We'd like to announce that from this point forward in the show, the role of Dr. Harley will be played by Logan Laidlaw. Thank you for your patience and support through our hiatus. We are so excited to be bringing you this story. We'd like to announce. We'd like to announce. We'd like to be bringing you this story. We'd like to say. We'd like to be bringing you this story. We'd like to be. We'd like again. Enjoy the show. Everybody stay calm. A D-Class rigged, a bunch of dash ones, and they've all gone off at once. I'm trying to get people to tell me what's going on, but we've got different effects in different places. Don't panic. I'm sure we'll be getting

word from flying very soon. It's just cold. We can survive coal. Who has the smallest office? Okay, great. Everybody pile in. I think I have a couple of blankets in my office. I'm sure. I'm sure they're dealing with

that there are, there are worse things that could happen to the site than it freezing. Why is it's so damn hot in here? Who has some information on what's going on with the temperature control? The thermostat says 68, but I have a mercury thermometer that's reading 109. I'm blocked out in floors, B-H-A-E-B-F, I repeat, I have no cameras on three-floors. Can we get somebody to do something about the blackouts? The last thing we need is even more dashed ones going off during... Hello?

Can we do something about the Vine Monster that just phased through the fucking Whoa. There's also a dash two? Can we get someone to do something about that? Anybody got a flame thrower or something? What the hell do you mean? It's hell-credited. Okay, there isn't anybody answering from Upper Management's channel, but I'm sure they're just talking to other people.

It's fine. They will get to us eventually. Reduced gravity in Wings BF1 through BF3, I repeat. Reduced Gravity in Wings BF1 through BF3. Yeah, that's great and everything, but it's kind of hard to do any direct. when I don't know what's going on. Item number SCP 6320. Object class Keeter.

Special containment procedures revised. SCP-6320's activity is to be monitored by Site 107 personnel from within the associated extra-dimensional space. All instances of SCP-6320-1 are to be broken before completion by any and all personnel available. Should an instance of SCP 6320-1 be completed, the location must be reported to the containment department and any resulting secondary effects dealt with accordingly.

Footnote, see a log of recorded wildcard effects. Description, SCP 6320 is an extra-dimensional rift resembling a mineral deposit vein, located at the bottom of a disused copper mine in Eureka County, Nevada. The designation SCP 6320 also refers to the extra-dimensional pocket universe associated with and assumably within the anomaly. SCP-6320's primary observable effect is self-replication through the movement of liquid or loose particulate matters such as dirt, crumbs, or dust, within a 15-meter radius. Completion in a copy of the object's shape results in the disappearance of the matter used. Direct physical contact of any object or creature within SCP-63020 results in disappearance as well.

It is now assumed that materials, objects, and creatures vanished upon contact with SCP-6320 have been transported into the anomalies associated sub-dimension. The anomalies' effects change drastically, however, when experienced from within the aforementioned sub-dimension. Within SCP 632's pocket dimension, the anomaly's abilities have, increased in both amount and aggression compared to outside. The previously observed area of effect of 15 meters becomes void. SCP 6320's effects observed in all available areas. The anomaly continues self-replication via similar methods, using not only loose particulate matter and liquids, but additional avenues as well. Such new methods include plant matter, structural damage to

objects such as water stains or cracks, and hand-created images such as as drawings, scratches, or object arrangements. These replications are hereby known as instances of SCP 6320-1. Should a dash 1 be completed successfully, the instance becomes a nearly perfect copy of the original anomaly in all aspects excluding size. The completion of such instances also results in unpredictable environmental effects on the surrounding area, including . 2 instances are creatures created by SCP-6320's effects.

It is currently theorized that dash-2 instances are caused by the formation of a dash-1 using biological materials from a still-living creature, like the branches of a plant or the web of a spider. Instances of SCP-6320 can be halted with relative ease if personnel employs situational awareness and stay alert to their surroundings. In addition to the creation of dash-1 and dash-2-influences, instances. SCP-6320 exhibits a memetic effect that causes... Addendum. Investigations into cyclical nature of SCP-320's sub-dimension pending, following incident...

No, no, it'll be fine. I'm just, I'm going out to see if... My signal will be any better out there. Addendum. Investigation into the creation of anamorphic-1 instances as created by multiple individuals pending. Respond. Respond. I can't see them. I can't see them. I can't see. I can't see them. I can't see... Identity. Investigation into unexplained use of Scranton reality anchor within site 107. Officer!

