration]
[Command begins controlling Charon-9]
D-19974: This thing is a drone? It looks like that robot from that movie.
[Command directs Charon-9 toward the object]
Approximately nine minutes after Charon-9 was directed toward SCP-2000-2, the drone begins to malfunction. The drone begins moving at half its normal speed, a sound resembling laughing children is audible from an unidentified source³ for the next three minutes. After six minutes, the drone's left wheel is restored to full speed, causing the drone to spin in place until Command engages the brakes.
D-20108: Are you guys drunk down there?
Command: Charon-9 is experiencing some malfunctions.
D-20108: Probably should've put it together better.
Command: It's unlikely this is an internal issue.
D-20108: Well, I don't see what could be-
[Command silences D-20108's communications]
Command successfully regains control of Charon-9. The drone is directed toward the object once again. For exactly .8 seconds, the drone's camera detects a solid, black, humanoid figure, standing at a distance of approximately 4 m from the drone. No other cameras present detect this object. At this time, Command engages the brakes once again. The drone's camera is panned to observe its surroundings. No anomalous visuals are detected. The drone is once again directed toward the object. The drone's video feed shows that the cracks on the object's surface are moving. It was initially assumed that the object was collapsing, however the motion of the cracks confirms that they are not cracks at all, but strands of black matter. At this point, the drone's audio equipment ceases functioning.
D-20157: What the hell are you guys doing down there?
Command: Is there a problem, 20157?
D-201507: Yeah, you're driving that little robot thing in circles.
All cameras equipped to the present D-Class, as well as the main camera for Pluto-7 display Charon-9 as repeatedly driving in a wide circle. The camera equipped to Charon-9 still indicates that the drone is moving in a straight line toward the object. The brakes on Charon-9 are engaged at this time. Charon-9's camera displays the drone stopping immediately, where all other cameras display the drone stopping after a delay of four seconds of continued movement.
At this time, Charon-9 was directed to drive away from SCP-2000-2. While it is driving away from the object, no malfunctions are observed. The drone is driven toward the object once again; malfunctions are once again observed.
Pluto-7's on-board camera displays the image of an extremely tall, solid black, humanoid figure standing next to SCP-2000-2. The figure is estimated to stand at approximately 14km in height. The entity was observed placing its hand on the object's top and leaning on it. After ten seconds, the entity ducks behind the object and is no longer visible. No other cameras present detected the entity and no further evidence of such an entity was ever observed.
D-19852 is ordered to retrieve Charon-9. While D-19852 is within the range of SCP-2000-2's anomalous effects, his audio and visual equipment begin to malfunction. A sound resembling a rabbit screaming is audible from an undetermined direction.
D-19852 retrieves Charon-9 without further incident. Charon-9's audio equipment begins working again.

Mission considered a failure due to mechanical malfunctions preventing in-depth exploration. While manned exploration is possible, it was considered an undesirable option due to the structural instability of SCP-2000-2 and the extreme likelihood of equipment failure making observation unreliable.

On ██/██/19██ at 0800EST, the crew of Pluto-7 was sent to investigate the landmark labeled SCP-2000-3.

Command: Pluto-7, come in.
D-20108: Reading you.
Command: Pluto-7, you should be within a kilometer of the object now.
D-20108: Are we going the rest of the way on foot?
Command: Actually, no. Our thermal cameras are showing some pretty bizarre readings. We need you to use the handheld one and verify what we're seeing here.
D-19974: Loud and clear.
[all five D-Class exit the drone]
[Pluto-7's video feed shows D-20108 viewing the object through a thermal imaging device]
D-20108: Holy shit, are you seeing that?
[Foundation command receives the images from the thermal device]
Command: Confirmed.
D-20157: How could it be that hot without burning up everything around it?
D-19974: And it's like a clean line where it drops from super, super-hot to normal temperature. I'm pretty sure heat doesn't work like that. And is it like a triangle reaching to the top of it? It looks like a pyramid.
Command: Can you approach the temperature differential?
D-20157: Wouldn't that kill us?
Command: You aren't being asked to step into the heated area. Move as close to it as you can. Determine if it is as sheer a drop-off as it appears.
[D-20108 begins approaching the temperature differential]
[D-20108 is measured to have gone as near as one meter from the heated area]
[D-20108 extends his hand toward the temperature differential]
D-20108: It doesn't feel any different. I'm not actually in it, am I?
Command: Negative.
D-20108: Good. I'm getting the hell away from this thing.
Command: Can you move any closer to it? You still seem to be about a meter away.
D-20108: I'm not risking getting burned up like that.
Command: We're simply asking you to reach as far as you safely can.
D-20108: Fine, but you better tell me when I'm too close.
D-20108 reaches toward the temperature differential. It is determined that D-20108's fingertips entered the heated area, as the ends of his suit's fingers are burned away, allowing air to escape from his suit.
D-20108: [gasping] Dammit! Holy shit!
It is determined that at this point, D-20108 attempts to hold the hole closed with his hands. Due to the extreme heat still being generated by the burn in his suit, D-20108 burns his fingers into his palm. An unidentified, black substance is seen moving out of D-20108's wound. The substance is not a liquid and appears similar to muscle tissue. All audio equipment, save for the communication devices equipped to the D-Class, cease functioning.
D-20108: [screaming] Holy shit! Help me!
[the other four D-Class begin to attempt to aid D-20108 in some way]
Command: Stop! Leave him! There's nothing that can be done!
D-20108: What the fuck do you mean?
Command: There is no way to treat a wound like that under your current circumstances. There is also no way to repair the damage done to your suit at the moment. Aside from that, we don't even know what that black substance is!
D-20108: So I'm just gonna fucking die?
Command: I apologize, but yes.
D-20108: You fucking ordered me to stick my hand in there! I just wanted to get back to the ship!
Command: We apologize. It was our mistake.
[D-20108's communications are manually silenced]
[Foundation command enters discussion for five minutes]
Command: Remove 20108's helmet.
D-19974: Wouldn't that kill him?
Command: It would. We consider it a more humane option than letting the air escape slowly.
[five seconds of silence]
D-19974: Alright.
D-19613 and 20157 hold D-20108 down while D-19974 and 19852 remove his helmet. D-20108's vital signs indicate he is suffocating.
D-19852: Do we leave?
Command: You may. Collect 20108's equipment first.
[D-19613 collects all equipment carried by D-20108]
Command: 19613, collect a sample of the black matter that exited 20108's wound.
D-19613: It's not here.
Command: It isn't there?
D-19613: Yeah. [D-19613 pans his camera up toward SCP-2000-3] I think that might be it there, in the super-heated area.
Command: There's no way to collect it in there. That will be all, D-19613.
[D-19613 and the other three remaining D-Class enter Pluto-7 and are directed away from D-20108 and SCP-2000-3, radio silence is engaged from this point on]
[at one point, after approximately twenty minutes of traveling, the video feed from Pluto-7 cuts off]
Command: Uh, Pluto-7, our video feed is dead. Can you confirm your location?
D-20157: We're right where we were. Do you want us to drive it?
Command: That will be fine. Keep driving in your current direction until we reestablish the video feed.
[for two seconds, the video feed displays an unknown image. The image depicts a rabbit sitting in a cage on a table in a darkened room. The source of this image is still undetermined]
[after ten more seconds, the video feed is restored]
Command: Pluto-7, come in.
D-20157: Here.
Command: We've reestablished our video feed. We'll be taking control of the craft again.
D-20157: You didn't already? This thing has been driving itself for the last ten minutes.
Command: What?
[Foundation command begins working Pluto-7's remote controls, the craft begins moving as normal]
Command: Was that some kind of joke?
D-19613: No. Doug let go of the controls and it kept moving like normal, so we assumed you took control back without telling us.
Command: We would tell you that sort of thing. Now as a precaution, place rocks under the craft's wheels to make sure it doesn't move on its own when you sleep.
D-19974: Understood.
Command: You should be in a good spot now. Get some rest. Ending communications until tomorrow.

