SCP-644: And in my twilight years, | started some pet 
projects. One of the projects literally became a pet, 
actually, like... the concept of it was animate. Got 
torched when it started biting fingers. But, boss, he said 
to me that he had a cool idea. And he told me about it, 
and | was just in love. So he gave me this tattoo, and told 
me my desk job days were complete. Actually, that / was 
complete. And that | needed to head out and start 
spreading the love. So many underprivileged kids... did 
you know one in five children live beneath the poverty 
line? They could use some Wondertainment, am | right? 
That was all about... seven years ago. 


Dr. Latimer: And that's when you became 'Mister Hot'? 


SCP-644: | was always Mister Hot, ma'am. Now, are you 


picked up off the ground. 
O5- : Did you do that? 
Huang: No. 

O5- : Please continue. 


Huang: The exact details escape me. However, 
approximately thirty seconds into the firefight, | became 
aware of somebody using SCP-399 as an enhanced 
stunner by producing what | presume to be some sort of 
pressure shockwave. Perhaps unauthorized usage of 
SCP-914 provided a power source. 


O5- : Do you know exactly how 17-Gamma’s 
containment unit was breached? 


Huang: No. | didn’t even see it happen. Maybe a stray 
grenade caused structural damage. But even if | had 
seen the breach occur, | wouldn’t have understood the 
significance. | didn’t know what 17-Gamma was 
containing. | didn’t have the clearance. | assume that 
many others were similarly unaware. In the absence of a 
chain of command, we simply didn’t know where not to 
go and what not to do. 


O5- : What happened during Containment Breach 
13-34? 


Huang: The shockwaves were very loud, which already 
exacerbated the situation. However, that alone was not 
enough to cause the destruction associated with 
Containment Breach 13-34. | am not entirely certain, but 
| have my suspicions about what did. A piece of metal 
debris that resonated with a shockwave in just the right 
way, producing a sound quite like a bell...we all know 
what happened next. | remember an explosion of wings, 
and then, nothing. | woke up a few minutes later. 
SCP-469 was nowhere in sight. 


O5- : So Containment Breach 13-34 was the result of 
unfortunate coincidence? 


Huang: Maybe. But fifty-two people died in Containment 
Breach 13-34. If you wish to attribute that to unfortunate 
coincidence, that’s your decision, sir. 


0916 to 1103: Disorder 


This period of the crisis can be considered the nadir of 
the incident: due to complete loss of containment and the 
presence of the hostile party, Foundation elements were 
rendered both operational and combat ineffective. 
Hostile elements had free reign of the facility, and many 
priceless artifacts were lost. The situation was further 
exacerbated by a complete release of D-Class personnel 
when confinement protocols failed. The presence of 
several hundred hardened criminals in this crisis 
situation was, to put it mildly, not optimally conducive to 
maintaining order. 


It is at this point that certain facts about the hostile force 
became evident. Firstly, the training and skill level of the 
hostiles were widely disparate: certain elements 
displayed paramilitary levels of combat and tactical 
expertise, while others were clearly untrained civilians. 
Secondly, the goal of the hostile force was not capture, 
but release of the contained artifacts: although some 
opportunistic looting took place, escaping SCP artifacts 
were not pursued, but allowed to escape. 


It is for this reason that | believe that the hostile force 
were not directed by Marshall, Carter, and Dark: MC&D 
would not have passed up the opportunity to retrieve 
several key artifacts that could have proven lucrative to 
their private efforts. The modus operandi is also 
inconsistent with the GOC or the Chaos Insurgency: 
Among other things, the Global Occult Coalition would 
have simply eradicated the entire site, while the 


Insurgency would not have passed up the opportunity to 
capture several easily weaponized artifacts for private 
use. Although the goals seem consistent with the group 
called the Serpent's Hand, the brazen nature of the 
attack (and the lack of SCP-class artifacts among the 
attackers) are not characteristic of that organization's 
modus operandi. Further research is required.

Re: Parking lot 


Jerry— when | went back to the parking lot to head back 
to my office in the city, my car was gone and there was 
just this smoking crater where my parking spot used to 
be. The car isn't the issue- it was a rental, but that was 
_my_ parking spot. You know how often I'm in and out so 
| am requesting that the handicapped spot next to 
Building C be reassigned to me. 

Also, if you see Burt or Sungwoo, tell them | need a ride.

<Interview Begins> 


Dr. —_: We're almost done here. | hope you do realize 
your conduct in the cafeteria was highly unprofessional. 


Dr. Honey: | was not really thinking of my after-action 
review at the time, sir. 


