Item #: SCP-001
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
A permanent exclusion zone (██ km radius) has been established around SCP-001 under the cover story of restricted military testing grounds. Unauthorized entry is forbidden; civilians attempting to breach the perimeter are to be deterred with lethal force if necessary.
All exploration into SCP-001 is suspended indefinitely following Incident ██/██/20██. Future incursions require unanimous O5 Council approval.
Information regarding SCP-001's interior or its inhabitants is classified Level 5. Distribution of redacted copies is permitted only for counter-memetic safety training.
Description:
SCP-001 is a subterranean necropolis complex accessible through a mausoleum-like gate of black stone. Exterior dimensions suggest a structure less than 20 m²; however, internal measurements confirm a spatial expansion anomaly of unknown limits. At least ██ sublevels have been identified, each containing distinct architecture, anomalous ecosystems, and entities of unknown origin.
Entities within SCP-001 appear bound by a strict hierarchy. All field reports indicate deference to a higher unseen authority, provisionally designated ████████-Alpha. Entities possess thaumaturgical and physical abilities far surpassing baseline human capacity.
SCP-001-A designates one entity encountered during Incident ██/██/20██:
Appears as a pale humanoid female of anomalously perfect symmetry.
Attired in ornate aristocratic garments, inconsistent with funerary motifs of the complex.
Demonstrates anomalous hemokinesis (blood manipulation), regenerative healing, and extreme speed and strength.
Exhibits sadistic and predatory behavior, verbally taunting subjects before termination.
Recovered data suggests SCP-001-A functions as a guardian entity, tasked with preventing intrusion into SCP-001's deeper levels.
Discovery:
SCP-001 was identified following anomalous seismic and electromagnetic disturbances recorded in █████, ████████. Local accounts described "stone doors opening underground" and "shadows that drank men."
Mobile Task Force ████ was deployed to investigate. Initial reconnaissance confirmed the mausoleum entrance and penetrated approximately 300 m into SCP-001 before all communication ceased (see Addendum 001-1).

No remains of the team were recovered.
Addendum 001-2: Internal Analysis
Foundation analysts classify SCP-001-A as a guardian-class entity. Evidence suggests multiple entities of comparable or greater power exist within deeper strata of SCP-001, serving as enforcers for ████████-Alpha.
[DATA EXPUNGED] references imply systemic organization, possibly extending beyond SCP-001 itself.