End Log

D-20108's vital signs indicated that he was suffocating, however his vital signs never completely stopped, long after what is possible. D-20108's vital signs suddenly ceased 32 hours after his helmet was removed. The cause of D-20108's death is unknown, however for 0.2 seconds before his vital signs ceased, his body temperature was recorded to have spiked to temperatures comparable to the heat emitted by SCP-2000-3. The remaining four D-Class were not made aware of this information.

On ██/██/19██ at 1230EST, the crew of Pluto-7 were instructed to investigate the crater labeled SCP-2000-4.

[after three days of travel, Pluto-7 and its crew have reached the outer ridge of SCP-2000-4]
D-20157: It's a pretty big hole in the ground.
D-19974: That it is. I didn't know craters to have giant triangles in them.
D-19852: Are we going into it?
Command: You will be. The drone won't be able to follow you. The climb down is too steep, so start getting the climbing gear set up.
[the D-Class spend the next five minutes setting up the equipment necessary to descend into the crater]
D-20157: Alright then, so who goes first?
D-19613: Not me.
D-20157: Come on. Any volunteers?
Command: 20157, please climb down the rope.
D-20157: Alright, fine. I guess I'll have to be "the man" in this situation.

D-20157 begins descending into the crater via a rope and harness. D-19974 approaches the rope to begin descending next when a sudden tremor occurs. D-19974 falls to the ground. The metal stake keeping the rope in place is jarred loose by the tremor, allowing D-20157 to fall into the crater. D-20157 is estimated to have fallen 127 m. Despite such a fall, D-20157 is both alive and conscious. D-20157's audio and visual equipment ceases function upon impact, however.

Command: 20157! Come in!
[D-20157 does not respond to any commands]
D-19852: Where's Doug? I can't see him down there.
[D-19852's camera does not show D-20157 inside the crater]
[six minutes pass before D-20157 contacts Foundation command, D-20157's audio and video equipment begin transmitting once again approximately three seconds after contact is made]
[by the account of D-20157's camera, he is running on the floor of the crater]
D-20157: [noticeably out of breath] You're not real! Get out of my head!
Command: 20157, what is wrong?
D-20157: I've waited too fucking long! Too many fucking years! You can't be back! You're dead! You're all dead!
Command: You've waited years for what? We only lost contact with you approximately six minutes ago.
D-20157: You're full of fucking shit! I've been running! And counting! I never stopped! I never stopped running or counting and I'm just gonna keep going!
Command: 20157, please calm down. Now what you're saying doesn't make any sense. You couldn't have been in that crater for years.
D-20157: [audibly sobbing] Let me get back to Earth! Send a shuttle up or something!
[at this point, all cameras belonging to the D-Class and Pluto-7 lose their signal for twelve seconds; upon reestablishing the feed, D-20157 is visible, standing still in the center of the crater]
D-19974: Is that him there? I think I can see him.
Command: Pluto-7, come in. Do not enter the crater. That is an order.
D-19613: We're leaving Doug too?
Command: That has yet to be determined. Stand by until further notice.
D-20157: I've been running the entire time. I've been running for years on end. I'm not hungry. I'm not thirsty. I'm not tired. I'm just running.
Command: 20157, you are hallucinating. You have not been running nonstop for that long. We lost contact with you for six minutes.

At this point, D-20157's camera shows him apparently losing his footing and falling forward. D-20157 rolls onto his back, the camera is now facing the sky. Approximately 45 seconds later, all other cameras depict D-20157, visible in the center of the crater, as lowering himself to a seated position. D-20157 sits motionless in a cross-legged position for the remainder of all footage taken of the incident on these cameras.

D-20157: I'm so tired. I'm so fucking tired. I just need some sleep. Please let me sleep. Please stop. Please stop doing that. Everything is black. Please leave me alone.
Command: 20157, who are you talking to?

D-20157 stops responding to any commands. D-20157 continues talking to himself for eight more minutes before becoming silent, then enters a coughing fit six minutes later. After eleven seconds, an unidentified black liquid is placed on the lens of D-20157's camera, obstructing 99.8% of its view. All audio equipment attached to D-20157 ceases functioning at this point. This obstruction remains present for the rest of D-20157's footage.

D-19613: What do we do now?
Command: Leave D-20157 behind. That is an order.
D-19613: But he's still alive!
Command: That is an order!
D-19974: Why are we leaving him behind, though?
Command: The crater is determined to house a dangerous spacial anomaly. Now enter the drone and leave. That is a direct order.
[D-19974, -19613, and -19852 enter Pluto-7 and are directed away from SCP-2000-4]

End Log.

