Video starts as Namid enters the boat, fastening the provided safety belts and life jackets
Namid Maziar: These jackets are always too small. Why did the lady think I was an extra small?
A male voice is heard out of frame. The camera pans to a man of average height. The man is wearing a yellow striped suit, with brown dress pants. A watch is observed on his right wrist
Jack Bennet: Hey there, mind if I join ya?
A 2 second pause was recorded
Jack Bennet: Oh! Didn't mean to scare ya! I'm Jack, Jack Bennet.
Jack sticks his arm out, offering to shake. Namid obliges
Namid Maizar: Namid…
Jack Bennet: My apologies for the intrusion and scare. I'm the CEO of the company, not many get to see me.
Jack points to the frame of the camera fastened to Namids helmet
Jack Bennet: But with that GoPro, guess that's flying out the window, huh?
Jack chuckles, before his expression changes to solemnity
Jack Bennet: But then again, not many people come here anymore.

Jack Bennet: Alright, we ready to go?
The camera pans to a female Attendant, who is piloting the vessel. The name tag on the Attendants shirt reads 'Julie Bennet'
Julie Bennet: Ready!
Jack Bennet: Then let's go!
The camera captures the vessel lurching forward and climbing upwards to approximately 50 knots. The vessel travels closer to the waterfall before crashing through, entering SCP-6315 and into SCP-6315-1
Namid Maziar: Holy shit holy shit HOLY SHIIII-
Audio is unintelligible and distorted for 2 minutes due to screams emanating from Namid. The camera captures the vessel edging the side of SCP-6315-1, until it skims over the surface of SCP-6315 and skims down the side of the cave system. The camera shakes and lurches with tight corners and and steep drops. Multiple sources of light are seen throughout the cave system, and frame scrubbing reveals multiple pit stops constructed throughout. After 2 minutes, the vessel lurches to the left and exits the cave system, pulling to a stop in a calm ocean
Jack Bennet: Yes! This is what I'm talking about! Who would want to miss out on this? That rush of adrenaline is what makes it all worth it!
The camera pans to Jack, capturing the expression of joy on his face
Jack Bennet: Alright, let's head to the Creature Collection! We got some wonderful stuff in there! Once Namid here can get his head straight, I think he's a little out of it.
The camera pans to the side of the boat, the water shown to be a shade of purple, with unknown bio-luminescence material giving it the property of glowing
Jack Bennet: Oh yeah, you wondering about the water? Purple is it's natural colour, we're still testing to see if we can swim in it. If it passes the regulations, we'll have ourselves our own exotic pool. Without the big fish, of course!
Jack chuckles out of frame
[4 minutes of extraneous data removed for brevity]
The camera pans around the inside of SCP-6315-2, low lighting causing low visibility in the video feed. Editing in post reveals a large containment facility with an artificial river constructed within. On both sides of the river cages and enclosures for various species of animals are seen. It is noted that these species of animals were originally found in earlier iterations of the attraction, and therefore were not available to the public. After 30 seconds, the camera pans and focuses on a large, malformed mammal. A large horn protrudes from the animals snout. Fur covers all parts of the animal with the exception of the tail, which is seen to be made of bone. The fur is seen to stand on end when the vessel nears. The animal snarls.
Jack Bennet: Boari rattus, the horned rat. That thing can tear anyone apart in mere seconds, and is highly aggressive to boot. Could tear apart a grown man in seconds.
The camera turns to Jacks face, which has contorted into a stretched smile
Jack Bennet: And I could release it right now. It would be fun to try and not get eaten, wouldn't it?
After a 4 second pause, Jack begins to laugh, loud enough to distort audio for 9 seconds
Jack Bennet: Okay, okay, I'm not that cruel! That's just a part of the show. We wanted to make it more thrilling, so we found some more dangerous animals, some even from the early days! You know what it's like, I bet you've seen your fair share of deadly and unexplained things.
An uncomfortable, intelligible murmur is heard from Namid
Jack Bennet: That's the spirit! Julie, my darling, let's speed things up! Give Namid something he'll never forget!
The camera captures the vessel powering and lurching to a speed of 65 knots. The noise of the engines distort audio for 9 minutes. The sudden change from darkness to bright sunlight causes video feed to become destabilized for 8 seconds due to overexposure of the lens. SCP-6315-3 is observed to be navigated through. Stabilization of the video in post calculated the vessel and persons on board were experiencing forces of 5-7 Gs
[45 seconds of extraneous data removed for brevity]
The camera pans to Julie Bennet. The vessel slows down to a complete stop, near the presumed place where Bennet described a large carnivorous fish breaching the water and chasing the vessel.
