I’m In Charge of SCP

Item #: SCP-087

Object Class: Euclid

Description: Located on the campus of [REDACTED], SCP-087 is an unlit landing stairwell with 13 steps per floor, descending at an angle of 38 degrees.

Between the floors is a semicircular platform with a diameter of about 3 meters, which rotates 180 degrees every time the platform descends.

Since SCP-087's design limits visibility to approximately 1.5 steps, and there are no lamps or windows inside, any subject exploring SCP-087 must carry a light source.

Light sources over 75 watts have proven to be no better, as SCP-087 appears to absorb too much light.

Both test subject reports and audio recordings confirm the presence of distressed cries, presumably produced by children between the ages of █ and ██.

The source of the distress call was estimated to be 200 meters below the first platform, however, any attempts to descend the stairs failed to bring the subject any closer to the source of the sound.

The depth calculated by the deepest exploration has far exceeded the possible structural depth of the building and geological environment.

Until now, it is unknown whether SCP-087 has an end.

SCP-087 has had 4 exploration videos taken by D-class personnel so far, and each subject who conducted the exploration has encountered SCP-087-1, which is a face without pupils, nostrils, and mouth.

The nature of SCP-087-1 is completely unknown, but it has been determined that it is not the source of the distress call.

Explorers display intense fear and fear when confronted with SCP-087-1, but it is difficult to determine whether this feeling is abnormal or merely a natural reaction.

appendix:

In the two weeks following Expedition IV, several staff and students from the University of [REDACTED] reported hearing knocking on the door within SCP-087 at a frequency of 1-2 seconds.

After filling the door to SCP-087 with 6 cm thick industrial foam, all reports of knocking on the door have been discontinued.

Special Containment Procedures: The doorway leading to SCP-087 is constructed of reinforced steel plate with an electrically controlled locking mechanism. The entrance has been disguised as a cleaning room to match the design of the building in which it is located. The locking mechanism on the door handle is to remain locked unless Simultaneously apply ██ volts and turn the key counterclockwise. The door is lined with 6 cm thick industrial foam padding.

As a result of the last exploration, no personnel are allowed to enter SCP-087.

...

In the SCP Foundation, SCP-087 can be said to be famous, and like SCP682, it is also one of the inheritance items of the Foundation.

To put it simply, it is a bottomless stairwell with no lights, and there will be children crying for help from below.

Each time explorers encounter SCP-087-1 - a face without pupils, nostrils, or mouth, resembling a ghost.

Let's just say that SCP-087 fits almost all the elements of a horror movie.

The foundation has explored it 4 times, and the deepest one has reached 2 kilometers underground, but it still hasn't reached its bottom.

For the last time, the explorers saw a door and could confirm that the cry for help came from behind that door.

Then, there is no more.

After the explorer lost contact, the SCP Foundation completely sealed off the entrance to 087.

The foundation thought that it would gradually become a safe project, but unexpectedly, after many years, 087 became active again.

The cause of the incident was that a case occurred on the [DATA EXPUNGED] campus. Four students disappeared for no reason after cleaning the classroom in the evening self-study. The school and the police searched for many days, and finally found clues at the entrance of 087.

——on the old iron gate,

The contours of the faces of several students gradually became clear, with painful expressions.

It was as if someone was inside, pressing their face hard against the iron gate.

For a while, people were panicked, and the campus was forced to suspend classes.

The police wanted to forcibly break down the door, and the SCP dispatched agents immediately passed the news to the headquarters after learning about it, because Site14 was the closest to the [DATA EXPUNGED] school, so the task was assigned to Yang Xue and the others.

Yang Xue said: There is danger under SCP087. If there were not a few students inside, the foundation would not agree to re-exploration. The previous operations of D-class personnel all ended in failure, so this time we plan to send a mtf The team is going down, uncle hopes that you can come to the scene and give guidance.

Regarding SCP087, Zhang Jue doesn't know much more than the foundation, but he now has the title of a consultant, so it's hard to refuse.

Zhang Jue nodded and carefully recalled the relevant information.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the [DATA EXPUNGED] school in a special vehicle of the Foundation.

The entrance of 087 is disguised as a dilapidated cleaning room, on the basement floor.

When Zhang Jue and Yang Xue arrived, a group of heavily armed soldiers was already waiting outside the door.

A middle-aged man was lecturing them: To cooperate with the work of the researchers, no one is allowed to move around, and whoever dares to violate the order, I will shoot him dead!

Seeing Yang Xue coming, he asked the team members to rest where they were, and came forward: Xue'er, you are here. Noticing the strange man next to Yang Xue, he frowned slightly: This is——

Yang Xue introduced: His name is Zhang Jue. He is a special consultant recently hired by the foundation and is currently working at site 14.

Then she said to Zhang Jue: This is one of the mobile task forces in the CN area, the captain of 'Hong Ying', Guan Peng.

The left half of Guan Peng's face was severely burned, almost disfigured, and looked horrific.

Zhang Jue knew that the person who could serve as the captain of mtf was by no means easy.

He stretched out his hand: Hello, Captain Guan.

Guan Peng sized up Zhang Jue nonchalantly, because he also belonged to the CN district, and he had heard about the foundation hiring a special consultant, but he didn't expect that the other party was such a young man.

His and Zhang Jue's thoughts are somewhat similar. At this level, he will never make the mistake of judging people by their appearance.

He believed in the judgment of the top management of the foundation. Since this young man can serve as a special advisor, he must have something special.

Guan Peng said: It's not too late, since Xue'er and you are here, let's start.

Yang Xue looked at Zhang Jue. According to regulations, Zhang Jue must nod for this matter.

Zhang Jue looked at the closed iron gate and the four faces on the gate.

The current situation is unknown, the only certainty is that the four students must be inside.

No one knows what's going on inside without opening the door.

Zhang Jue nodded: Let's do it.

With a dull sound, the iron door closing SCP087 was opened.

In order to prevent danger, the staff were almost fully armed, but after the door was opened, no strange things came out of it.

The industrial foam filled inside the door has long since disappeared, only four strings of bloody footprints stretching down from the door.

Zhang Jue picked up the blood on the ground, rubbed it in his hands, and sniffed it under his nose.

The time does not exceed 24 hours. If you are lucky, there may still be people alive.

Then what should we do now? Yang Xue asked.

Zhang Jue looked into the stairwell.

Captain Guan, please inform your team members to prepare food, ropes and lighting equipment, and start work.
