 Item No. SCP-2385 Object Class Keter Previously Euclid Special Containment Procedures Observation Site-2385 has been established around the anomaly, and the quarry in which it was discovered has been purchased by the Foundation. An anti-chamber has been instructed around SCP-2385's entrance. The quarry in the SCP-2385 beyond the first 10 meters is prohibited. Instances of SCP-2385-1 either stray towards or are birthed near the entryway are to be lured into the anti-chamber. Specimen of musk muskulus are to be utilized for this purpose. The instance is to be tranquilized and relocated to a containment pen. Description SCP-2385 is a subterranean network composed of undifferentiated human tissue. The matter is bioluminescent, emitting a constant 0.003 lumen. The tunnels that make up the structure wind and interlock, forming a multi-cursor maze. SCP-2385 is a single entrance point. Attempts to either access or assess SCP-2385 from the outside via tunneling and ground penetrating radar respectively have been met with failure. Due to this, the true size of SCP-2385 is unknown. Everything of the interior has also proven difficult as its internal topography fluctuates sporadically. New paths will open into walls while other sections will close off. SCP-2385-1 and 2 are vermaform lifeforms, which periodically grow within SCP-2385. SCP-2385-1 and 2 specimens typically range between 1 and 4 meters in length, with an average weight of 250 kg. They possess humanoid heads which are connected to a muscular tail by a fatty midsection. SCP-2385-1 will violently assault anything they perceive to move, including each other. SCP-2385-1 will constrict incapacitated prey prior to consuming smaller organisms and other SCP-2385-1 hull. SCP-2385-1 will attempt to penetrate larger prey and consume them from within. A pair of pharyngeal jaws is used to manipulate prey items into the gullet. Instances will wonder SCP-2385 with no apparent direction and seem to be solely motivated by hunger. Research on specimens and captivity have revealed that they do not require sustenance, so the reason for this behavior is unknown. SCP-2385-2 instances are typically larger than their –-1 counterparts, and are identifiable by a fibrous growth over their eyes. SCP-2385-2 are completely docile and have never been observed feeding. They will converge with one another and seem to travel through SCP-2385 with intent. In SCP-2385-1, October 1, 2003, D-02-894 was selected to ascertain the function of the anomaly and to determine whether manned explorations were feasible. D-02-894 was equipped with a shoulder-mounted camera, one-week supply of rations, one Ruger-LC-9 as well as several reserve magazines, a machete. Little information was gleaned as D-02-894 was struck by an instance of SCP-2385-1 and lost his camera 10 minutes into the exploration. Contact was lost, and D-02-894 was presumed dead. Exploration SCP-2385-2 December 21, 2003 Forward, a remote-controlled drone A-47 was sent into SCP-2385. Exploration Video Log Transcript Begin Log One minute. The camera shakes as A-47 navigates the terrain. After 10 meters, the path spirals clockwise, leading to an intersection. To the left, four SCP-2385-1 are engaging each other in combat, while another two lie motionless. A-47 is directed down the right path. Eight minutes. A-47 continues down the path, which at this point should place the drone back within observational Site-2385. Over a dozen unborn SCP-2385-1 and D-02 are growing throughout this hall. See attached photo, and A-47 is maneuvered around them. Nineteen minutes. An instance of SCP-2385-1 is laying to the side of the tunnel, and is ingesting another instance. It lashes out when the drone draws near. They cannot fully ambulate due to its feeding. Twenty-four minutes. Three fighting SCP-2385-1 block further progress. A-47 directed the turn around. The path A-47 have been traveling down can be seen to end abruptly. With no further options, A-47 continues towards the instances. Twenty-six minutes. The largest of the instances is killed. Its head and tail are swallowed by the remaining SCP-2385-1, which begin to manipulate down their throats. A-47 is able to continue unimpeded. Twenty-nine minutes. An SCP-2385-1 instance, which had been spotted from afar growing from the ceiling, detaches as A-47 passes beneath it. The instance attacks A-47, rendering it immobile