Dr. __: Nevertheless, what did you do next? We've got 
this bit on camera, but we need you to confirm it. 


Dr. Honey: Well, | left the room after maybe...half an 
hour? 


Dr. : ls that an exact number? 
Dr. Honey: Forty five minutes? Wait... 
Dr. _: Dr. Honey, please face the camera. 


Dr. Honey: Oh...sorry, sorry, don't quite know what 
came over me there. (Laughs) 


Dr. : You left the room? 


Dr. Honey: Yes, and | ran right into a man...must have 
been a D-class, | suppose, with the jumpsuit...holding a 
fire extinguisher, and then... 


Dr. : Yes? 

Dr. Honey: |...| don't remember what happened next. |

Location: Checkpoint Camera, Service Entrance 4-02, Section Four 
Date: / /20 


0829L: Service Entrance 4-02 is visibly closed and 
locked down. Two heavily armed agents identified as 
Agent and Agent are guarding the entrance 
checkpoint while alarms are still audible in the 
background. The bodies of at least two hostile 
combatants are visible in the periphery. 


0829L: An individual visually identified as Dr. Rachel 
Mackenzie is seen rounding the corner towards the 
checkpoint, looking slightly disoriented. A gunshot wound 
is visible on her left shoulder. 


O830L - Agent — : Halt! Stop or we'll shoot! 


0831L - Dr. Mackenzie: Please don't shoot! I'm lost, 
there's people everywhere... | need help... 


0831L: Agents and look at each other, clearly 
uncomfortable. 


0831L - Agent : Where's your badge? Who are you? 
0832L - Dr. Mackenzie: I'm Mac... Mackenzie... | lost my 


badge when | got hit... (visible tears) please, | need 
help... 


0832L: Agents and trade looks again, and 
confer in whispers. 


0833L - Agent _ : "Alright, come here. Quick." 


0833L: Dr. Mackenzie looks behind her once, then 
quickly approaches the checkpoint. 


0834L - Agent — : "Okay. Just sit tight, and we'll-" 


0834L: As Dr. Mackenzie suddenly rushes directly at 
Agent _ , plunging her hand into his abdomen and 
tearing out what is presumed to be his liver. 


0835L - Agent : "What the hell-" 


0835L: Dr. Mackenzie turns and attacks Agent as 
Agent — collapses, pushing the former out of the 
camera's view. 


0835L: Sounds of struggling, followed a scream that is 
cut off. 


0837L: Individual previously identified as Dr. Mackenzie 
re-enters field of view, with a large amount of blood on 
her upper body. On closer inspection, her ears are 
elongated and fur-covered, and she proceeds to 
experiment with the door controls for several minutes 
before managing to un-seal the entrance. 


0840: Individual exits Site 17 via Service Entrance 4-02.

Interview: Agent IzumiJ = ("Enma Ai") 
Excerpt from Interview conducted by Agent _ , regarding Agent 
Izumi's involvement in Incident 234-900-Tempest Night-1. 


Agent — :State your location and assignment at the 
time of the explosions. 


Agent Izumi: SCP-966 containment chamber 
observation room. Surveillance of experiment 966- , 
regarding the possibility of sapience in SCP-966 
specimens. 


Agent _ : Describe what happened following the 
beginning of the incident. 


Agent Izumi: The incident began as the doors to 966 
chamber were opened in order to conduct the 
experiment. The explosions caused a momentary 
malfunction of the surveillance cameras and light 
equipment inside the room. Showing previously unknown 
cognitive capacity, the four 966 specimens contained 
overwhelmed the security guard in the room, removed 
his lead-lined helmet and appeared to continuously 
expose him to their waves for 10 seconds. As | 
equipped infrared goggles and entered the room in order 
to terminate them, the guard began to shout incoherently 
and shoot in all directions. | dived for cover and waited 
for his bullets to end. Unfortunately, this brief window of 
time allowed the four specimens to escape. 


Agent _ : The guard didn't hit any of them? 


interested in my product, or what? 
Dr. Latimer: What kind of toy did you have in mind? 


SCP-644: Ah, | was thinking 'Dr. Wondertainment's 
Carpal Critters™". It's a virtual pet, right? But it's not ina 
computer. It lives inside your forearm. Some local 
anesthesia, hollows the whole thing out. And then it's 
your friend! It can read you bedtime stories, do your 
math homework, whole rigmarole. And it's very 
understanding. You can yell at it, vent at it, tell it to get 
lost... and it'll forgive you, and be there to give your ulna 
a big hug when you make up! What do you say? 


Dr. Latimer: I'll think about it.
