Mobley: Containment update log number one.
Mobley: Presently, I don't think any words describe our situation better than "not ideal." We have assumed that thirty-to-forty kilometers is the maximum distance the effect can spread as it does not seem like the entity can become much more distressed. Bearing that in mind, I don't think any change in location for a more secure Veil should be considered at this time.
Mobley: Concerning the civilians trapped within SCP-6024-01: when we removed the physical form of SCP-6024 from Cape May, the victims were immediately released and have since been given amnestic treatment.
Mobley: Unfortunately, this caused SCP-6024 to become completely alone within the dimension. To counter this, we have given some of the more charismatic onsite employees the opportunity to take rotations within SCP-6024-01 and keep the entity in a decent mood so as to not allow it to regress and ruin the minimal progress made thus far.
Mobley: Hey Doctor Beunchi, come over here. Do you have anything to add to the log before I shut it off?
Beunchi: Have you said anything about moving forward?
Mobley: I have not.
Beunchi: Alright, I'll take over on that bit and then we can wrap up the log.
(
Doctor Mobley moves aside and allows Doctor Beunchi to bend down in front of the computer.)
Beunchi: The current long-term goal for this project is to comfortably fit SCP-6024 into a Site 88 containment chamber, because the Foundation considers it impractical to have this warehouse and several others in the vicinity engulfed by anomalous effects. As you can imagine, that day is most likely quite far off.
Beunchi: But our biggest upcoming event involves me slogging through paperwork in order for a civilian to see her partner again. Though we all seem to agree, this is by-far the easiest solution besides outright destruction.
Beunchi: God knows that would certainly be simpler.

Doctor Beunchi places his hand onto the keyboard and the recording ends.)

Mobley: Containment update log number two.
Mobley: I was ecstatic while reading the results of our testing, and I feel even better announcing them now. It was all a humongous success, the range actually dropped to zero for several minutes before staying steady under one-hundred meters.
Mobley: A crew was quickly called in and constructed ad hoc quarters for Mrs. Greene to stay in, appropriately situated right next to SCP-6024's chamber.
Mobley: She's still a little bit apprehensive of the Foundation, though I believe that to be perfectly understandable and will change given some time. We even learned that they used to write poetry together; facilitating their hobbies, I'm sure, will be an easy additional success.
Mobley: We still have a ways to go until our goal, but I don't think I am remiss in being at the very least a little excited at this milestone.
Mobley: Of course, with all this success, I
would be remiss if I didn't mention some of our current shortcomings. Most notably of which is the fact that Mrs. Greene, for the benefit of her health, cannot be installed within SCP-6024-01 permanently, or else we may lose our only chance at effective containment.
Mobley: I think it all more-or-less boils down to the "what-if" scenarios: what if we lose Amanda Greene? Both she and the anomaly are exceedingly old and frail. I'd go so far as to say SCP-6024 is in a worse state than when it arrived, but I don't think I'm qualified to state that opinion on something barely noticeable.
(
Doctor Mobley briefly sighs.)
Mobley: Assuming that nothing goes horribly wrong, I think that we are at least on the right track.

Incident Report
Incident Severity Level: Yellow
Active Lead Researcher: Adam Harold Beunchi
While commencing scheduled cleaning of SCP-6024, a nurse assigned to the task inadvertently removed the subject's left index finger. Investigation into the severing revealed that the physical form of SCP-6024 is deteriorating. The cause of this rapid decline in condition is currently subject to intense scrutiny.
For employee safety, personnel are no longer permitted to sleep within SCP-6024's range. Amanda Greene has been granted special access in order to extend effective containment of the anomaly. SCP-6024 is not to be informed of its affliction but is to be routinely questioned about its well-being.
The entity has begun to cease life-function and is beyond treatment. By her own request, and through unanimous vote, Amanda Greene will remain within SCP-6024-01. Safety concerns have been voiced and summarily dismissed on account of Mrs. Greene's willingness.

(
Doctor Mobley appears disheveled and settles into a chair.)
Mobley: They both passed away this morning at the exact same time, though I suppose we don't really know if just the bodies died or their minds went with it.
Mobley: Evidently the anomaly was linked to it, as the effect appears to have dissipated completely.
(
Doctor Mobley chuckles softly.)
Mobley: It looks like Beunchi was right about the easiest solution after all.
Mobley: Oh, and we figured out what went wrong. A colleague wrote the first law of thermodynamics on our whiteboard and it suddenly clicked.
Mobley: The reality transfer occurring every time someone entered the dimension was so insignificant that nobody really stopped to consider where the energy to do so came from.
Mobley: Adam and I fucking killed him with our incompetence, or perhaps we didn't, and now I'm left to wonder if eternity in a void is better than dying.
Mobley: I'll rewrite the classification tomorrow, I can't afford anymore thought to this right now.