after several strikes. Thirty-one minutes. The instance wraps around A-47 and attempts to consume it. Forty-three minutes. The instance gives up and leaves the area. Nine hours, thirty-two minutes. The wall to A-47's left opens up, and two SCP-2385-2 exit. One instance approaches A-47, while the other one prods the wall to the right, which opens as well. D-02894 emerges from the tunnel to A-47's left, brandishing his machete. Both instances exit through the new tunnel, followed by D-02894. Ten hours, three minutes. A-47 runs out of battery. End log. Exploration SCP-2385-3, February 6, 2004. Forward, an SCP-2385-2 specimen was taken from Foundation captivity, henceforth Subject Alpha, and anesthesized. Where a micro-camera was surgically implanted, S-A was placed within SCP-2385. Five minutes to twenty-one minutes. S-A wakes up and looks around before heading straight. It traverses SCP-2385 uneventfully for a few minutes, before coming across an open area filled with fetal SCP-2385-1 instances. S-A stops at several, and can be seen rubbing its face against theirs. An instance thrashes and snaps at S-A, though the bulk of its mass is still embedded within SCP-2385, restricting its movements. Thirty-nine minutes to forty-five minutes. The path splits out into three different tunnels. S-A selects a path and tries to continue, though it is apparently frightened by two SCP-2385-1 instances engaging in combat. Another can be briefly seen attempting to feed on a fetal instance growing from the ground. S-A flees and selects another path. One hour forty-seven minutes. A nearby wall opens up and two SCP-2385-2 instances exit. Dash 2B dash 2C and begin to travel the way S-A came from. S-A follows suit. Three hours twenty-two minutes to five hours thirty-one minutes. The group encounters a lone SCP-2385-1, which attacks dash 2C. Dash 2B wraps around and physically restrains it. For the next two hours, the group takes turns nuzzling the SCP-2385-1 instance. Notably, it develops the fibrous growth characteristics of SCP-2385-2 instances over its eyes. Afterwards is released and becomes docile, hence force dash 2D. Five hours thirty-three minutes to twelve hours forty-two minutes. The group continues through SCP-2385. At various points, they are observed prodding the walls of SCP-2385 to produce new paths. At eleven hours fifteen minutes, SCP-2385 shifts and encloses the group. Dash 2D and dash 2B feel about the walls, eventually producing an alternate route. At this point, they confront an SCP-2385-1 instance, blocking further progress. Dash 2B and dash 2C are observed to nuzzle each other prior to the dash 2B charging the SCP-2385-1 instance. The group crawls over and around the instance as it consumes dash 2B. Dash 2C remains behind. Twenty-seven hours twenty-one minutes. Dash 2B is ambushed from a side tunnel. The larger instance drags it around the bend and out of sight, and the opening seals shut. Thirty-three hours fifty-seven minutes to thirty-four hours and eighteen minutes. S.A. encounters an SCP-2385-1 instance, which chases it throughout SCP-2385. S.A. selects a path which terminates after several meters, trapping it. S.A. does not defend itself as the instance attacks and subdues S.A. and begins to feed on it. At thirty-four hours eleven minutes, a male voice can be heard shouting prior to D-02894 coming into view. He kills the instance with machete and kneels down next to S.A. S.A. S.A. S.A. S.A. S.A.

Thirty-four hours, forty-six minutes, S.A. projects the sphere and pushes its way inside. Thirty-four hours, forty-seven minutes, unknown. Personnel that viewed the live feed were found to be incapable of describing what they witnessed. Subsequent playbacks terminate at thirty-four hours and forty-six minutes. Addendum, SCP-2385-A. On the day of Exploration 3's conclusion, Maya █████ of Elgin, Illinois was admitted to the local hospital, complaining of abdominal pains and suffering vaginal bleeding. An emergency surgery was performed upon the discovery of a foreign object lodged within her uterus, which was found to be a micro-camera. Agent Nakamura was dispatched to investigate. Nakamura was able to confirm that the item's serial number matched the one implanted within S.A. and confiscated it. Several articles covering the event hyperbole were issued through Foundation-owned Bizarre News Publications. Object reclassed as Keter.
