Special Containment Procedures: A circular perimeter has been established 2km from

SCP-1730, and a quarantine zone has been established 1km from SCP-1730. Personnel
who are to enter SCP-1730 must first undergo Class VII Hazardous Contact
preparation measures, including the application of a modified "Maxwell-Harden"
hazardous material reinforced airtight suit. The application of these protective
measures may only take place at the Provisional Site-23 quarantine main gate.

Individuals attempting to exit the quarantined area must first submit to thorough
decontamination protocols as administered by the quarantine security staff.
Individuals failing to meet the quarantine extraction parameters are to be held for
further decontamination or, in the event decontamination becomes unfeasible,
termination.

Containment Update ██/██/████: Dangerous biological and cognitohazardous entities

have resulted in high casualties of security rescue teams. Mobile Task Force Zeta-9
"Mole Rats" has been assigned to all current exploration efforts.

Containment Update ██/██/████: Due to the events detailed in Exploration Log 7, all
future exploration of SCP-1730 has been suspended indefinitely, pending Overseer
approval.

Containment Update 02/01/2016: Due to information gathered by Foundation

surveillance teams, exploration and recovery efforts into Site-13 are no longer
indefinitely suspended. Details will be available on a need-to-know basis. Assigned
Mobile Task Force units will be alerted by their superior officers.

Containment Update 05/15/2017: Mobile Task Forces Apollo-3 "Game Wardens" and Tau-5
"Samsara" are activated, and assigned to exploration of SCP-1730. See Addendum
1730.8 for details.

Containment Update 06/22/2017: Due to the events detailed in Addendum 1730.9, SCP-
1730 has been reclassified as NEUTRALIZED. Additional research efforts are ongoing.
Debriefing reports will become available as they are declassified.

Description: SCP-1730 was a large complex of structures 15km northwest of the

US/Mexico border within Big Bend Ranch State Park that was discovered on June 5th,
████. Due to the isolated nature of the complex, and the low survival rate of
individuals who come in contact with it, it is possible that SCP-1730 had been
previously discovered but unreported.

SCP-1730 bore identifying markings and contained documents to support the claim
that SCP-1730 was at one point Foundation Site-13, originally located near Nome,
Alaska. This conflicted with extant records, which showed that Site-13 was a
project that, while intended to be constructed in Alaska, was scrapped for the
larger and more advanced Site-19 and was never completed. Flora located on-site was
identified as native to the Alaskan region. How SCP-1730 came to be at its location
prior to neutralization is unknown.

SCP-1730 was, upon discovery, in a severe state of disrepair, and appeared to have
been left abandoned for an extended period of time. The site power generator had
continued to operate in a damaged state, despite a number of fuel leaks and fires
throughout the facility. This resulted in intermittent power failures throughout
the site, hindering exploration and rescue efforts.

The origin of SCP-1730 is still unknown, as is the nature of many of the anomalous
entities contained within1. It is confirmed that the 2nd through 15th2 basement
levels were utilized for entity containment, though the state of that containment
had deteriorated significantly.

It was believed that a contingent of human survivors existed somewhere deep in the
lower basement levels of the facility3. Messages written in English were discovered
throughout the site, consisting of warnings such as "danger" and "death here", and
other messages such as "not my body" and "bleed". A recurring message, "What
happened to Site-13?", was found in several different locations in the basements.

Several logs of data were collected by the remaining functional site terminals, the
relevant data of which is contained in the addendums below. Worth noting is that
inconsistencies exist between the logs and what has been determined through
exploration, including site layout, staff makeup, and contained anomalies.
Additionally, all logs are presented as they were in the original SCP-1730
documentation, prior to the neutralization of the anomaly.