Foundation command continues monitoring D-20157's vital signs. Despite receiving no sustenance, as far as the Foundation is able to determine, D-20157 remains alive on the floor of SCP-2000-4. The equipment monitoring D-20157's vital signs stopped transmitting this information only due to SCP-2000 moving too far away from Earth for the signal transmitting this information to be received. Until this occurred, D-20157's condition was similar to the vital signs of a drowning victim.

On ██/██/19██ at 0445EST, the remaining crew of Pluto-7 was sent to investigate the landmark labeled SCP-2000-5.

Command: SCP-2000-5 is visible from our camera. Can you confirm?
D-19974: Confirmed.
Command: Exit the drone. Remember that the cameras and your eyes apparently don't match up up there, so if you see anything unusual, be sure to report it.
[all D-Class exit Pluto-7 and unpack all research equipment]
D-19613: Isn't this the first time we've actually been able to get out here and collect samples and shit?
D-19852: Yeah, but we've been interrupted by crazy shit every other time.
[D-19852 is seen wiping dust off of one of the large crystals in the area]
[ten minutes pass with no unusual activity]
D-19974: Hey, what's this over here?
[D-19974's video feed shows a clearing among the crystals, which contains a low, circular pedestal made of stone]
D-19613: What is it?
D-19974: It looks like the kind of place somebody would use for rituals or something.
[D-19974 places his hand on the pedestal]
[D-19974's video feed receives loud feedback as long as he is touching the stone]
D-19613: Compared to what we've already seen, this place is pretty nice. Kinda calming.
Command: 19974, 19613, split up to quicken your search. Also, 19852, what is your great interest in that one particular crystal?
[D-19852 has been standing motionless and facing the same crystal for ten minutes at this point]
D-19852: I'm trying to make something out. There's a reflection it it. But it isn't my reflection.
Command: Explain what that means.
D-19852: I mean, it is my reflection, but it looks different. In it, I'm not wearing any clothes. I'm all wet and shivering, like I just got pulled out of the water or something.
[D-19852's cameras show that the crystals do no possess any reflective properties at all]
Command: 19852, it may be a hallucination. You should get away from the crystal. Go back to the drone if you have to.
D-19852: Maybe that's a good idea… I feel cold for some reason. Like I'm soaking wet all of a sudden.
[D-19852 leaves the vicinity and enters Pluto-7 and manually turns off his audio and video equipment]

D-19613 is seen exiting SCP-2000-5 and finding a large circle carved into the ground. The circle is estimated to be approximately 20 m in diameter and contains an intricate system of carved, runic designs, and also fourteen vaguely humanoid, 132 cm tall statues, arranged in a larger circle around the carved circle. The statues are nearly featureless and are composed of three simple, thin, flat, spade-like shapes forming the head, torso, and pelvis and four thin, curved rods forming the limbs. They possess no digits, facial features, or other such features. The statues appear to be composed of the surrounding stone and soil. Each statue is identical in terms of physical characteristics, including a small amount of damage to the left side of each statue's head.

[D-19613 steps into the circular pattern]
D-19613: More ritual stuff? Is it like some kind of Indian burial ground?
Command: I doubt that's the exact cause.
D-19613: These statues creep me the hell out. Like they're watching me or something.
Command: Something seems off about your camera view, 19613. 19974, where are you?
D-19974: I'm coming. I was just looking at this one really tiny crystal here. Seemed so out of place. Where's Ryan?
Command: 19613 is directly in front of you.
D-19974: No he isn't.
Command: He's standing in the circle.
D-19974: What circle? There's no circle here.
Command: The circle directly in front of you.
[D-19974 looks around for several minutes, the circle and D-19613 are in plain view of his camera]
D-19974: I don't see anything.
D-19613: Where did those crystals come from? This circle wasn't completely surrounded before.
[D-19613's camera shows the circle completely surrounded in crystals; as stated, this was not the case just seconds before]
Command: 19613, leave the circle.
D-19613: I probably should. This is weirding me out.
[D-19613 exits the circle]
D-19974: There you are. Where have you been?
D-19613: I was in the circle. Where have you been?
D-19974: Over here.
Command: The circle seems to contain a spacial anomaly. 19974, enter the circle.
D-19974: How didn't I notice this circle before…
[D-19974 enters the circle]
D-19974: I don't see anything different.
D-19613: He's gone.
Command: 19974, turn to face 19613.
[D-19974 turns 360 degrees; despite the fact that D-19613 should be in plain view of his camera, he is not visible at any point during this footage]
[from D-19974's camera, the circle is completely surrounded by crystals]
D-19974: Where did those crystals come from?
Command: 19613, enter the circle.
D-19613: What if we both disappear?
Command: We still have 19852 to complete exploration.
D-19613: Well that's reassuring.
[D-19613 enters the circle]
D-19974: The hell do we do now?
Command: Attempt to determine your location.
D-19613: We can't even see past the crystals.
D-19974: The little rocks on the ground seem to change whenever we go in or out of the circle, so I'd say we're really going to a new place when we go in and out. But we can't leave and explore the new place.
Command: At that time, one of you was on the outside of the circle. It's unlikely, but perhaps now that both of you are in the circle, stepping out of it will allow you to explore the new area.
D-19613: That sounds kind of stupid, but whatever, you're the scientists.
[D-19974 and 19613 move toward the edge of the circle before stopping]
D-19974: What the hell is this?
[D-19974 aims his camera toward a square stone, which was not present within the circle previously, the stone possesses a hole, which appears to extend into a tunnel, well beyond the object's actual size]
D-19974: Where the hell did this come from?
D-19613: It looks like there's a hole in it.
Command: It looks big enough for you to crawl into.
D-19974: Into this thing? I'll bet you anything we end up inside out on the other end of whatever the fuck this thing is.
Command: Please investigate the object.
D-19974: Alright. But if this thing turns me into sausage, you owe me one.
D-19974 begins crawling into the hole]
D-19974: Jesus, it's cramped in here.
[D-19613 enters the hole after D-19974]
D-19613: I think we're actually crawling up now. There's no fucking way this is possible.
D-19974: Up? I'm going down.
D-19613: No you're not. I'm going up and you're right in front of me. We're in the same fucking tunnel.
[D-19974 places his hand on a section of floor that is composed of black soil instead of stone, his hand begins to sink into it]
[D-19974's audio equipment becomes nonfunctional]
[D-19974 pulls his hand back]
D-19613: What's wrong?
[D-19974 speaks, due to audio issue, it is unknown what he said]
D-19613: Is it safe to keep going?
Command: We can't tell.
D-19613: We should go back. Quicksand doesn't work like that, but if the ground here does, crawling on it is suicide.
[D-19613 attempts to crawl backwards out of the tunnel]
[D-19613 stops crawling]
D-19613: Wait, wait, no that's not possible.
[D-19974 speaks, inaudible due to technical issues]
D-19613: The tunnel closed in! There's no tunnel behind me! Just a blank fucking wall!
[D-19974 speaks again]
Command: There's no reason to be alarmed. You can keep moving forward.
D-19613: What about the quicksand?
Command: It's either that or stay there and slowly starve.
[D-19974 speaks again]
[D-19974 begins crawling forward]
[as D-19613 crosses the black soil, his audio equipment becomes nonfunctional as well]
[this crawl continues for 66 more minutes]
[D-19974 crawls out of the tunnel and onto the top of the stone pedestal, through a hole that was not present on previous observation]
D-19974: [audio equipment now functional] That's impossible. I was crawling up that tunnel like I was on the ground. The gravity…
[D-19613, despite being directly behind D-19974, does not crawl out of the hole]
[D-19613's video feed shows him still crawling through the hole, behind D-19974]
Command: 19613, can you read us? 19613, come in!
[D-19613 continues crawling without response]
D-19974: Juan? What the hell are you doing?
[D-19974's video feed shows D-19852 sitting in front of a large crystal, drawing in the soil with what appears to be a stick]
D-19974: Where did you get that?
D-19852: The tree.
D-19974: What tree? There's no trees on this planet.
D-19852: The tree gave it to me. It wanted me to have it. It was sacrificing itself.
D-19974: What the fuck are you talking about?

