RS-8871 - “Flesh Crawler”

RS-8871, AKA "Flesh Crawler" or "Jeffery", is a hostile and class Research Subject created by Site Alpha Researchers. RS-8871 was a former Security Class-2 Foundation Personnel with the name "Jeffrey █████"  before he was involved in a Site-Alpha experiment. Present day, Jeffery is a massive spider-like creature with 4 legs, 6 arms, 7 eyes, and a proboscis located below its head. RS-8871 also has a brown fabric jacket that was ripped during his transformation; leaving only a small part of it behind. 
=== Abilities ===
RS-8871 is a creature that has the ability to crawl on any surface, possibly due to the fleshy substance on its body that allows it to stick to surfaces. The creature has a long tongue which it uses to drag people and anomalies towards itself. Once it has captured them, RS-8871 holds them and then stabs its huge proboscis into the person to drain their blood. It was also observed that RS-8871 drools an acidic but harmless substance. This acidic substance go break through any door after enough time.
=== Fears ===
RS-8871 has an immense fear of light and heat. RS-8871 will only travel and kill in the dark. This might include caves, ceilings, and other poorly lit areas. This also means that RS-8871 fears flamethrowers and bullets, as they are too bright, loud, and hot. It should also be noted that RS-8871 has displayed strong hate for the word "Jeffery".
=== Flesh Crawler Tunnels ===
The Flesh Crawler Tunnels, also known as "Jeffery Tunnels", is a series of caves mostly used by RS-8871 to move around. This cave system spans the entire area of the installation, from inside RS-8871's chamber to Site PHI, Site Omicron, Site Epsilon, manholes, and the highway. The tunnels are situated at the top of the map, offering RS-8871 a darker environment to stay hidden. At each location, a large opening exists where RS-8871 uses its tongue to attack its prey. CDs also use these tunnels for similar purposes. To enter the Flesh Crawler Tunnels, you must access it through the manholes located near the center of the map.
== Containment ==
RS-8871 lives and spawns within the flesh crawler tunnels. Before the Destruction of Site Epsilon, RS-8871 was contained in an ACZ chamber. But after Site Epsilon was destroyed it moved back to its preferred home, the flesh crawler tunnels. No attempt to recontain it was made because of its light threat, and it was even deemed helpful to the Foundation by killing rouge Class-Ds. FP are permanently advised to avoid dark areas just in case. The exact spawn location of RS-8871 is unknown.
== Testing ==
RS-8871 is a poorly understood RS in terms of research. To test on RS-8871 you require the ScD rank of "Researcher", a C-9 escort, follow the RS-8871 Handbook, and ScD command permission. It is highly recommended to bring multiple CDs - so they don't die immediately. When transferring into the cell, at least one blast door should always be sealed shut, to prevent breaches. When dealing with RS-8871, a pepper spray is preferred to be equipped, to be utilized in self-defense. The pepper spray may be bought from the vendor. 
* RS-8871 is known to be extremely hostile to everyone in sight. It has never shown any signs of being of a higher intelligence.
* RS-8871 can not talk, meaning it can not be interviewed.
* Cross-tests are rarely done.
* Portable cameras or lights are suggested for testing.
* Spectators must be SC-2+
=== Procedure ===
* A drone will be required to locate RS-8871 within the caves. It is important to note how Jeffery may be aggressive towards these drones.
* The Class-Ds must be briefed outside of the cave system, to avoid unexpected attacks. 
* A way to defend against RS-8871, is preferred. (eg. Flashlights, pepper spray, etc.)
* The Crimson-9 present is required to have a flamethrower equipped, to protect your test from an incoming attack.
* Tests with high risk may utilize SCP-1048-F as a guaranteed way to defend against RS-8871. This goes without saying, but Magma should be rewarded afterwards. 
* Move within the caves alongside your Crimson-9 escort, and coordinate moves with them, to be safe within the caves.
Preferably, luring him within an open space within the caves would be the best course of action, through the usage of firearms.
== Recontainment Protocols ==
If RS-8871 breaches its containment chamber, Red Heron should not be called. Instead, Yellow Ember or Blue Sky should be engaged. This is because RS-8871 is not an extremely dangerous entity, and it is sufficient for MTF to instruct FP to avoid dark areas, which will ensure their safety.
However, if RS-8871 breaches its containment chamber, MTF and any SD they require should be deployed to its location immediately. RS-8871 is a combative entity that can be hurt, and heavy weaponry such as flamethrowers, grenades, and RPGs should be used against it. Once RS-8871 has returned to its containment chamber, it should be considered recontained.
