You both are aware of the situation and have already had your 
operational, communications, and safety briefings, so I'll Keep this 
short and make sure you both know what is going on. 


Both of you will be entering SCP- and use its anomalous effects 
to enter what are commonly referred to by non-Foundation groups 
as "Ways". Due to the nature of SCP- __, you will both be rendered 
unrecognizable as Foundation agents and will be able to safely 
enter "The Library". The bad news is, testing has shown that SCP- 

is a one way deal. Good news is, our teams have identified an 
exit point that lets out in Melbourne, Australia. We will have a team 
there to return you to this base when you need to exit. Don't worry, 
you'll get your bodies back. Both of you have received a copy of 
"Fahrenheit 451", simply open it up to page 47 and read what's 
written there. | have been told by our research team that you should 
not do this until you need to get out of there. When you are inside of 
the Library you are not to violently engage any entities, | repeat, any 
entities you meet in there. Period. Am | clear? Good, if you so much 
as think of being violent you will both be out of there faster than you 
can blink. 


You are simply there to try to get a grasp on how large this thing is 
and do general reconnaissance, you know the specifics of the 
mission plan. Audio recordings will be made daily by one of you 
giving us updates on the status of the mission and yourselves. 
Should either of you die on this mission, we have a recovery team 
ready to retrieve your logs and data. 


Well, can you blame me? One murder investigation is 
nothing compared to the implications this wasp has for 
science.

It's been a fortnight already, I’m dying of anticipation, and 
it's not exactly smelling like roses in camp with this 
corpse lying about. When will the buggers pupate?

Good lord I’m thrilled! | feel like a proud father, they’ve 
finally emerged. Luckily I'd constructed an enclosure 
around the carcass a week ago, because they're bloody 
ENORMOUS. This is of truly prehistoric calibre. They’re 
colourful, yellow and red, positively stunning. Their 
exoskeleton is unlike any I’ve ever encountered. When 
they fly against the walls of their enclosure, the wire 
actually bends, and it’s really thick wire, too. They use 
such force and don’t seem to suffer any injuries, the 
exoskeleton must be extraordinarily tough. And the 
ovipositor of the females is incredible. 60-70 cm, if you 
can believe it. But | can’t record all this in two places, 
consult my data notebook.

Rather worried, nights have been particularly windy as of 
late, and they have finished off the corpse. Confound it, | 
don’t know how it’s possible, but they’ve eaten the hair 
and bones. They act with extreme aggression toward 
anything that moves, including myself, and the thudding 
as they bang against the walls is becoming rather 
unnerving. [This portion of text stricken out] | don’t 


I'll be frank, gentlemen, this is the first time we've gone back in there 
for over a year since we lost all of Team Faraway. You are to stay 
safe, stay passive, and don't do anything that will give you or us 
away and make this mission a failure. Good luck gentlemen, you will 
both be the first members of team 453-07, code name "Surveyors". 


End Transcript 


Audio log 10/21/ - Agent Christensen, Call sign "Chaplain" - 
Location: Base 


Excited for this mission, first time working with Walker, little bit 
nervous. This guy wrote the book on anomalous reconnaissance. 
Praying | don't screw up on this. Also a tad worried by not having 
any immediate support or weapons. | guess we should be okay 
though. | got my hands on a video log from project Faraway, scary 
shit with the giant guys with lanterns and crap. Since this is 
supposed to be a passive mission we'll be fine, anyone trying to 
attack us will get the same treatment. On another note, Bill told me 
SCP- occasionally doesn't switch your mind and just your 
memories, though that's probably him messing with me. Anyways... 
gonna get a good night's rest before we head out tomorrow, 
Chaplain out. 


Audio log 10/21/ - Agent Walters, Call sign "Walker" - 
Location: Base 


This is agent Walters, call sign "Walker" reporting in. Date is 10/21/ 
, location is Base 


Thoughts on mission in 1600 hours: Jittery, as is becoming 
increasingly often. 
Reminder: See base doctor after mission about jitters. 


Thoughts on partner: Good, records indicate Agent Christensen call 
sign "Chaplain" has a solid record in anomalous reconnaissance. 
Prediction: Will not get in the way during mission, might be an asset 
if utilized correctly. 


Information received about SCP-  :~12% chance of consciousness 
not switching. 


