Connection: (Connected to SCP-001-A-2)
Team: MTF Epsilon-6 ("Deep Diggers") reconnaissance unitObjective: Explore lower levels of SCP-001 while SCP-001-A-1 is absent from primary patrol zone.Date: ██/██/20██Location: SCP-001, Fourth Floor Chamber
[00:00]Team descends through central staircase beyond the Third Floor boundary. Lighting decreases significantly; humidity and pressure increase. Air described as "thick, stale, metallic."
[00:12]Chamber opens into massive hall estimated 180m across. Central figure identified: humanoid-shaped construct seated upon raised platform at far end. Estimated height: 30m. Appears motionless.
Cmdr. R████: "Eyes up. That's no statue."
[00:15]Team advances to 180m. Figure remains still. Instruments detect faint seismic activity.
Dr. Hino (remote observer): "Thermal imaging shows heat signatures along fractures in the surface. Crystalline veins. It's alive, or close enough."
[00:18]At 150m, figure raises head. Vibration recorded: 12 Hz sustained for 18 seconds. Dust dislodged from ceiling.
Op. Kane: "It's looking right at us—fall back?"
Cmdr. R████: "Hold. Record everything. No sudden moves."
[00:20]Entity begins to shift posture, partially rising from seated position. Ground tremor increases (measured at 2.7 on Richter scale).
Cmdr. R████: "Retreat! Two hundred meters, now!"
[00:22]Team withdraws to 210m. Entity halts movement, returns to seated posture. Vibrations cease gradually.
Op. Kane (breathing heavily): "It was waiting. Just waiting for us to get closer."
[00:27]Commander orders full retreat to stairwell. No pursuit observed.
SCP-001-A-2 demonstrates environmental awareness and territorial response within 200m radius.
Entity shows no pursuit behavior; its function appears defensive rather than aggressive.
Comparison to SCP-001-A-1 indicates distinct role differentiation between guardians of SCP-001.
Recommendation: Treat deeper levels as increasingly hazardous. Further expeditions require O5 approval.