D-19974, as seen through D-19613's video feed, exits the tunnel and into a large, brightly lit room. There is no apparent source of this room's light. D-19613 exits the tunnel and enters the brightly lit room. D-19613 appears to begin speaking to D-19974, his voice is still not audible. D-19974 does not respond in any way. D-19613 forcibly turns D-19974 around. The glass on D-19974's helmet is black, the contents inside are not visible. The suit is seen attacking D-19613 before the video feed switches to that of the "fake" D-19974. The entity is seen repeatedly striking the glass on D-19613's helmet until it breaks. D-19613's face is now covered in a thick, black substance, D-19613 appears to be suffocating. The entity's video feed ceases functioning.

D-19613's vital signs do not corroborate that any of these events have taken place.

D-19974: What are you drawing?
D-19852: The words in the crystals.
D-19974: What words? These crystals are completely blank.
D-19852: You aren't awake yet.
Command: D-19852, enter Pluto-7. That is an order.
D-19852: I'm sorry. I'm busy.
Command: 19974, forcibly remove him.
[D-19974 carries D-19852 away from the crystal]
[D-19974 and 19852 arrive at the circle]
D-19974: But wait, I went the right way. This should be the drone.
[the statues within the circle are in physically different positions than they were upon previous observation]
D-19974: Is it a new circle?
Command: All other geographical landmarks match up to the previous observation. Go around the area until you find Pluto-7. Just to be safe.
[D-19974 carries D-19852 around SCP-2000-5 and finds Pluto-7]
[D-19613 is seen sitting inside Pluto-7, asleep, his audio and video equipment has been manually turned off]
D-19974: How did Ryan get here?
Command: 19613, wake up.
D-19613: What? [D-19613 sits up] What is it?
Command: How did you get back to the craft?
D-19613: Huh? I was always here. We weren't going on any missions today. I thought we were traveling.
D-19852: Ow, my fucking head.
[D-19852 enters Pluto-7 and begins sleeping]
Command: Camp here for tonight. Exploration will continue tomorrow. Proceed with extreme caution. For tonight, we plan on observing the circle.

End Log

Once the D-Class enter Pluto-7, the drone is driven 0.3 km away from the circle. Once the drone is an appropriate distance from the circle, the drone's camera is trained toward the circle. Over the course of the night, while it is too dark for the camera to see, a sound is detected from near the craft, resembling a horse-drawn carriage moving past it at high speed. After this sound passes, the drone's audio detects a loud buzzing sound, interrupted only by periods in which the drone's audio equipment ceases functioning and only ends when the sun rises. The origin of these sounds were not determined.

During the night on SCP-2000, the camera's view is completely dark. In the morning, once the surrounding landscape is visible again, the statues are seen to be in different positions than they were the day before. All of the statues are now bent over.

Over the next eighteen of SCP-2000's days, the statues slowly change position every night. Due to the darkness of the planet's nights, it is unknown if this takes place at the same time. In their movements, the statues are observed to travel the following path in a repeating, eight-day cycle.

Because of the continued cycles, three cameras were placed in the area to observe the cycle and any possible deviations. The first camera was placed near the pedestal to observe the activity on Day 7, the second was placed outside the circle to observe Days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the third was placed inside the circle to observe the "second area", where the circle is completely surrounded by crystals.

Cameras 1 and 2 have recorded no deviations in the cycle since being placed. On the first night after Camera 3 was placed inside the circle, the area the camera was placed in became as dark as is normal on SCP-2000. The camera's view remained dark, even during what was daytime for the other two cameras. Due to the shortage of personnel, no plans were made to attempt to retrieve it.

The characters D-19852 wrote into the soil appeared to be from an unknown language. Foundation linguists have translated the following from it.

[untranslated, resembles "haibonudo"] FLY LOW IN [resembles "jrusuvol"] SUNKEN/FALLEN SUMMERS [resembles "wtrujp"] THE NINTH DAY [resembles "qnist oblik"] THE KINGDOM/EMPIRE WITH SIX SONS/SUNS BLUE OCEANS [resembles "yviuhh"] SECOND SON/SUN SHOW/REVEAL [resembles "kyuthbvtyts"] THE UNGODLY PLAGUE

This writing contains no apparent meaning.