Thoughts: Probably should not tell Agent Christensen. 


Planned Actions: Will sleep at 1900 hours tonight. 
This is agent Walters, call sign "Walker", signing out. 


Excerpt from Team Surveyor Records. Mission 453-07-1. 
Mission start. 


Researcher Reynolds: Walker, Chaplain, are you ready 
to proceed? 

Walker: Ready when you are Reynolds 

Reynolds: Roger dodger Walker, activating SCP in T- 
minus 1 minute. 

Walker: Okay Chaplain, follow operating procedure, stay 
safe, and stick next to me. 

Chaplain: Understood. 

Walker: Good, when we go through, just stay calm, bad 
things happen to people who freak out during this. 
Reynolds: Targets set, transferring in T-minus 10 
seconds. 

Chaplain: Oh boy. 


At this point SCP- _ activates normally and it is 
contirmed that Agent Walters and Agent Christensen 
were safely transferred to the targets. Targets take 
control of the bodies of Agent Walters and Agent 
Christensen. Bodies are secured and placed into stasis 
for return to their owners. 


Audio log 10/22/_ - Agent Christensen, Call sign "Chaplain" - 
Location: The Library 


Personal Log 1, Day 1, Mission 453-07-01, Code name "Waypoint". 


Okay so Walker said | should make one of these to sort of 

summarize what I'm thinking here. It's a bit hard to concentrate 
when you're in a bathroom obviously not built for human use, | 
mean, why is there a bin labeled "Ice cream disposal" in here? 


What should | talk about? 


Okay so yeah, SCP-___ was fun, the whole process was very weird 
feeling but | think I've gotten used to this body, though this guy really 
needs to work out more. Once we switched | don't remember too 
many details, sensory overload | guess. Basically we're in a huge 
fucking library. Like you could walk for days and not reach the end, if 
there is an end. None of the other patrons seem very clear about the 
size, and we've got a lot of different answers. And the patrons, man, 
I've seen some weird crap but these guys just about take the cake. | 
had a conversation with a sapient lava lamp about our favorite 
books not ten minutes ago, and some sort of eldrich abomination 
just asked me where the men's room was. 


Walker seems completely unfazed, but he could be freaking out for 
all | know, the man is all business. We've been doing pretty well 
recon wise, the things that attacked Team Faraway are called 
docents, they sorta just walk around and guide people, seem sorta 
like the security dudes here, haven't gotten any of them to talk 
though. The other patrons say pretty much the only thing they seem 
to respond to is requests with help finding a book and violence, and 
considering how these guys are built no wonder Team Faraway 
didn't have a chance. The Library seems to be run and maintained 
by a variety of staff, most notably these things rooted to the floor at 
the reception desks people call Archivists and these weird spider 
things that are crawling all over the bookshelves that everyone else 
seems to ignore. When | asked someone about it they just looked at 
me and said that is what happens to people who break the rules. It 
was a bit creepy because he then slipped me a piece of paper that 
said "And who ask too many questions." 


Once | finish up in here | think I'll head to one of the reception desks 
and see if | can get a Library card, find out what | can about these 
Archivist dudes, maybe do some exploring of this atrium area where 
everyone hangs out. Gonna talk to Walker about maybe trying to get 
some definite proportions of how big this place is. 

Chaplain out. 


Audio log 10/22/_ = - Agent Walters, Call sign "Walker" - 
Location: The Library 


Personal Log 1, Day 1, Mission 453-07-01, Code name "Waypoint". 


This is Walker, reporting in. Current location is men's bathrooms 200 
feet east of our entrance point. Bathroom seems non-anomalous 
except for multiple items seemingly not built for human use, full 
report on items will be included with surveying documents. 


Entrance was uneventtul, still adjusting to new body. Chaplain has 
shown to be an asset when socializing with other entities within The 
Library. Possible use for gathering information regarding size and 
security measures within The Library. Library is to be deemed 
information containment only, pending further investigation. Current 
intel shows that it would be near impossible to effectively bar 
physical access to The Library, due to constant appearance and 
creation of "Ways", of which there seems to be no effective way to 
predict the appearance of. 