Namid Maizer: Wait, aren't we meant to run from something?
Jack Bennet: Hm? Run from what?
Namid Maizer: Wasn't there a fish? I saw them in the adverts!
The camera captures surprise from Jack, before an expression of anger, then neutral appear. Jack unbuckles his safety belt and stands up.
Jack Bennet: Well, we were going to have a fun trip where a giant fish chases us back to the Tulip Rocks. But, simply, we ran out of budget. And it's funny you should say that, while I like to please my guests the best I can, I'm going to make an exception just this once.
Bennet leans into the camera
Jack Bennet: You are no guest of mine.
Namid immediately stands and Jack snatches Namids left arm, twisting and pinning it to his back. The camera is twisted away from Jack, facing the river mouth of SCP-6315-3
Jack Bennet: Don't push your luck, especially with a gun to your head.
Sounds of a struggle are heard for approximately 15 seconds, the camera shaking and obscuring the view of the struggle. After 20 seconds, the camera is twisted to face Jack. Bruises can be seen on his face and wrists, the watch cracked.
Jack Bennet: Ah…ahh…
Jacks recomposes himself, and his expression turns to remorse. Jack bends down and stares into the camera
Jack Bennet: I wish I could say sorry about all this. But, I can't, not after what you did. You know who you are. You thought I was an idiot? You thought you could destroy everything I built?
Jack reaches towards the camera and removes it from the helmet. The camera is held at a 45 degree angle, aiming at Jack and Namid, who is observed to be restrained with safety belts
Jack Bennet: I'm not mad about all of it. Well, I am, but I've tucked those feelings away, gotta focus on the now instead of the past. I can, however, feel other things. Remorse, guilt for what I'm doing and what I am going to do, and even the feeling of vengeance. But, I know that's not what you want from me. You'd rather have me go on and on about how I'm gonna get my revenge and how much I'm gonna kill all of you.
The camera is turned and pointed to Julie Bennet
Jack Bennet: Hey darling, keep an eye on Namid. And if he tries to move or escape, shoot.
Julie Bennet: You got it, sweetie.
Jack hands the firearm to Julie, and takes her position as pilot of the vessel. The camera is placed and affixed onto a railing. Jack is in the centre of the frame, the pilots chair obscuring the background.
Jack Bennet: I'm going to be real with you. You've hurt me enough already. I've had to cut staff shifts, I slashed my salary by half to keep my company afloat. I didn't want any of this. I didn't want to wage a war against you. I didn't want to take such drastic measures against a malicious entity.
A 5 second pause was recorded
Jack Bennet: But, you forced my hand. After you fucked with my livelihood. You could have just stopped at the advertisements, but you didn't. Our stock prices plummeted, our audience went down from 15,000 a year to 10. We were crashing into the ground, and I was the one piloting it. You put me under so much stress, you made my life hell for over eight months. Eight fucking months of hell. Do you know what that feels like? You don't, obviously. None of you are in my shoes, nor are you ever going to be. This is just normal to you. Snuff a life here, ruin one there. Make a front company, boil the competition till they fucking explode! It's normal to you, and that's the fucked up thing! In the real world, this isn't normal. Companies just don't commit corporate espionage whenever they fucking feel like it, and it's disgusting that you decided to resort to shit like this.
Jack pauses and takes a deep breath. A gunshot is heard off frame, and then footsteps.
Julie Bennet: He broke free.
Jack Bennet: Alright, that's okay. Just prep the body for now.
Julie nods and walks out of frame
Jack Bennet: Christ, I warned him. I fucking warned him. T-that's another thing about all of you. You never cease to give up. You just didn't stop at fucking me over, you decided to put an undercover fuckwit through this thing and think all would be hunky dory. And like, I know that you've sent others through here, I'm not stupid, I know what hidden cameras look like, I work in the fucking entertainment industry! You had dozens of people go through and I just smiled and waved. I've known you people for a while, it's not hard to see the same behaviours and mannerisms of people who do exciting stuff as a day job, I do it as well. But, things can go wrong. And what's gone wrong for you, is a direct result of what you did to me. I'm a compassionate and empathetic man, I was patient, I waited a full eight months to see what would happen, if you stopped. I was going to forgive you, and it would have been water under the bridge. But you didn't.
The camera is grasped by Jack, and is held at arm's length. Jacks expression is cold
Jack Bennet: After that, you don't deserve forgiveness.
The camera is tossed into the water, video and audio distortions disrupting all incoming visual and audio data for 6 seconds. The feed cuts out.