The stick D-19852 was carrying was determined to be that of quercus alba, a white oak. The tree this branch could have come from was searched for, but never found. The object's source is unknown.

On ██/██/19██ at 2330EST, the remaining crew of Pluto-7 was sent to investigate the landmark labeled SCP-2000-6. Due to mechanical failures near the object, Pluto-7 was deemed unable to continue the mission. The three remaining D-Class, as well as Charon-9 were able to gain a visual on the object.

Due to the object's location, investigation was deemed impossible, however the crew would be sent to investigate to the best of their abilities regardless.

[all equipped cameras show that the crew is standing in what appears to be the ruins of a large city]
D-19974: This place looks familiar for some reason.
D-19852: It reminds me of somewhere I've been before. I can't remember where exactly, though.
Command: This area wasn't seen in any observation from Earth or satellites. You may be in the middle of a spacial anomaly, so proceed with caution.
D-19613: We should split up for a bit. I'll take this side of the town.
D-19974: Sounds good. I'll go this way.
[D-19613 and 19974 leave, D-19852 remains with Charon-9]
D-19852: What should I do?
Command: It's a large area. 19613 went east, 19974 went west. Explore toward the north.
D-19852: Gotcha.
[D-19852 begins traveling north, Charon-9 follows D-19613]
[eighteen minutes pass with no notable events]
D-19613: Hey, what the fuck is this?
[D-19613 approaches what appears to be an impossibly large hole in the ground, the other side of the hole, if present at all, is not visible]
Command: Our observations didn't see this either.
D-19613: It's just a sheer cliff. It's like the entire planet just ends right here.
[Charon-9's audio receptors detect a mixture of buzzing and indistinct whispering, determined to come from the hole]
D-19613: I can hear something.
Command: Describe the sound.
D-19613: It sounds like whispering. It's saying something… It sounds like… Uh… "Follow."
Command: It would be best not to stay near the hole for too long. The objects on this planet have been known to have psychological effects on humans.
D-19613: Yeah…
[D-19613 remains in place looking into the hole]
Command: 19613, that was an order.
D-19613: I'm sorry. I just… I can't focus.
D-19852: What's this over here? [D-19852's camera is trained toward a flight of stairs leading underground] Should I go down?
Command: Proceed with caution.
[D-19852 begins descending the staircase, his camera feed goes black from the darkness]
D-19613: I… Uh… [D-19613 begins walking away from the hole]
[a tremor occurs, D-19613 falls to the ground]
[a black substance, similar to the black substance observed during previous explorations, is seen collecting on D-19613's feet]
D-19613: Oh shit! Help! What is this shit!?
[D-19613's camera ceases functioning for five seconds]
[D-19613's camera is restored to full function, it shows him falling, apparently into the hole, for 22 seconds before his equipment suddenly stops transmitting]
Command: Dammit.
D-19852: Did something happen to Ryan?
Command: No. Continue your mission.
D-19974: Holy shit! Where did this come from?

D-19974's camera is panned upward toward SCP-2000-6. A long, white object is seen extending from the bottom of the object, toward the ground. As D-19974 pans his camera downward, the object is found to be a spiral staircase. Upon closer examination, the staircase appears to be constructed of the same crystal as found in SCP-2000-1 through -3 and -5. The staircase has no pole or any other method of support.

D-19974: You all saw. That wasn't there before.
Command: No, it wasn't.
D-19974: It looks like it would take a hell of a long time to climb it.
Command: We've determined the object is over 14 kilometers above the surface.
D-19974: That could take days.
Command: I'm not sure if that's exactly accurate, but it would take many hours.
D-19852: Command, I'm seeing a light at the bottom of the staircase. Just wanted to get your attention on that one.
Command: Proceed.
[D-19852 proceeds down the staircase and emerges from a building on the surface]
D-19852: But wait… That's impossible! I went down! The staircase never went up! It just kept going down! How can that be?
Command: 19852, calm down. It seems to be another spacial anomaly.
D-19852: Considering what I heard about the circle, I'm not comfortable down here. Should I head back up the staircase?
Command: There doesn't seem to be anything out of place. Just explore this new area, assuming that it is, in fact, a new area of course.
[D-19852 turns toward the staircase to find that it leads upward toward a wall]
D-19852: Well, I guess I won't be going up there either way.
[D-19852 moves away from the building]
D-19852: Come to think of it, this building looks too small for those stairs anyway.
Command: Noted, please proceed.
[D-19852 moves toward SCP-2000-6's staircase and rendezvouses with D-19974]
D-19974: Where's Ryan?
Command: He won't be coming.
D-19852: What happened to him?
Command: An accident occurred. Now continue your mission.
[Command has directed Charon-9 to meet up with the D-Class at the base of the spiral staircase]
D-19974: Alright, are we climbing this thing?
Command: Yes.
D-19852: We probably won't make it to the top. If we're exposed on this planet at night, we'll freeze to death. The drone doesn't work anymore?
Command: It is currently considered unfit for use.
D-19852: Does that mean we can't use it for shelter?
Command: The life support systems were also rendered unusable.
D-19852: So we're going to die no matter what?
Command: You knew that this was a suicide mission going in, 19852. You knew that there would be no way of returning to Earth. You were informed of that before you left.
D-19852: I guess I was. Well, either way, I guess you need us for science. So you can contain this thing somehow. I mean, however it is you contain a planet.
Command: Please proceed up the stairs.

D-19852, D-19974, and Charon-9 begin ascending the staircase. The ascent continues without sound or interruption for 3 minutes.

D-19974: What's that?
[D-19974 is indicating the enormous hole that D-19613 fell into]
Command: That appears to be a hole in the ground. We've yet to gain any information on it.
D-19852: Why didn't we investigate that?
Command: 19613 did. He was killed by a cave-in.
D-19852: Oh. So that's what happened to Ryan.
D-19974: It looks kind of like an ocean of oil. Like one of those oil spills.
Command: Climb as high as you can and see if the other side is visible.
D-19974: Alright.
D-19852: Fine…

[67 minutes pass with no significant events]

D-19852: Are we getting any closer to it?
Command: It'll take a lot longer to make it to the top than that.
D-19852: We'll never make it before the sun goes down. It's already going down.
Command: 19852, please continue the mission. Go as high as you can in your remaining time.

