Cave

Item #: SCP-xxxx

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containement Procedures: The entrance to SCP-xxxx must be guarded at all times by authorized personnel. Only authorized personnel are permitted to enter SCP-xxxx for testing, and must be equipped with proper recording equipment for video and audio surveillance. Any urges to continue through SCP-xxxx, whether it be by personal desire or coaxing must be reported immediately.                                                                                                    Any writings upon the wall of SCP-xxxx are to be taken note of, and translated by authorized personnel. Any sightings of SCP-xxxx-1 as well as other entities are to be reported and approached, when permission by higher staff is given. When SCP-xxxx changes its location, no fewer than 5 search parties consisting of at least 5 personnel are to search surrounding areas, no farther than 1600 kilometers until SCP-xxxx is found. Any new locations of SCP-xxxx are to be immediately reported and guarded as required.

Description: SCP-xxxx is a 3 kilometer deep cave. A winding path downward is located inside SCP-xxxx, although distance is varied with location. SCP-xxxx is lit with several torches upon the walls, providing adequate lighting to the paths. SCP-xxxx has been described as incredibly comforting as  distance into SCP-xxxx increases. The path into SCP-xxxx is completely straight forward with the exception of the additional path leading downward. Approximately 80 meters into SCP-xxxx, SCP-xxxx-1 has been reported to appear farther down the path, waving at, and coaxing anyone who may have entered SCP-xxxx to continue on.                                                                                                          SCP-xxxx-1 is reported as a bald, elderly man seeming completely friendly toward the person inside SCP-xxxx. As distance into SCP-xxxx increases, distance from SCP-xxxx-1 decreases, until SCP-xxxx-1 is close enough to put his arm around the person who entered, guiding them farther into the cave. Depending on location of SCP-xxxx, SCP-xxxx-1 may guide anyone who enters down the seperate path, into what is described as a crypt. Rows of coffins are located at the bottom of said seperate path, often with other entities surrounding whomever entered SCP-xxxx, presumably those who had previously entered SCP-xxxx. SCP-xxxx has been seen leading those who enter the crypt into an empty coffin with a polite gesture. Subjects inside SCP-xxxx willingly enter the coffin, without struggle, and fall into a deep sleep. After approximately 24 hours, subjects will reemerge from the coffin, state that they are "A new person" and take on the role of SCP-xxxx-1, coaxing anyone who enters into an empty coffin. If taken down the original path, SCP-xxxx-1 will lead subjects to the end of SCP-xxxx, which consists of a podium with a currently unknown piece of literatue resting atop said podium. Subjects will then kneel at the podium, presumably studying the literature. Subject will then proceed into SCP-xxxx's crypt, and enter one of the coffins.  All test subjects sent into SCP-xxxx have all removed any recording devices on their person after said events occur.

SCP-xxxx is known to change its location within 1600 kilometers of its former location at seemingly random times. Depending on location, writings may appear upon the walls of SCP-xxxx in Latin, translated to: A new life awaits you. Do not fight it, Embrace it.

Addendum XXXX-B: Recorded audio and video transcript of D-class personnel entering SCP-xxxx.
