 SCP-087 is an unlit platform staircase. Stairs descend on a 38 degree angle for 13 steps, before reaching a semi-circular platform of approximately 3 meters in diameter. Lighting sources brighter than 75 watts have shown to be ineffective, as SCP-087 seems to absorb excess light. Subjects report and audio recordings confirm the distressed vocalizations from what is presumed to be a child between the ages of 1 and 1. The source of the distress calls is estimated to be located approximately 200 meters below the initial platform. However, any attempts to descend the staircase have failed to bring subjects closer to the source.
