Dr. Miranda: D-30048, are you ready to begin?

(D-30048 hesitates a few seconds, then answers).

D-30048: Yes.

Dr. Miranda: Then proceed. Please enter SCP-087 - that door in front of you.

(D-30048 complies, stopping at the top of the first flight of stairs.)

D-30048: So, um, what now?

Dr. Miranda: You may now draw your firearm and load it. I would also suggest connecting your flashlight to it.

(D-30048 complies)

Dr. Miranda: Good. Now, simply start descending the staircase. Place an adhesive light on the railing of every tenth landing. And go slowly - I don’t want you to miss anything.

(D-30048 complies with the above instructions.)

(Time skip)

(D-30048 has just attached an adhesive light to the railing on the 40th landing when footsteps from above become audible.)

D-30048: (Looks up) Um... did you guys send somebody down after me? I hear footsteps.

Dr. Miranda: No, I didn’t. Check it out.

(D-30048 holds up his handgun and starts back up the stairway.)

(The footsteps stop, replaced by quiet giggling. D-30048 stops.)

D-30048: Hey, who’s there?! (Pause). Look, stop trying to freak me out!

(The giggling stops, replaced by a constant, unintelligible whispering.)

D-30048: (Grips gun tighter, takes off safety.) You better stop or I’m going to f### you up!

(Whispering continues.)

D-30048: That’s it! I’m coming up there! (D-30048 starts up the stairs at a fast pace.)

Dr. Miranda: D-30048, be careful...

(D-30048 reaches the 30th landing, with an attached adhesive light, without encountering any further sounds. No cause for the noises is apparent.)

D-30048: Look, Control, if you want to laugh at me about this, you’ve earned it. Enjoy it while you can, because when I get back up there-

(Security Agent M###, posted in the control room with Dr. Miranda, leans over the microphone.)

Agent M###: Subject D-30048, I strongly recommend that you stand down now, or we will activate the-

Dr. Miranda: That’s enough, both of you. This is just a misunderstanding. D-30048, please continue down the stairs.

D-30048: Whatever, Doc. (D-30048 continues down the stairs.)

(Time skip)

(D-30048 has just reached the 114th landing, and turns to descend to the 115th, then stops. A white entity, resembling the upper body of a humanoid, is sitting at the bottom of the flight of stairs.)

D-30048: Wait, what the Hell is that!?

(The entity reaches it’s arms forwards, and begins rapidly ascending the stairs.)

D-30048: S###! (D-30048 begins running back up the stairs, firing three shots over his shoulder.)

Dr. Miranda: Keep running! Run! Run! Run!

(D-30048 has just reached the 109th landing when he falls forwards, striking his head on the stone stairs.)

Dr. Miranda: D-30084, do you copy?

(No response.)

Dr. Miranda: D-30084, do you copy?

(An unseen force begins dragging D-30048 backwards, down the stairs.)

(Camera optical footage terminates).

Dr. Miranda: D-30048, can you hear me?

(An unintelligible growling noise is heard.)

(Camera audio footage starts distorting).

Dr. Miranda: (Switches channels to D-30048’s handheld radio.) D-30048, do you-
