[SCP-017, the "Shadow Person"]
[Object Class: Keter]
[Description: SCP-017 is a humanoid figure approximately 80 centimeters in height, anatomically similar to a small child, but with no discernible identifying features. SCP-017 seems to be composed of a shadowy, smoke-like shroud. No attempt to find any object beneath the shroud has been successful, but the possibility has not been ruled out.
SCP-017's reaction to shadows cast upon it is immediate and swift. SCP-017 leaps at the object casting the shadow and completely envelops it in its shroud, after which it returns to its normal size, leaving no trace of the object behind.]
Compared with the files I have seen before, the file of SCP-017 is very brief. However, after watching it, the group felt a sense of creepiness.
"My God, as long as a shadow touches it, it will start to devour it?"
"Very scary!"
The group was in disbelief, and at the same time, many thoughts began to emerge unconsciously in their minds! For example, what if the shadow of a building is covering it? Or the shadow of a mountain? Will it just swallow an entire mountain? If it can be devoured, then that is terrible.
[ ===== ]
It's not just Kiwo and the others; the viewers in the stream were also stunned by the file on the "Shadow Person." At this moment, viewers were all sending chat messages:
"Damn! The 'Shadow Person' is so powerful."
"As long as there is a shadow covering it, it will swallow the source of the shadow. This thing has the possibility of destroying the world, in theory!"
"What kind of crazy things are in the Foundation? My God..."
"Ah, I'm so excited! I want to see what the 'Shadow Person' looks like!"
[ ===== ]
In the game, facing the shocked teammates, Brit exhaled slightly. Then he said in a serious tone, "This 'Shadow Person' is dangerous. However, if we want to move forward, we may have to find a way to pass through its Containment Chamber. After all, there is no way in other directions."
There are three paths in total: one is the way they came, one is the checkpoint in the office area, and the other is the Containment Chamber of the 'Shadow Person.' They have no choice; they can only find a way to pass through the Containment Chamber.
Thinking of this, the group looked around the room again. First of all, in this room, in addition to a metal door that they came in, there is also a metal door that needs to be swiped on the far right. Brit walked over to it and found that a Level 3 Keycard cannot be swiped, which means their way is blocked.
"The game will not set a dead end for the player; there must be clues or items here," Brit frowned and said.
The others nodded in acknowledgment. There must be some hidden clue to discover, as the game would not set a dead end. Then, the group dispersed and searched the entire room.
After a while, Plumbella's surprised voice came out, "Everyone, come quickly; this computer seems to be a surveillance camera. I pressed it, and it turned on!"
The other four were overjoyed. They gathered around Plumbella, and in front was a desk with a computer on it. The computer screen was now on; it looked like a surveillance screen inside.
"Is this a picture of the Containment Chamber?"
"Damn it! This is the 'Shadow Person'?"
"Mom! It feels so scary!"
The others exclaimed.
On the computer screen in front of them, what was displayed was the real-time monitoring screen of the 'Shadow Person' Containment Chamber. Inside the huge room, there was a suspended glass cage. Inside the glass cage, there was a black smoke screen. The shadow looked like a child, and it was squirming slightly at the moment.
It seemed to have noticed something; the child's head seemed to lift, looking at the monitoring probe. However, it was covered with a black smoke screen as a whole, so the group couldn't see its eyes. Of course, it doesn't necessarily have such a thing as "eyes."
After seeing it "staring" at the surveillance camera, the group felt nervous for a moment. That feeling was as if people like themselves were being watched by the "Shadow Person" through the screen. Very scary!
"Wow... so scary... I'm getting goosebumps..."
"Me too..."
Kiwo and Plumbella hid back, fear evident in their eyes. Brit, Vale, and RT were also a little scared. After all, the "Shadow Person" doesn't look big, but its file description is really scary.
From the surveillance screen, it can be seen that the 'Shadow Person' Containment Chamber is full of lights. The ceiling, the floor, everything, is all aimed at the glass cage in the middle, letting the 'Shadow Person' surroundings be illuminated by light at 360 degrees without dead ends. It can be seen that the Foundation attaches great importance to the 'Shadow Person'; it is probably very troublesome to contain it.
Looking at the computer screen, Brit exhaled.
"Let's look for it again! There must be a way to pass. Of course, if it doesn't work, let's go back to the original path!" Brit turned around and looked around the room.
The others also dispersed, searching for any possible clues and items to move forward. After a while, RT shouted in surprise again, "Hurry up!"
He found a piece of paper from the filing cabinet and waved it at the others; the group hurriedly surrounded him. After seeing that piece of paper, Brit and Vale felt a sense of familiarity.
"This thing... is similar to the structure diagram of the containment area of that zombie epidemic doctor..." Vale frowned and said.
Brit nodded, "Yes, this should also be the structural diagram of the 'Shadow Person' Containment Chamber."
The paper held by RT is [SCP-017 Containment Chamber Design Scheme]. It includes "Containment Chamber," "Power Control Room," "Passage," and so on.
"I see! The game probably wants us to clear the level according to the structure diagram!" Brit's eyes lit up.
He and Vale once experienced similar things in the Containment Chamber of SCP-049. They used the structure diagram of SCP-049's Containment Chamber to find the power control point, turn on the lights, activate the elevator, and escape. Of course, they didn't escape in the end. Looking at it now, the structure diagram of the 'Shadow Person' Containment Chamber most likely serves the same purpose.
"Quickly write down the structure diagram! I guess something will happen soon!" Brit quickly shouted.
Just as his voice stopped, suddenly, the whole room started shaking.