[the two D-Class continue ascending for another 48 minutes]
[21 minutes into the ascent, the sound of gunfire is audible, coming from the ground]

At this point, the sun is barely visible on the horizon. D-19852 ceases his climb and turns toward the side of the stairs, while D-19974 and Charon-9 continue.

Command: D-19852, continue climbing.
D-19852: Or what.
Command: 19852, that's an order.
D-19852: How are you going to enforce it? Why the hell have we been listening to you guys this entire time anyway?
Command: D-19852, we chose the D-Class for this mission based on specific criteria. We are also rewarding your families for your efforts. That repayment can be revoked if you are going to be uncooperative.
D-19852: My family? I'm dead to them. I'll never see them again.
[D-19852 moves toward the edge of the staircase]
D-19852: I'm sorry, man. I can't do it anymore. I don't want to freeze to death up here. I'm going out my own way. Besides, maybe now I can get that damn buzzing out of my head.
Command: 19974, stop him!

D-19852 allows himself to fall from the side of the staircase. D-19852 falls for 65 seconds before impacting the ground. His vital signs indicate that he died on impact. During the fall, D-19852's audio receptors pick up an extremely loud buzzing sound. All video and audio equipment ceased functioning upon impact as well.

D-19974: So I guess it's a solo mission from now on.
Command: Are there any arguments?
D-19974: No. I'm fine.

[D-19974 continues climbing for the next five hours]

D-19974: I'm not sure if I can go any further. I'm tired… And I can't even see what's in front of me anymore… It's so cold out here… Even with the suit…
Command: Based on the temperatures and length of this planet's nights, you may not have much time left. Because of the darkness and distance from the object, there is no further research you are capable of performing in your current state.
D-19974: I think I get what you're playing at.
Command: Consider yourself discharged.
D-19974: Oh well. It's not like it was all bad or anything. I got to go into space. I got to walk around on a distant planet. I'm an actual fucking astronaut. Nobody will probably ever walk on this planet again. Know what it's like to say you're literally the last man on the planet? I've always liked space.
[D-19974 lays across one of the steps]
D-19974: Just send this little robot guy ahead. I'm just gonna look up until it's over.
[Command directs Charon-9 to continue up the staircase]
D-19974: See you later.
Command: Thank you for your service.
[Command ceases radio contact with D-19974. D-19974 is presumed dead]

The remainder of the log contains no communication.

After 56 more hours of travel, Charon-9 reaches the exterior pathway of SCP-2000-6. The object appears to be constructed of the same stone as commonly found on SCP-2000. From the drone's current position, it would be able to climb higher on the surface of the structure via a walkway on the object's exterior. Charon-9 is directed to follow this pathway to its end.

After six minutes of travel, the pathway leads to the object's interior via a rectangular corridor. While inside the structure, Charon-9's audio equipment receives a small amount of unexplained feedback. The corridor contains no notable features.

The corridor continues for 48 minutes with no change in direction. Charon-9 exits the corridor and enters a large chamber. The chamber's ceiling is estimated to be 45 m in height. Approximately 20 m above the floor is an unidentified phenomenon; a transparent, silver liquid is suspended in midair. The bottom surface of this liquid is noted to ripple in a way similar to seawater. Charon-9 exits the chamber after six minutes of exploration determined that there was no further anomalous activity to observe.

Charon-9 continues into a corridor identical to the first and travels for 61 minutes. Charon-9 exits onto a balcony. From the drone's camera, the large hole is visible. The opposite side of the hole is still not visible, leaving the formation's full size undetermined. The drone is directed toward a second walkway. After sixteen minutes of travel, Charon-9 enters a small hole at the end of the walkway. The hole is too small for a human to be able to walk through at their full height. This corridor curves, ascends, and descends at seemingly random intervals. No seams are observed anywhere in the walls.

After 84 minutes of traveling through the small opening, the drone's camera is trained upon a small, black patch on the ceiling. The patch appears to be organic in nature, resembling the black substance observed throughout the mission. The drone's audio equipment becomes nonfunctional as long as the patch remains within view.

The drone continues for 46 more minutes. As the drone continues, more patches of this black, organic matter (currently classified SCP-2000-A) are visible along the surfaces within the tunnel, becoming more common as the drone progresses. Due to the matter's effects, the drone's audio equipment is no longer functional. After eleven minutes, the matter is coating the entire floor and ceiling of the tunnel.

The drone continues for another 42 minutes before the exit of the tunnel is reached. The room the drone exits into is a large room, similar to the first chamber, although smaller in size. The drone's audio receptors are restored to full function. As long as SCP-2000-A remains out of the camera's view, the drone's audio equipment detects a buzzing sound, which appears to be originating from the tunnel.

Charon-9 is directed to exit the room and ascend a small flight of stairs. The staircase enters into what appears to be a throne room. Within the room is a fallen statue, similar to the statues found near SCP-2000-5, however measuring approximately 9 m in height. The ceiling to this room is obscured by a thick, white gas of unknown composition. As the drone is directed to leave the room through a doorway on the opposite side, an extremely loud sound, resembling a close-proximity lightning strike, is detected. No damage or evidence of an actual lightning strike is observed.

After exiting the "throne room", Charon-9 enters a small corridor. On one wall of this corridor is a large, carved mural depicting the Sun's solar system. Of note is that Earth is not depicted in the mural; instead Mars is placed where Earth is currently located and a planet resembling SCP-2000 is in Mars' current location. The meaning of this mural is currently unknown. The wall on the other side of the corridor contains holes in the, which function as windows, however they are too high above the floor for the drone to be able to see out of. A faint glow is noted to come from the windows, the source of which has yet to be determined. As the drone continues, loud sounds, similar to furniture being moved or destroyed is audible, coming from the windows. The source of these noises is unknown.