The nature of the entities within The Library is varying and 
unpredictable. There does not seem to be one source of anomalous 
entities within The Library, and observation has already shown three 
separate incidents of anomalous behaviors from said entities. Only 
definite entities met so far seem to come from The Library itself, 
commonly referred to as "Librarians". We have encountered three 
types of Librarians so far. Most notably are a large hunchback- 
esque creature with a lantern for a hand, called by patrons of The 
Library "Docents". Possibly act as security for The Library, will 
investigate possible weaknesses. Will include full report on the 
Librarians along with Surveyor documents. Will discuss with 
Chaplain about possible exploration as to the extent of The Library, 
and | will be placing each other's logs on both of our logbooks 
should something happen to one of us.

Personal Log 2, Day 2, Mission 453-07-01, Code name "Waypoint". 


Finally got a chance to make another log, been really busy for the 
past day. Walker and | decided that we will personally explore the 
limits of The Library, since we aren't getting any solid answers from 
the patrons. We've bought a couple supplies from some patrons and 


have figured out the path we're gonna take to the edge, and if we 
don't reach an edge in two days we turn back. | haven't really caught 
any sleep since we got here, a nap here and a nap there, but once 
we set out | should be able to sleep some. We were told to find 
some lodging in the Reading Room, which happens to be 
completely controlled by the Serpent's Hand. 


Oh yeah, the Serpent's Hand. Wow, these guys are totally different 
than from what I've heard, almost all of them could be SCPs and 
enough of them have mind-reading powers that Walker ruled that we 
don't go in there. They seem pretty disorganized and most of them 
seem pretty laid back and just interested in reading books, a couple 
told me about their leader, L.S, whom appears to be very charming 
and chill, despite his hatred for just about everyone who isn't an SH 
member. Really interesting stuff, Walker compiled all the relevant 
information into the records, so | won't bother going over it. 


Audio log 10/24/_ - Agent Christensen, Call sign "Chaplain" - 
Location: The Library 


Sing it with me Walker! ... Come on, it's a good song. 
Seein' things that | may never see aga- 

Oh fuck you're right I'm recording. 

Personal Log 3, Day 3. 


Hey this is Chaplain yadda yadda we're doing great and we're 
heading toward the edge of The Library. Yeah I'm getting there hold 
up a second. Walker wants to let you know that we have traveled 
exactly 15.3 miles today as we head toward the edge, currently 
there is no end in sight and the bookshelves continue to go on. Yeah 
we've also been sorta seeing the same bookshelf every once ina 
while, and shelves seem to kind of bend and twist as if they're 
making us go in circles. We tried to get the help of a docent but it 
just sorta stood there and stared at us before it walked off into the 
shelves. There are still plenty of those spider things running around 
though, kind of creepy looking but they haven't bothered us yet. The 
shelves seem to contain increasingly random and useless 
information, possibly they can rearrange themselves so that 


someone will find the book most pertinent to them without going in 
that far. On another note, we met another adventurer like ourselves 
about a mile back, his skeleton was just laying there and he had 
some old book in his hands. Can't read it, looks to be Dutch, but it 
seems kind of foreboding. 


Ok I'll talk about that. We made friends with this SH chick back in 
the Atrium, okay, / made friends with this SH chick. She looked 
really familiar and then Walker recognized her as the sister of the 
whatsit that got us here. | struck up a conversation with her and she 
seems pretty cool, has the same abilities as her sister, though with 
longer range. She said she could switch me wherever | wanted if | 
just said where and- What the fuck is that?! 


Sound of retching 


Okay, get it out Walker. No | don't think less of you now. We can't 
control our body's gag reflex. You want me to explain it? Uhhh, this 
is Chaplain and basically we are looking at what looks like three 
corpses, except, not corpses? Uh, some of their skin is missing in 
places and you can sorta see inside of them, which is pretty gross 
considering | can't recognize any of the organs and there is this 
greenish stuff just everywhere. They seem to be rooted to the floor 
by some weird artery and god the smell is awful, smells like the 
boy's locker room where someone just sprayed Axe everywhere. 
Two of em are growing extra limbs and this really muscular one's 
hand has become this cage thing that glows intermittently. 


Yeah take your photos let's keep moving, | don't wanna stay here 
any longer. 


Anyways... | guess that just about wraps it up, tomorrow we'll turn 
back if we don't reach the edge. | don't think it would be smart to 
continue after that, hopefully The Library isn't trying to send us a 
message with those bodies or anything. 


Chaplain out.
