[[>]] [[module Rate]] [[/>]] **Recovered UIU Documentation** > **__Audio Log of Item #258 Examination__** > > **Location:** USAF Installation at Groom Lake, NV > > **Foreword:** Item #258 is an unused satellite developed by Project Excalibur-██ and identical to those deployed for SDI-██ System "Xye". This examination is being performed with the objective of obtaining information pertinent to the understanding and repair of Item #234 (the core component of SDI-██ System "Xye"). "R" and "N" are mechanical engineers with a background in space exploration. "E" and "A" are agents overseeing the procedure. > > <Begin Log> > > **R:** There's no conduit from these panels...are they just for show? > > **E:** Most likely, we are not sure as of yet what it is powered by. > > **N:** Opening superior side access point. > > //A metallic sound is heard, accompanied by a grunt from "N".// > > **N:** What in all—? > > **R:** What—is that //blood//? > > **N:** No, blood is brighter-colored and more opaque, and— > > //A sharp inhalation is heard.// > > **N:** It smells like iron, this doesn't. > > **A:** What does it smell like? > > **N:** I have no idea. R, here, take a sample to the lab. > > **R:** Roger. > > //"R" is heard leaving the room.// > > **N:** Continuing with the examination. > > //Wet, rustling sounds are heard.// > > **N:** Components 23, 24, 27...missing. Unsurprising, all the solar conversion components are gone. There's a lot of wiring, much more than there should be. Looks like fiber-optics, all pale gray, tightly-bundled. Wait a moment...there's no charge, it's certainly not electrical...It's unusually warm in here. > > **E:** Internal temperature? > > **N:** ...37 degrees Centigrade. > > **A:** What's that in— > > **N:** 98 degrees. > > **A:** ...Odd. > > **N:** That //is// odd. There's really an enormous amount of wiring in here, and I barely see any of the original components—wait a moment. > > **E:** What? > > **N:** I found...something, it's not a component I recognize but-Jesus, what is this— > > //The sounds of rummaging can be heard.// > > **N:** It's an irregularly-shaped container, I'm not sure what it's made of, but it's not metallic...the wiring seems to congregate on this object. > > **A:** How big? > > **N:** Maybe 25cm across at the widest, 15cm at the thinnest...it's fairly light. > > **A:** What— > > **N:** It's warm. > > **A:** Same temperature? > > **N:** Warm... > > **A:** N? > > **E:** N, are you okay? > > **N:** Are you warm enough? > > **E:** N, what— > > **N:** Sleep now...warm and cozy... > > **A:** Fuck. > > **E:** Get him out of there. Now! Get him out now—open! > > //Loud thrashing is heard, "N" appears to be crying or laughing, it is unclear.// > > **A:** Oh God— > > **E:** Get them out of him— > > **A:** They're getting longer— > > **E:** That's not fiber-optics— > > **N:** [DATA EXPUNGED] > > **E:** Who is he talking about?! > > **A:** //Cut the wires!// > > <End Log> [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box-end]]