Charon-9 enters a small tunnel, similar to where the black matter was found. The tunnel continues straight for four minutes until it comes to a steep incline. Charon-9 climbs this incline successfully, this includes a long section where the ascent curves to a 90° angle, which normally should have rendered such travel impossible. During this stretch, the tunnel narrows in all directions. It is believed that the tunnel narrows to a size as small as 4 cm, approximately the size of the drone's camera. It is unknown how Charon-9 managed to move at such an angle and traversing such a narrow passage would be physically impossible for the drone to accomplish. The tunnel continues at a 90° angle for eighteen more minutes before gradually curving to standard, horizontal angle.

When the drone exits the tunnel, it enters a large chamber. The walls of the chamber are coated in SCP-2000-A, and are not visible. In the center of the room, hanging from the ceiling, is a large mass of SCP-2000-A, resembling an unidentified organ. Upon being approached by the drone, the tissue connecting the object to the ceiling retracts, pulling the organ up to the ceiling.

As Charon-9 exits this room through a large doorway, the drone suddenly ceases movement. Charon-9 begins moving backward with no input from Command. The drone slowly rolls backward until it makes contact with the wall, preventing any further movement. Foundation Command regains control of Charon-9 and directs it to continue in its previous direction. The drone enters a room that is coated entirely in SCP-2000-A. The room contains two rows of six columns. Strands of SCP-2000-A connect the columns, forming a web-like formation. One strand is seen swinging violently. When the drone approaches this strand, it severs from no apparent cause and ceases movement.

The drone is maneuvered around the columns and out of the room through a hole in the wall on the opposite side from the door. The hole leads to an extremely tall, brightly lit shaft. In the center of the shaft is an extremely large statue, similar to the statues found previously. The statue is entirely coated in SCP-2000-A, which is noted to pulse and move. The walls of the room appear to be mirrors, although there are no seams to indicate the presence of multiple mirrors. Charon-9 proceeds around the room with the intent of finding a second exit; no second exit is located. The drone is directed to turn around and leave, however the doorway the drone entered from is no longer present. The drone's camera is directed toward a mirror, which shows that the drone itself is coated in SCP-2000-A. The mirrors also do not show the reflection of the statue at the center of the room; in its place is a web of SCP-2000-A, extending as far up into the shaft as is visible. On the floor, attached to SCP-2000-A, are three crystals. These appear to be scaled-down replicas of SCP-2000-1, -2, and -3. In the center is a glass dome, which appears to equate to SCP-2000-4 in this replica.

As Charon-9 approaches the statue, a black liquid leaks down to the floor from an unidentified source. Panning up does not reveal any specific source, however it is deemed likely that it was excreted by SCP-2000-A. From no apparent source, a voice whispering the words "I can't get out" is audible. However, the drone's audio receptors are non-functional, as it normally is when SCP-2000-A is in view. The sound was also not detected on any audio files from this log. Because of this, it is theorized that SCP-2000-A contains a memetic effect even on remote observers. The voice was later identified as that of D-19613. After 35 seconds of discussion from Foundation Command, a humanoid object is seen emerging from the SCP-2000-A that is covering the statue. In reversing away from the entity, a web-like formation, similar to the mass visible in the mirror, is now visible, connecting to the statue's head. The humanoid entity breaks off from the statue, except for twelve thin strands of SCP-2000-A, connecting back to the statue. As the entity approaches Charon-9, the strands connecting it to the statue migrate from the base of the statue, upward and into the web-like mass. The entity appears to be D-19613, who is coated in SCP-2000-A. D-19613 remains connected to the mass of SCP-2000-A by thin strands of the substance. Charon-9 notes small, green, glowing spheres floating in a circle around the above mass of SCP-2000-A.

D-19613 begins approaching Charon-9. Charon-9 is maneuvered away from the entity, however the drone's camera ceases functioning as soon as D-19613 is out of view. The remainder of the video log is static and the remainder of the audio log is a loud screeching sound.

End Log

When the log was finished recording, a virus was detected within Foundation computers. The virus would cause the letters "XJKJ" to appear endlessly on the monitor of any computer infected with it. After 17 hours of cleanup, the virus was contained.

It's a real shame we didn't get to study this thing more. It feels like we haven't even scratched the surface of what's actually going on up there. It's also a damn shame we won't get another chance to research this thing until many, many years from now. Now, as for what's actually going on, the Foundation has a few theories, only one of them really holds any water.

The first theory is the "Nibiru Theory". It's a pretty simple one. It's just a formerly-inhabited planet that somehow got kicked out of its home solar system, which killed off its inhabitants. Simple, right? We think so, and that's why we're mostly backing this one.

Another one is the "Theia Theory". In this one, this planet is actually Theia, the planet that crashed into Earth billions of years ago and created the moon with the debris from the explosion. We don't really hold much faith for this one. There's no real evidence of it and it wouldn't explain where all the ruins came from. Besides, the only thing that even somewhat supports it is one mural found in SCP-2000-6, and even then it's far from clear what exactly that mural is supposed to mean.

Now, the real doozy that they've come up with is the "First Earth Theory", and even the boys in tinfoil think this one is a little crazy. In this one, SCP-2000 is actually where human life came from. We came to this planet and somehow, we just forgot all about it. I don't know how these people think this one even works and I doubt I ever will.

Speaking of which, you may be wondering what's going on on SCP-2000. "How does -6 stay afloat? Where does the cable go? How are the crystals so big? What was that black stuff? How is any of it connected?" We don't know. It isn't as though we didn't investigate, we just couldn't find out before our window of research closed. I'm sure there is something tying it all together, but we just don't know what it is. Maybe on its next fly-by.

Either way, regardless of what planet this is, we do have more urgent matters regarding it to take care of. We know exactly when the next Edinburgh-37 Event is going to take place, and we won't be able to stop it in time. The boys are talking about actually moving onto and colonizing the object. They theorize that it'll somehow kick Earth out of its orbit and actually take its place as third planet from the sun. Again, I don't know how they come up with some of this stuff. I'm pretty sure such a thing isn't even possible. Either way, if you're reading this, it might have worked. Considering what we can do, you probably won't even remember it.

Now, we already know about the last Edinburgh-37 Event. Earth used to be much lower laterally than the rest of the planets in our solar system and this thing's fly-by pulled us up to match them. It also moved us a little closer, but that didn't have any really significant effects.