Officer! I found the flying monster! I found the Destinedum. Investigation into effects of direct physical contact with the anomaly pending. No, I can't advise. I can't advise! I don't know what to tell you to do. Error. Harley, do you have anything? Any information? Error.

Error. Are you by yourself? Is your space heater still? Error. Harley, Agent Love isn't responding. Error. I'm gonna need that update. Something happened to love. I can't really use some help with them. I don't understand.

Holy shit, I don't. I don't know what to do. Dr. Klein? I, uh, ran here. I can see that. You, uh, you aren't answering your walkie. I, I took the battery out. Why?

It was getting a lot of interference. Why are you here? Aren't there bigger things that you should... I can't. Why can't you? Can you do it? Wait, do what? Tell everybody what to do.

I can't. I can't do it. I... You like talking, right? Can you talk to them? I am vastly underqualified for... What if I order you? That would be an abuse of power.

Please? No. Please. Look, I'm gonna resign or something. I know I'm a terrible director. I just need you to do me this one. Then be a better one. Excuse me?

Then stop being a terrible site director and be a good one instead. I don't know what to do about... Neither do any of us. None of us know what to do. We're in uncharted territory. There's no scripted plan for how to deal with this, with any of it. There's no right answer. So there's kind of no wrong one either.

What about the answer where the call I make gets people killed? You're qualified for this. Shao wouldn't have let you do this if you weren't. And God, they don't even let me in the meetings. So I'm definitely not cut out to. I'm sorry, they don't let you in the meetings. I'm sorry. I don't need you to apologize.

I need you to tell me what to do. I need you to be my director. All right. So what do we do? We, we need to brief everybody. We need to brief everybody on everything that's happening. So we have a dash two to kill. A couple people have said it's jumping into walls and the disappearing.

Teleportation or something. We have a couple power outages in a few places. So we need to get light down there. Botany's wing. Structive freezing temperatures. So we need to evacuate any plants we can get ASAP. Upper management offices have jumped at really high temperatures. But if we can get all the people out,

then it doesn't have to be a high priority. And low gravity down by engineering. we're risking damage to servers and life support equipment that can make it a lot harder to deal with all that other stuff. Uh, uh, you know a lot about how the departments function. Socially, I mean. Yes, I do.

Dispatch some people. Can I use the site com? What do you think? We're, we're okay. No, we're okay. We, they, they said to stand by. Attention, site 107. There is a dash two. roaming the building. It can teleport apparently. I'm sorry, there's a what roaming the building?

Containment department, get on securities radio channel, and await messages from surveillance regarding the current whereabouts of the instance. Fire seems to work best for these things. Well, I... I thought everywhere was cold. Medical? Your job should be obvious here, I feel. All right, yeah, let's go. Let's go, I guess. Yeah. Secondly, we've lost power in several areas of the site. Hurley?

Psychology, botany, maintenance. lights and start sweeping the blacked out areas for unseemly activity. Tune your radios to security station for updates. Mr. Hodges, better break out those big-ass LED lamps. Containment, I have eyes on several victims of the dash two over... Third, gravity has lowered in wings BF1 through BF3. The servers and some of the life support equipment are in jeopardy as a result, and we need people on the BF floor to literally go and hold stuff down.

All members of security and engineering who participated in that very poorly attended and very overly enthusiastic office touch football game last year, please report to Wing VF1 to pin some very large metal equipment to the floor. Fourth, we've had extreme temperature changes in Wings AB2 and AD4, most notably including the greenhouse. We need to remove any and all plants from the greenhouse before more can freeze. Anything endangered by the heat in AB2 can be removed after botany has been cleared out. Were you assigning to do that? Oh, I put the strongest people in other places, didn't I? You should have written this down. Wait.

I've got it. Research and records department. Whoever gets the most plants out of the greenhouse the fastest is the better department and has eternal bragging rights until the end of time. Okay, is that everything? Did I cover everything? Yeah, I think you did. How long until the next reset, hypothetically?

Not exactly sure, but we're getting real close. We can make it, right? I don't know. What do you think? I think... I think we can make it. Episode 12 was written by Anna McGuire and Jackson McMurray and produced by Anna McGuire. The voice of Harley is Logan Laidlaw.