As for that whole mess with the information leak? We don't know who did it. Nu-16 is working like a charm, though. When dealing with something as unbelievable as this, all you have to do is cast a little doubt and all people will see is a tinfoil hat. But what worries me about the leak is that we didn't find any evidence of how it happened. We keep a tight lid on this type of thing and we found nothing. But what we did notice is the fact that the "XJKJ" virus appeared in one computer outside the Foundation. One. It belonged to Jeff Furman, conspiracy theorist extraordinaire. He was the one primarily spreading the information. So how exactly did he get such specific information from a computer virus? We don't know. We killed the virus when it was in our systems and Furman's computer doesn't even work anymore. If the "virus" gave him the information somehow, it obviously didn't give him all of it, since he and the other theorists seemed to be under the impression that the things on 2000 are on Earth's moon. That made our jobs a bit easier, since all they had to do was look at the moon and see that there are no impossibly large crystals up there. We haven't found any other evidence of the virus, plus Nu-16 would negate its main threat, so we're not even concerned enough to put it in the containment procedures.

Again, I regret the fact that we can't study this thing better. We don't even know all the details of our own planet, I can only imagine what this one's story is. I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later, whether we like it or not.

The following was recorded on ██/██/████ in ███████████████, ███████, ██████ ███████. The homeowner of the target residence was ████ ██████. Mr. ██████'s testimony claims that he installed the security cameras due to his fear of extraterrestrial abduction.

[01:17]: A camera viewing the back yard of Mr. ██████'s residence shows a pack of nine members of SCP-XXXX appear.
[01:18]: All members of the pack assign themselves to one of the home's windows and begin observing the interior through them. The pack members remain completely still during this time.
[01:37]: The pack members disperse from the windows and assemble near the home's back door. The creatures attempt to gain entry to the home. The door is locked. Presumably to avoid drawing attention to themselves, the creatures do not use force on the door, instead moving to different entry points.
[01:44]: After trying all entry points on the home, entry to the home is gained through an unlocked window. All pack members assemble to this window and two are sent inside.
[01:45]: Internal camera places the location of this window as the home's bathroom. Both pack members are shown leaving the bathroom. A separate camera now shows the two entering the home's main corridor.
[01:46]: Both pack members separate and proceed to search different areas. One member, hereby referred to as "Scout-1," is seen searching the main bedroom and living room. Notably, no doors were opened during this time, instead, Scout-1 remains stationary outside each door for extended periods of time. The second, "Scout-2," is shown searching the dining room and kitchen. During this time, the homeowner is asleep.
[02:02]: The two "scouts" exit the home through the bathroom window momentarily. They then reenter, followed by all members of the present pack.
[02:03]: All pack members enter the kitchen and begin searching the cabinets or pantry for food. Each member appears to select two items, which are placed on the nearest table.
[02:05]: Once all food items are selected, the creatures assemble around the table. The creatures then fill up the four seats as are available. The remaining five remain crouched on the floor in their standard posture.
[02:07]: One seated pack member equally distributes the food to the other creatures, taking a slightly larger portion of each for itself, which none present object to. This creature is currently presumed to be the pack leader.
[02:19]: The creatures consume the given portions. At this time, the pack members begin cleaning the kitchen. All trash from food items and uneaten food is placed in the nearby trash can.
[02:25]: All pack members are seen exiting the home through the bathroom window, closing it after the last member has done so. All members then displace.
[end log]

After this incident, Mr. ██████ found the footage taken by his security cameras. After uploading the footage to the internet under the title "DIRTY ALIENS BREAK INTO MY HOUSE," the Foundation became involved to investigate. The uploaded video was immediately taken down and Mr. ██████ was interviewed and dosed with Class C amnesiacs.

The following was recorded, once again, at the home of Mr. ██████. This log took place on ██/██/████.

[01:03]: The pack, identified as the same pack of nine from Video Log-XXXX-A, appears outside Mr. ██████'s home.
[01:09]: The pack searches for an entry, finding one in Mr. ██████'s bedroom window.
[01:16]: All pack members enter the house through this window. Of note is that the scouting step was almost entirely skipped during this event, presumably due to existing familiarity with the home's layout. The only scouting that took place during this event was a brief watch over the sleeping Mr. ██████.
[01:19]: The pack enters the kitchen and begin their feeding event.
[01:28]: Mr. ██████ is seen getting out of bed. Mr. ██████ notices the open window and calls the police. Due to the prior instance of SCP-XXXX's presence in Mr. ██████'s home, the Foundation was immediately notified and Mobile Task Force ██████-█ was dispatched to investigate.
[01:30]: Mr. ██████ obtains a shotgun from underneath his bed and exits the bedroom.
[01:31]: Mr. ██████ remains hidden from the members of SCP-XXXX.
[01:32]: Mr. ██████ looks into the kitchen to see the pack engaging in their feeding event. Mr. ██████ stays here for four minutes, watching the pack unnoticed.
[01:36]: A member of SCP-XXXX spots Mr. ██████. The pack begins emanating a loud, squealing vocalization. The pack sets upon Mr. ██████. Before a he can make any attempt to defend himself, the pack uses claws and teeth to kill Mr. ██████.
[01:39]: The pack drag Mr. ██████'s body over to the kitchen table, where the presumed pack leader uses its claws to open his chest cavity, removing organs, which the pack then distributes as part of its feeding event.
[01:43]: Once all organs are consumed, the pack begins consuming the skin and muscle tissue.
[01:46]: At this point, one member of the pack has licked the blood from the floor, leaving no trace of the attack. The pack members now begin consuming Mr. ██████'s bones, showing no difficulty in this process.
[01:51]: The pack begin to consume the clothing and shotgun carried by Mr. ██████.
[01:58]: At this point, MTF ██████-█ arrives on scene. Agent ███████ is seen breaching the back door. Upon SCP-XXXX attacking, a fire fight ensues.
[02:17]: Fire fight concluded when the surviving three creatures flee the home by breaking through an open window and displacing. Video equipment retrieved.
[end log]

In all, MTF ██████-█ suffers one casualty and three injuries. Six members of SCP-XXXX are killed, their bodies contained for study.

The neighbors of Mr. ██████ are administered Class A amnesiacs.
